When I was still a route pulling field tech I worked in mainly city areas. It was so freaking easy to pull up in the alley, throw a line over the strand and pull it to the house, tie it off and then go up the pole to attach. All off of the trucks cable caddy.
Now in the suburbs its a little more involved. The only shortcut I emply is prepping all cable at the spool then just walking up, attaching and coming back down.
I also used to keep groundwire, P-Hook, groundblook with weatherboots and ground straps in each housebox. So when I grabbed one from my truck it already had everything I needed. I didnt have to stand at the back of my truck picking this out of that bin, this out of this drawer and shove everything in my ditty bag..
