ACTS was incorporated in May 2007 by Roger Cox, who has more than 40 years’ experience working as an excavator, utility owner/operator, CEO of ARKUPS (a not-for-profit contract locating company) and as the CEO of Arkansas One Call. These varied experiences led him to conclude that for the most part, all stakeholder groups are committed to damage prevention and public safety, just not to the same degree. Unfortunately, the lack of mutual trust and respect among the stakeholders have created real obstacles for creating the dynamics that define a cohesive and successful team.
