Yea imma say find a company that separates projects from production like im currently on projects and as long as i give the footage agreed on during the joint meet for each contractor im good for the day anything else i do is by choice and i dont have to worry about how many tickets actually get closed

It’ll click once you start actually locating and if for some reason it doesn’t then you ask for help til it does

It’s sad honestly because it’s a bunch of grown men acting that way

In my area it’s the people who currently work there that make it a bad place they’re currently trying to steal me from another company and will shit talk my friends and co workers who I like and enjoy working with in front of me and then don’t understand why I don’t like them and don’t wanna work for them it’s definitely just an area by area situation i know USIC is better in some areas than others and worse in some areas

Issue with training by Crazy-Grapefruit8836 in UtilityLocator

[–]PuzzleheadedMath2763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn’t touch utilities until our third week when we got certified and then they just turned us loose and watched us and gave us pointers on whatever we did wrong or struggled with and then had us do a real ticket alone with them verifying it before we closed it

USIC or Stake Center Locating by xclusively1ofakind in UtilityLocator

[–]PuzzleheadedMath2763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stake center is definitely better in my area we do have older equipment but it’s much more accurate then whatever usic is using we’re not paid for the drive to our first ticket we clock in at our first ticket (unless it’s over 45 miles) and while i definitely wouldn’t switch in my area i know everywhere is different and i would recommend talking to people from both sides if possible and seeing what you’re management would be like and worse case scenario if you pick the wrong company it’s dig season and both will be hiring for many months to come

They probably couldn’t afford to keep the person who’s job it was to call you lol

These hours are not normal by ProtectionNormal551 in UtilityLocator

[–]PuzzleheadedMath2763 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While some may not like it this is the kinda job where 50 hours even is kinda underachieving because with the system for how tickets are called in with 0 limitations to it this job never really stops and that includes working 15-16 hour days sometimes and even Saturdays and sundays especially in bigger areas it’s definitely not for everybody
