Accu-read is contracted by our local gas company here in Oklahoma. They are the worst ever, they make 4-6 trips back in a matter of maybe 30 minutes (as if they don't quite know what they are doing) Then there is one particular reader who is the biggest jerk on earth. We have a senior dog and a the others age is under 2 years, they are not aggressive types (but do bark and jump when excited as most dogs do) I have a big chain link fence and my dogs have never got out (not fence jumpers) This reader last month was observed trying to stick his hands over the fence and poke at the dogs then this month he comes belly up to the fence, which is not necessary because that is what those scopes are for and he isn't at a huge distance from the meter, well he didn't like it that my dogs were there barking since he was after all touching MY fence/property so he sprays them with pepper spray! I went and took photos of my dogs swollen eyes and went to the fence, this wasn't a quick burst of spray as one would do if they actually were in fear of a dog but a calculated and planned spray as the top of the fence has been sprayed all the way down the length 1-2 feet. Now that takes a little time and not a common action of someone who is actually in fear of a dog. I know if I were scared I would not take the time to spray that big of an area and I would also step away from the fence. I also took photos of the oily residue all along my fence. I reported to local gas company, nothing! I sent a letter to Accu-read/olameter...nothing! I rarely use gas as my heat and water heater are both electric. If they keep messing with me I will just switch to all electric. They are unstable workers and an uncaring company!

My wife and I with my 3 year old child were going to get some ice cream on Saturday 02/28/2014. My wife asked why this little truck with yellow lights was riding so close to our bumper. I turned around, saw it was an accu- read truck.
We were already doing 50 in a 45 and this crazy driver passed us then had to slam on her breaks because there was no place to go.
I did get pics of the truck once she got in front of us.
Needs driving school for sure.
I'll call entergy to complain.

From what I've experienced and read about this company, I am convinced there are some very shady, psychotic employees working for accu-read. When we had a new meter box put on our pole, Entergy connected the street light to our meter. When I called Entergy, they said they couldn't see a problem and that if they came out here to look, I would be charged a service fee on my bill. Next thing I know, a very rude, condescending hag shows up my door from accu-read with no name tag or ID number and threatens that my electric is in some other name and that if I didn't get this fixed within 24 hours, I would be disconnected. I called the electric co and explained, they said they don't see anything wrong and to have the woman call the manager I was speaking with. The next day, accu-read hag shows up and speaks to the Entergy manager from my phone and is asked not to disconnect my service, that they would send service out to look at it. When she hung up, the hag said she was still going to disconnect me and I asked her to leave my property. She parks her truck on the road and waits for some service guy she has called on her phone to come out and disconnect me. I call Entergy manager back and explain what she is doing, accu -read hag refuses to speak with her further and Entergy manager immediately dispatched another service truck to turn it back on within 2 hours. I'm thinking what in the heck is wrong with these people? I have two small children witnessing this hateful hag being rude. At that time I was going through medical problems and could not afford to hire an attorney. It turns out, Entergy made a mistake in hooking the electricity. Notice there is no website to register complaints for accu-read company ?
