    Default NE Locate Companies

    I've been thinking of getting back into locating but I've moved to a new part of the country and I don't really know the players in this area. Anyone want to share what they know of the various locate companies in New England? Specifically Vt, Me, & NH?

    It looks to me like the pay here is a fair bit less than I'm used to, so getting back into it means I have to consider the hassle factor. If I'm with a good company with the right attitude, I could live with the lower pay considering the current economical issues. I really like locating, but if the company isn't supportive, there are certainly less stressful things I can do for $12/hour!

    Oh, and where the hell were you guys when I was doing this before? Out there all alone with my heiney swinging in the breeze, this board could have been very handy!

    Thanks for the warm welcome! And thanks Linden Riddle for the links.

    Anyone want to offer opinions? How are they to work for? How's their reputation for quality of locates?

    WTH?! You beat me to it! lol You local Linden?


    Yankee, I work for On Target here in CT and I am plenty happy with it. I ha a couple issues, but nothing big enough to get me looking to leave. I have a good boss, good chain of command and some real good people around me. We have most of New England, Premier has most of NY and some in CT/Ma. Where you @?

    Premier is ok until you piss the wrong person off. Like high turn over. Like being lied too. Like being thrown under the bus on damages that were in no way your fault. Like porn being sent to you from mangement in your company email. Like being hassled about production daily (even when you do alot). Being treated like shit unless your related to Mark Makely, Vinnie Marchese or Ed Heany Jr., if you are you can get jobs and promoted to thing you are in no way qualified to do. Like being talked about to potential employers after you got fired for standing up for yourself and not putting up with their petty high school bullshit. Premiers and awesome company to work for.

    That was after jumping peoples shit about using the company computer for 'personal' use and all the other nonsense that goes along with it. Of course that was a 'Do as we say, not as we do' speach.

    1, I got no pull for this, I have nothing to do with it.
    2, what do I do, tell them to hire Sagedog? lol
    Best I can say is to call them, make sure your name stays in their memory.
