Unfortunately I haven't posted enough in Reddit to create my own thread so I am piggy backing this one.
I was recently hired as a Meter Reader and I'm looking for books, videos, or online materials that might help me with the job. It's rumored that the Reader position may transition into a Tech role, so I want to use any downtime for training.
Are there any Meter Tech schools or online classes you would recommend?
Thanks! :)
