On Wednesday morning, September 18, 2019 my husband and I were driving West bound on Pacific Coast Highway in Lomita, CA. The driver of truck number 3371 was driving in an unsafe manner. He was tailgating the car ahead of him, for several miles, with about 10-15 feet between his truck and the car ahead of him. He then drifted over to my lane. I honked my horn SEVERAL times to let him know he was drifting and he ignored me. I changed lanes to get away from him. He is the type of driver that causes accidents! When he saw my husband taking a photo of him driving, we waved as if his driving actions

If zero stars were an option, that is what they would get. In summary a poorly run organization that parades under the minority owned business banner while its multimillionaire owner owns banks, pizza restaurants and casinos in Nevada.
Employs poorly trained shovel technicians, who are largely hispanic and non English speaking to do the grunt work for Edison and other construction projects.
Came onto my property, unannounced for an Edison upgrade, dug up my front yard to locate a new transformer, in the wrong spot. They had to relocate it to another location on my property while destroying

Review is on driver not service. Based on a company vehicle, i would not hire this company. Was driving home on 91 and driver almost rams into my car when switching into my lane. Next you see him sticking his middle finger out at another driver. I would never hire such road rage workers to come to my home
