No More Excuses! feat. Chris Stovall
No More Excuses!
That is the theme for this weeks very special episode of the Utility Strategy Podcast. 811 deserves the respect of every stakeholder in our industry. Handling thousands of excavation tickets a day, they are the safety net of utility verification before we begin digging.
Unfortunately, the work is becoming all too much for them to handle! With the new infrastructure bill coming down the pipeline, infrastructure projects are beginning to raise the issue that there just aren’t enough people in the work force to take on these mega projects.
No more excuses!
Chris Stovall, CEO of 811 Texas says enough is enough! He sat down with our very own David Horesh on this weeks episode to discuss all the problems facing the industry from his perspective, and how they can be tachled without making excuses for ourselves!

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Here are some of the “excuses”
In Texas we’re getting about 20,000 calls a day that someone is excavating. That’s a lot, that’s a lot of work. For every inbound call we get for an excavation, we’re sending out about 5.3 notices of excavation. We’re sending out about a hundred thousand tickets a day in Texas.
