a drop crew has to operate different then a mainline aerial or bore crew. You’re not focused on the footage as much as your focused on volume of drops.
a solid office coordinator that is scheduling a drop crew day by day MUST route their drops in certain areas to minimize drive time, as well as calling locators back for locate concerns, contacting homeowners etc.
Regardless a solid office person or two is required to do well in drops. Minimize the crews obstacles to get more drops done.
I just wouldn’t expect to put a crew on drops to here or there to fill time because you’ll lose your ass. It’s something that has to be treated like its own animal.
