TruCheck meter readers
After moving to monthly billing in 2016, the PUD contracted with TruCheck to read about half of the PUD’s electric meters. All TruCheck employees drive vehicles and wear uniforms (red or white polo shirts) marked with the TruCheck logo and the PUD logo along with the words “Authorized Contractor.” (Please see the photos below.) They also have a PUD badge with their photo. Due to route efficiency and planning, customers cannot request a specific employee or company read their meter.
