Young man,a forum (by definition) is a place,agency, or meeting for public discussion. This forum is open for any and all discussions. I have not made any derogatory statements about your company. I have only repeated statements recited to me by mapping crews. I have been in this buisness a long time, and have a strong and solid company. lately I have been recieving frequent phone calls from mappers looking for work,sadly I have to turn away crews as I can only handle so much. As a result, (seeing your postings for work)some of them have asked me about your company,and I have merely been searching for answers, I can't control what answers I recieve.I have no need to contact you personally fot the fact that I would only recieve a biased report from you. It doesn't mater who I am ,and the reason that I withhold my name from the bar has nothing to do with you!! If you are going to be in buisness,you will allways fall prey to the scrutiny of your peers and subordinates. I commend you on defending your company however,intimidation has never worked with me.
good day..

>The bar is for finding contacts and finding work!!!! Once again, Who are you? I have a number posted on my last message, step out from your fictitious name and call me if you have questions about our company. However I doubt that will happen. I am not using this site to host your complaint forum. Grow up!! Have a spine and call me.

>>If you are in the mood for answering questions,please answer these. 1. Why do you have to search on the bar for mappers?
>> 2.why don't you list your project locations ?
>> 3.how long have you been working for them?
>>I am not trying to be a smart ass,and I don't need the work. For some reason I have been getting alot of calls lately for imformation that I don't know,and what I have found out by approx. 11 mappers/mapping companies is not good. There are alot of good mappers out there (and alot of shitty ones) however a good mapper's proof is in his work,where is yours?
>>Good mappers should require a resume from you guys, not the other way around!!! thankyou.

>>>I normally do not respond to replies like this, however the comments in this reply are ignorant and untrue. Retainage is held in accordance with our subcontractor agreements and with the quality of work being received.If you had retainage held, your work was not to the satisfaction of CoreNet Services or our customer.All of our work is 100% quality assured prior to releasing any retainage. Anybody who has worked for us in the past or present knows how we operate. I think you will find more who are satisfied with our treatment than you will find complaints. Retainage is not a savings account we set up for you, it is there to ensure the quality of work being performed is to our standards and the specifications of our customers. As far as the $25.00 to anyone in our office who finds and signs walkout crews and cut the contractor prices by $25.00, you again have been misinformed. I sign all of our walkout crews for every project. I can assure you I am not getting $25.00 or any incentive for doing it. It is my job. So please feel free to call me anytime you wish to enlighten me on our companies policies and procedures. But when you do Please use your real name instead of hiding behind a fictitious name so I know who you are.

>>>>The way they operate is they pay $25/mile to anyone in their own office to find mappers for the projects they have. In addition to the company cut, this $25 reduces the rate offered to mappers to very little. They also retain 10%, which you never get back b/c they are often thrown off jobs. Good mappers will not work for such low rates and Truvance finish up with poor quality mappers. Ask them what happened in Denver. They are out a hundred thousand dollars.
