If I could give this company less stars, I would. I was walking my dogs this morning in Valley of the Sun in Fairplay, Colorado and I saw a truck driver driving 40 up our mountain. He almost ran me and the dogs over and left a massive plume of dirt behind. He came within a foot of me. Your drivers are awful. Our neighborhood is 20mph. Please advise your workers.

I tried to call and complain to their office about an extremely aggressive driver. I had this license plate, truck type, time, and location of the incident of this driver repeatedly varying his speed by over 30 miles an hour to not multiple cars around him on the highway for about a 5 mile stretch. The office did not care about the accident their driver caused and wouldn't even take the complaint.

The women that answered the phone seemed more irritated that I'd dare call and bother her with such a silly thing as watching their driver almost run people off the road. If ethics matter to you in business this is not the right company for you. If you aren't paying them they don't care about treating you right or doing the right thing. Changing speeds from lower than the speed limit to almost 100 mph just to not let cars around you isn't a safe way to represent your company, and not caring about people calling in with driver complaints shows you exactly why that driver knew he could get away with that behavior.

Another story of damage to property. They came through our neighborhood to replace power poles and rolled the power pole into my new tree which is now dead. Have contacted them but haven't heard anything back yet. Very upset and hope they help me to resolve this quickly.

Not a good experience. Sturgeon contracted with X-CEL Energy to pull a new electrical cable through my neighborhood and my rear yard. In doing so they caused damage to my property. The project was handled very poorly and to date I have not heard from Sturgeon about payment for repairs and replacement work which I will undertake.
