About

Built by the industry, for the industry.

Utility and telecom construction runs on people who travel to the work: splicers, drill hands, linemen, locators, operators, foremen and the crews and contractors who hire them. Most of that hiring still happens through phone calls, group chats and job posts that leave out the pay.

Dragging Up puts it in one place. Job posts carry the pay range, per diem and duration. Workers keep one profile with their trades, tickets and travel range, and apply free. Crews post when they are open, and contractors send them bid requests in a thread instead of a phone tree.

Less noise. Better information. Real opportunities.

• Workers never pay to find, apply to or talk about a job.
• Every job post shows a pay range and the employer's name.
• Posts expire after 30 days unless the company renews them, so the list stays current.
• Anyone can report a listing or a member, and our team reviews reports.
