re: Power trucks still idling in parking lot at 10:40am

Guys here took shifts sleeping in their trucks. The hotels theybhd for them didn't have power or water so they slept in there and had to buy clothes after a couple days cause they couldn't wash them.

We had water and offered to wash some clothes and turned us down.

Quite frankly they were awesome and worked their dicks in the dirt.

Replaced 40 poles on the street by the fire/police station near me in one fricking day.

Seriously, there is no where else they could be we should have them sitting around idling?

Are you fricking retarded? Your post was answered above.

Poor dudes probably traveled from God knows where to help out the area and you have the nerve to complain about the job they're doing while posting on Tigerdroppings. Those dudes will probably work harder in the next few days then you will probably work the entire year combined. Have a little sympathy and appreciate what they're doing for you.

Maybe they dont have any hotel rooms for them to sleep in and are sleeping in their trucks after their shifts are over.

Hey OP -

Those trucks at Hooters must’ve heard your complaints because that parking lot is now empty. They’re probably just going be lazy somewhere else though.

And they are away from their families who suddenly have to make contingencies for their absence. People who complain about the power crews need their dicks tazed.

Just seems like there’s a more efficient way of doing this.

They’re all just sitting in their trucks idling.

Coordinating 20k guys and associated supplies into a disaster area isn’t going to be the most efficient. Especially in the first 48-72 hours.

I don’t know what the specific reason for this would be, but I know it’s an enormous undertaking to get all of this up and running and so there’s probably issues with getting supplies, perhaps Covid related like everything in my world is, as well as struggles in facilitating and coordination of crews which are having to be worked out that are obviously no fault of crews themselves or in desire to get rolling.

All anyone can ask at this point is that people actually learn how to do this more efficiently because this sure as hell isn’t going to be the last time for anybody here to deal with this kind of stuff if they’re actually going to live anywhere around the coast.

The guys in our neighborhood told a neighbor there was no more they could do until the trees were cleared. They said there was one tree that took out two transmission sections on the grid and had the lines tangled in each other.
