Read MoreI'm a new hire at a small town public works. I was quickly given a over view of locating and in field training. This training class expanded my knowledge of line locating and gave me a understanding of what other utility locators are doing on a potential job site. I highly recommend this class or future training classes to other to better our line locating abilities.

Read MoreBob is a super knowledgeable guy and he clearly has a passion for helping others in his industry. I took this course as an intro for myself to doing utility locating and reading the markings and interpreting the equipment for my own professional development. I am not a professional locator, but often excavate for work, have located myself when I couldn't get a company to do it, and am looking at more underground construction in the future. So this was an awesome source of information and I am no doubt going to be safer and better informed about best practices going forward.
