This made a big difference with Nashville Electric Service.
When I was able to give them a specific pole number (8 digits
here) there was usually a truck out the next day to look at it.
It also helped to stand out there with my sniffer to demonstrate
exactly when they "hit the spot" with their hot stick probe.
And yes, I used a small hend held sledge to verify that I had 
found the correct pole before calling them in the first place.
