I strive to not have big wire on the job unless there is plant or site security, even before stratospheric prices people would steal the stuff. ( gone are the days of running a chain thru the reels )
I order wire for a day, ........ and have the crew(s) pull it all, ..there were times when we would have to pull a weekend and sometimes we finished early, sometimes not.....or the shop would to store it .
The hard part was trying to figure out how much could be setup & pulled, without wearing people out and pissin off the shopman
