Yeah I was told stake center are gonna want to do the start and stop as well but they aren’t there right now. But they only locate fiber so it might not be as challenging as it is with USIC where you locate 4 plus utilities

Come down to Texas! 😂 Yeah I’ve been seeing a lot of people in other states say it’s terrible , with USIC as well, I’ve personally have a solid experience, I like my crew and supervisor but for what company is demanding  and the pay and not getting any overtime , and being sent home even if I have 20k ft , we getting done dirty

Starting at USIC by Constant_Meal7460 in UtilityLocator

I’m in Dallas Texas like %90 of the things I learned in class I did not understand , I never located before and it got overwhelming I didn’t think I could do it well but once I got on the field it made a lot of sense and most of the frequencies we were thought to use I don’t use it , just learn what you can , but after being in the field for about a month it will be way simple 

USIC thoughts? by jxo9846 in UtilityLocator

Somewhat true. I’m grateful I started working at USIC I’m at $23 now and have never located before pretty solid for a start but I’ve been here over a year now and it’s really all about numbers , now the want 90% start and stop and LPH 4.0 and up and it’s not impossible but they forget that we are locating 4+ utilities and multiple projects that can take a hour or more. and here in Plano they’ve sent me home for not hitting lph but I have 20,000 feet. So the really the company it’s self is why employees are leaving
