@@tylerscott4473 Many people are contractors for internet companies, can look for local contractors and see if they do drop burial. Some companies have in-house drop burial departments such as mine but they tend to make less money so I'd look for a contractor.
Thanks for all the content. I'm about to embark on the same line of work and your content is very helpful. Where did you purchase your missile from? Can you refer a good company?
Have a question for rocky ground what do you suggest? I’m here in San Antonio and I’m starting out , missed the gold rush of huge money back a few years ago but now it’s like 32-42 a job vs 75 a job ish back in the day !
You ask this question on a lot of vids. You can't generally just walk into a business and ask for these contracts. Most companies will only award contracts to guys who have experience in either in-home installs/service or burials with another company who had a contract for it.
My uncle did 45 drops at one point with a helper he was literally insane. Like he got deported for multiple dui’s and does all sorts of drugs like cocain. Made crazy money Though my dad picked up one of his checks he got like 15k weekly and he would pay my dad 180 a day 😂.
Okay so now i understand why yall cuts drop nonstop. You rely on other people actually burying 6 inches deep, even if it is 6 inches down, theres still a great chance you hit a different line doing it like this. Although maybe a locator was used and we just didnt see it.
I agree with OP the whompers are heavy as hell will tire you out way faster. They take up more room in the truck and you can't dig normally with them like you can with a spade shovel. Also there's no way to feel for other cables, Irrigation etc with a whomper you'll just destroy anything and everything. To each their own
Keep em coming bro. I work in drop bury too and it’s good to see another guy who takes pride in his work.

@@leet5135 how do they usually pay? By the foot or by the drop?
I normally cut the live cable at the end so the customer is not without cable for a long period of time
Same

As someone who is working a 9-5 with $20 an hour and I’m getting an opportunity to do this work should I do it??
Depends on you, if you like working outside in all weather types.
That looks like in Houston if y’all hiring lmk
I’m here to, lmk if you find out how to get into this
Hi buddy, how much did you make in this job?

Do you know how much per foot they charge?
Damnn that’s crazy
How much you make per each buried cable? I’m sure you do about 15 of them a day? Also where do you get that conduit?
Ss work truck 🔥
Yessir!
We really don't have enough vloggers in the trade
Very cool! Where did you get that shovel thing?
It’s custom made , you can make one if you have access to a welder
Wilton Thinline makes a good product.
Go to ditch witch they sell them.

Barely 6 inches in the ground is why everyone on cable has internet issues every other week
@Moneyxl00 people doing lawn work/landscaping destroy cables every day
🙃
Every time
It can be 4-6” and it won’t affect the internet
@@franz4814 That's how it should be. At least 1 foot minimum.
Where you get that shovel
Thay make a machine that does cut fast.....
100sx plow
I see that the six inch wampler does no better than an average garden spade yet it's a type of spade.
The wampler is the spade to use
