Surveying with Robert

05/29/2026

Robert Martin recently completed a 3-day training course with the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT).

The course covered basic GPS, the new NATRF2022 Datum, and a full day of hands-on experience with Trimble equipment in the field.

We spoke to a couple of the guys who were in the training and got their feedback in this video.

Robert is looking forward to continuing to train the ARDOT Team and is now booking trainings through the remainder of the year.

The right tool for the job is something surveying and marketing share.

The question is always the same: what’s the objective, and what’s the most efficient path to a measurable result?

Sometimes that’s cinema-quality video. Sometimes it’s a smartphone vertical clip.

ROI is the right tool, applied with intention, producing the right outcome.

Check out these clips from our recent training at the Arkansas Department of Transportation!

This training was custom-tailored to their needs, starting with Robert Martin, PS getting to understand where the team was currently at skill-wise to meet them where they were.

From there, he went through instruction both indoors and outdoors for a combination of surveying principles and hands-on experience.

This type of investment in a team pays off more and more over the long term - put simply: it helps you make more money by being more efficient.

If you're interested in what training like this looks like for your team, send us a DM or get in touch with Surveying with Robert via our website today: surveyingwithrobert.com/contact

This week, we were in Little Rock, Arkansas, hosting training at the Arkansas Department of Transportation on all things GPS, Trimble Access, and ways to troubleshoot in the field.

From classroom sessions to getting hands-on experience outside, this was an immersive and interactive training cohort that was tailored to their needs.

Special thanks to C**t Smith at ARDOT for lining this up, we are looking forward to continuing to help your team build their skillsets with this equipment!

If you want to help your team master the gear, software, and processes that separate you from the rest of the pack, then let's talk.

Trimble Business Center is an incredibly powerful and useful technology for surveying teams.

But like any advanced tool, the real advantage comes from the user’s proficiency.

Software alone doesn’t create efficiency. Mastery does.

Here's what happens when your team understands TBC at a higher level:
✅ Workflows get faster
✅ Rework is eliminated
✅ Time becomes more valuable.

Learning features is nice and all, but here's the question you should really be asking:
How can you build the confidence, speed, and real precision that leverages this software's true power into a real operational advantage for your team?

Training with Surveying with Robert helps your team do exactly that.

We're scheduling TBC Training now, inquire here: surveyingwithrobert.com/contact

“Rob’s videos save me hours in the field!” - Anthony

That’s exactly what training should do:
✅ Save time
✅ Reduce mistakes
✅ Improve workflow
✅ Increase the value of your time

Training isn’t expensive, but staying inefficient is.

Training is an investment that compounds.

Because when you know your equipment and software at a higher level, you become more profitable and so does the work you produce.

Shoot me a DM if you want to talk more about it!
