I drive my own truck, buy everything and I do have two meters.
I've got no problem with your truck, my point on this was more the guy driving up in his hatchback with all his crap in back etc.
And just because you work by the hour and have a nice little uniform and and a shiny company vehicle
I work for a private co. with 4 installers (7 people in entire co.), they supply the van and tools(my boss would say my van isn't very shiny & that I need to wash it
). I work on commision, not hourly, and a T-shirt with co. logo is all the uniform I have and I don't have to wear it.
whos to say this guy bobrap is talking about isnt usually prepared and just had a really bad day
I didn't, just last week I left my only cordless drill at a customers house, and ended up driving in a couple lags with a 1/2 wrench because I couldn't find my back up rachet that I hadn't used in about 2 years. I felt bobrap asked how installers felt it should be done.
What proper training is there for this type of work? 8 hours of SBCA classes? Is that it?
The SBCA class was a joke, we usually have a new hire ride for 3-4 weeks with a current installer. Also having a background in & understanding of home electronics is good.
I also get a kick out of people asking if I had to go to school for this
*edit - I started this b4 your last post-thats why it seems out of order*
