RE: A Day With A Lineman #43 ~ They have a long night ahead
Does it ever get complicated between the two companies from a logistical perspective? I mean treading other others toes or one doesn't want to work effectively with the other?
They have their lines and we have ours. We never touch each other’s lines... that came out a little weird. We really don’t have any issues. Most of our lines run out in the countryside or rural areas. Within the city we are mainly underground. The way they build their poles is totally different than the way we build our. As far as he workers go, we all get along great. With lineman hard hat logos don’t matter.
The 2 companies butted heads a bit when the golf course wanted to switch to over the our company. That battle went on for a couple years. The other company was really trying to screw the golf course and basically punish them for switching financially. After a long drawn out court case, we now service the golf course but people who want to switch over in the future... they have to pay a significant amount of money. Which basically makes it impossible for the customer to have a choice. So in the end I think the big company won.
Ah ok, its good that any shenanigans don't spill-over to the linesman themselves and you guys (and galls?) have a good respect form one another. It seems a complicated system though.
