Testimonial from Edgecombe-Martin County EMC: It is our mission to make electric energy available to our members at the lowest cost consistent with sound economy and good management practices. In order to accomplish our mission, we strive to hire the most qualified employees and contractors in the industry and we expect results from them that are superior to the competition. It is in Olson Tree Company that we have found this type of service. Not only are they extremely efficient in their occupation, but they also go above and beyond the call of duty when called upon. During “hurricane season” 2005, Olson Tree crews traveled with lineman from our cooperative to the Gulf States Region on three different occasions to assist with power restoration efforts. Their crews were extremely effective in clearing right-of-way, which enabled our lineman to restore power quickly to the effected areas. Without their assistance we would have spent countless hours clearing debris before we could ever began reconstructing power lines. We are convinced that Olson Tree Company is a business partner we can count on at anytime to get the job done and we are proud that they are a part of our cooperative team! Bob L.
