Getting parking involves parkades that is sometimes a couple of block away from your destination. Or you can get a dodgy parking on the outskirts but that almost guarantees your car being broken into or you getting mugged or hijacked.
      JHb CBD is part of my service area so i know exactly what you talking about!!! Lately i try get the customer to arrange parking for me in their building but especially harrison and market street its a nightmare.

        Have to lift my hat off to guys that have to go thru that in the big cities. We have it easy in these parts of the country. One school I went to in Jersey, Sharp school back in 87, the guy I roomed with worked in downtown NY, the HBO building, guy was from the Bronx, he would hop on a train to his destination and that was his building. He had a small office(closet like room) and his cart with everything he needed, tool box and all, anything he needed would delivered to his room, he would stay in the building all day. Any one of you guys still do that or is it different now.

          I know plenty of techs who are assigned to one building or one customer. I couldn't do that, myself. It would drive me nuts.

            Agreed. I have worked single buildings/sites, not everyday, just whenever I was called there. Sometimes the predictability was nice. I still prefer windshield time to different clients. Lol!

              No, for 2 hours. (which is normally the daily max.)

              Sorry for the late reply.
