    Default Re: How Many Tickets Per Day do you do?

    I'm a 12 year veteran locator and I complete 16 deep-dig tickets per day as a rule in a 5- to 8-way area. Telephone, CATV, electricity, gas and a local city fiber on all my tickets. Then I add Kansas City water, sewer and city owned street lights in my 8-way pockets.

    4-10.....Mostly non locates.... Irrigation and small electrical.


    but, to my defense, One-call is just one part of what I do.

    I have 15 on going projects ranging from Pavement rehab to a 2mile long runway overhaul. All of these projects I have to mark everything....or make sure I know where everything is and help one-call guys mark their utilities.

    And while all this is going on, engineering and design issues for up-coming projects.

    Default Re: How Many Tickets Per Day do you do?

    Depending on the ticket load, and the area I have, (changes everyday), anywhere from 10-50. Worst day in the last few months was 8, (3 entire streets) and best was 72 I think (almost all clears) Usually power and tele, some towns catv. Biggest reason for the wide range is that I am back-up for most towns around me, and my "normal" area has a WIDE swing in ticket load. (2-3 contractors like to call in up to 40 tickets @ a time)

    Would it not make sense to have a dispatcher for you guys, that could look at maps and clear some of the easy/obvious ones ? If we didnt have a dispatcher, I bet we'd have to double our compliment.
    (May you live in interesting times)
