Report
No plan for citizen emergencies, poor communication with people passing through work zones, a lot of the workers are rude, and they don't put adequate signage up. Dump trucks never cover their loads either. Atrocious traffic control and direction. I wouldn't recommend this company for anything except causing problems. Do better, Poteet.

Whoever is in charge of setting up the flow of traffic needs to find a new career. The job they are doing in Fergus County has gotten ridiculous. It took 42 minutes to go less than four miles today. It's sad you leave an hour early and are still 15 minutes late because of them. I hope someone is looking into the time they are taking and delays that they are causing people.

Should never again be awarded a state contract. Absolutely no control of or conscious plan to control traffic flow or patterns. The work (resurfacing 93 north of lakeside) looked adequate and even. But the process and procedure of their PM's is the worst I've ever seen. One of their PMs or supervisors was super condescending and rude when two of us followed him out accidentally instead of the pilot car. 60+ minutes to get in the correct flow! Unnecessary, the random bouncing around and monopolizing 9 miles of road at once is atrocious. Please invest in a better planning phase before going forward to more state bids.

Nice job flagging Idaho Street in Kalispell guys :/. You failed to close the left hand turn lane onto 7th EN when you had 7th completely closed. This allowed motorists to attempt to make the left turn, only to discover they could not, and leaving them stranded in the face of oncoming traffic! YOU caused a dangerous situation which ultimately resulted in an accident.
