I-35W corridor no-cool calls during August heat dome surges
The August 2023 heat dome brought 110-degree index days to Burleson and the phone surge started at 7am. A shop running three trucks and covering from Old Town Burleson to the FM 731 edge of Joshua can take 40 inbound calls on the first 105-degree day. Fifteen of those calls come after 6pm when your office line rolls to voicemail. The homeowner on Lakeside Drive in Hidden Vistas is calling four companies. Whoever texts back first owns the dispatch. Narlo replies in 10 seconds with your shop's tone, asks if it's upstairs or downstairs, confirms the Oncor account address, and drops the booking into Jobber with a two-hour arrival window. You see the job on the board before the truck clears the last call in Mansfield.
