I've got a 12,000 foot reel of drop cable and it weighs a couple hundred
pounds I think. I wonder how well it will actually spin on those rollers.

We have been getting 2000ft spools mainly for handling weight, it's
about the most a single guy can lift and get onto the drop plow. Yea,
there is a lot of 100-150ft scraps thrown out. But working from big
reels is a royal pain in the reat too.

I can get better pricing on larger drop cable reels, but they get
unwieldy.
If I use short (1000', 2000') reels then I feel like every single one
comes back with 200' left on it and that's too short for almost any
fiber install. Basically 10-20% is just thrown away in that case.
What size spools are you getting? Do you guys buy a respooler and
have
installers crank out what they need onto smaller spools, or do you
equip
installers to handle big reels such as with a trailer? Or what?
I'm unused to the logistical problems of large quantities of
cable, so
I'm assuming I'm doing it all wrong.
