Student Surveyor

Greetings to all from Romania. First of all, I would like to thank all of you for creating this amazing community. I want to write this topic because I am a bit confused about the importance of owning a personal vehicle. I want to know if it is important to own a personal vehicle in order to do land surveying for a company or if the vast majority of companies provide a car. This is an important question for me because this means that I might have to buy a car just to go into land surveying and this has some serious financial implications for me and my family. I am still a student and I am not a full-time surveyor.

  • Not a Surveyor

    It would have to depend on the surveying firm you are involved in and the availability of mass transportation to and from your employer. For my situation, I have a personal vehicle that I drive to our office, then drive the county survey truck to the project sites. 

    If you plan to become a solo surveyor or work on your own, you will most definitely need to have a personal vehicle (purchased or leased) to transport your supplies and equipment to and from your projects.

    Thank you for your kind words.  I'm not sure about Romania, but here in Florida a vehicle is a must, unless you work for a company which supplies a ride to and from the jobsite..let's see what others say..

      Thank you so much... well you know as they say... if it is a must there... this might be the norm.
