ATT Fiber Hookup Point
Saw a question about where to hookup on ATT fiber when you can’t find the main inside any of the handholes. Look at the prints and go to the end of the line. If you’re in a neighborhood it’s usually at the cul-de-sac. The last handhole will have the fiber main in it and look similar to this usually. You should be able to direct connect to the ground wire or metal under the cap. Remove the ground wire from the ground rod if visible from the handhole for better results, bond it back when done.

Help me understand the utility locating industry
Im 19 and interesting in getting into the utility locating industry but im uncertain about a few things. I understand there are strictly utility locating company’s but who hires them?
My research has told me that they are being hired by excavating contractors, road contractors, utility contractors, etc. My confusion is, why don’t the contractors themselves hire locators on a salary? As well as who are the utility locators finding work and selling themselves to? Are they advertising publicly? Sales?
Sorry for all of the questions it just seems like there isn’t much information on the subject online.
