Looking to relocate
Just wanted to drop in and say this is our second contract that just passed a few days ago with 66 and I've never felt like they turned their backs on us till now. The seasoned employees saw this...

Is it hard to get a job as an American doing linework in any of these countries? Do you know of anyone who has done it ? How do they live there? On a visa or how?
[QUOTE=rcdallas_;146887]How does your company look at the practices for running temp services on the ground if you have a faulted urd service? Do you run the temp, do you locate and work now?[/QUO...
Here in Lewisville, we run temp on the ground with bumpers and flexpipe out of the transformer or pedestal into the meter can. Contractors are called to bore a new service which can take a while...
