Dalton Gay agreed!

This is like discovery channel shit right here

Dalton Gay I’d watch it

The intro made it look like it is

needs some added drama like maybe one of their feet "slip" then cut to a commercial

I personally feel over the top production like this detracting form the content. The video would have the same overall information in half the time without all the fancy transitions and explaining what we are about to see seconds before actually seeing it... I came here to learn about a skill and watch these people do their work not to see an overly dramatized _show_ but to each his own.

Agreed

Muy bien! comparto tu opinion! soy empleado de una empresa electrica! en Argentina1 ser buen compañero!

Dennis C my dad is working on comed property for 3 phase in Chicago. We are on the contractor side

32 looking for a career change. Is 32 too old to start as a lineman apprentice?

@@user-zc7kf8vx5dno most apprentices are late 20’s to mid 30’s. not very often you see an apprentice under 25

wrongworld exactly. They’re willing to demonize, but hell no, they won’t step into the shoes.

@@garynelson9538 Bet she could spell and punctuate properly though.

Imagine how terrible it would be to have one of those annoying bitches in the truck with you though?

lol. we all know what a pile of useless shite organisations become when women aren't there to keep men on track. eg the catholic church

Rob Pierson what local?

Jamal B now I'm 13 in West Virginia and 19 on local 17

@@Robbobshiskabob did you get in? I was told to go to a utility that's union and see if they will hire you as a groundsman and that will get you a faster opportunity because of already being in

You have to be born and cut out to do that job. You are either born with the valor or not. Valor isn't learned but controlled.

Your welcome. 😊

I am from Bangladesh I am a line man. This is a very dangerous job. You have to be ready for duty in 24 hours.

Im thinking about becoming one? Doe sit suck your life away from your family like they say?

Did you get the job?

Eddie Johnston did you get the job???

I applied for an apprenticeship yesterday as well, I don’t have any experience so I doubt they’ll hire me. Although I’m currently studying Power Transmissions & Distribution to help me get my foot in the door, I hope you got the job!

Eh, I had an interview but did not get an apprenticeship earlier this year.

@@405ruben Did you get it?

electricalron we played darts sometimes.lol

Sign me up

My fiance was a journeyman lineman,hung from helicopters working on lines too high to climb....I've heard about those long days(in the truck)while making a huge paycheck without even getting out . May God bless you all! LOVE YOU, BABY 😭 Miss you too much!!! Ronald Dean Pearson (12/30/61-07/20/21)

Apparently they earn those well deserved breaks. It's no sweat off my nose or money out of my pocket, so it doesn't bother me to see them sipping coffee and surfing the net on occasion. News papers are a thing of the past. No one reads them anymore.

America tends to be a bit more unsafe in the working world than other countries unfortunately.

@@cantnot2797 not America tends to be unsafe but company’s are fuckin cheap

If it’s not needed why make things more difficult there all wearing safety glasses and hard hats plus gloves

@@cantnot2797 Absolutely nothing unsafe about NOT wearing fr driving to a job.

so he works telecom, so hes not a lineman?

COLTON_CJF it’s a great one, takes willingness to learn, common sense, and some balls

Did you have any luck landing a career?Anyone with info on how to join?I did a 2 year program at Amtrak and i went to school for electrician.203-889-7654 is my number.

Lorenzo Foreman there’s all kinds of ways, contracting is ideal way for getting into it, it’s harder to get on at a power company. You can just find out your local union halls and go sign the books, you’ll start as a groundman and work your way up while you wait for a call from whatever apprenticeship region you are in. There is also non union, which is what I work, I like the company I work at, I would say it’s about as good as non union gets, at least in my region

Lorenzo Foreman you also need a class A cdl

@@gunnarcaldwell8477 I have a class A.Contracting?

Phil McCracsdmmouegsdcyken u

IronPiedmont1996 how do you get into the industry. I live in Florida and we haven't had power over a week due to hurricane Irma

Why don't there put them underground as in parts off states there know there get tornado

Probably worked with my fiance,Ronald Dean Pearson,

Same here man. Good luck.

Probably worked with my fiance, RONALD DEAN PEARSON,12/30/61=07/20/21 Miss him every minute of every day 💔💔💔💔 May God bless you all...

have u found a job yet?

2112 he died shortly after

Evan Dckens you would just call 911 and tell them what’s happening, then they would contact the power company and such.

Avery Wilson did you get it? Was thinking of doing the same.

@@map9680 I also want to know if he did it been thinking of doing the Lansing community college program in 2020. The only downside is consumers don't have pension only 401k and it's UWUA not ibew not sure what to do. Might continue with applying at 876!

Avery Wilson You get it?

mason lasby I’m going out of Local 17, SE Michigan 🤘🏻

It’s a skilled labor. Not an electrician. It’s lineman if your a journeyman

Jared Adams depends on the company and the ground you’re putting it in. I know for aep it’s like 4 feet in solid rock and 6 and a half for normal dirt

10percent pole

10 percent of the height plus 2 feet

Try looking up a jatc or apprenticeship program hope this helps

@@lld9888 thanks

Adam Guest, Somerset, KY.. Im in school right now. $3,800 for the 8 week program and after you graduate, you’ll be invited to a job fair. Somerset lineman tech school

Albat.org

the immigration process would be the biggest factor. but if you have a decent amount of money to pay for lineman school you can become an apprentice relatively fast 4-6 months. i wouldn't give up on it.

Did the german a good work ?

slap twin bust your ass on the ground first

Jared Adams I’ve seen some with one but it’s pretty uncommon. These trucks are already pack full of stuff and in order to use the welder someone on the crew would be certified. Also they want the equipment to be in top shape so one with a welded break wouldn’t cut it.

You have to have your cdl

Why do you hate your job?

Who Zaskin hours and pay depend on where you’re working and if you’re union or a rat. I work 40+ every week and make $52/hour. Plus when I hit hurricanes or big storms it’s 7 days a week 16 hour days for double bubble.

@@linelife2690 that's damn near $12k a week my buddies dad makes just under 11k a week. Wishing to get into an apprenticeship 1 day!

Chubby672 climbing is for the grunts

And? Do you still hund down and spear your own animal for dinner? Evolution isnt always a bad thing

You don't see them climbing because the poles that need climbed are the ones off the beaten path.

Knowing how to Climb is a must...that being said, its what bucket trucks were invented for...use the tools that make the job easier....Diesel doesnt get tired....

Chubby672 In some urban areas all you do is climb, because Easement where Line are located is behind homes. In rural areas, you are able to use a Truck. But here is a kicker to your point. When we get heavy storms here in SE Michigan, we will get mutual assistance from out of town Lineman. And because they do not climb often enough, when they come here, that fact becomes Painfully apparent to us. This is not an Indictment on them as Lineman, it’s just a reality of where they work. Thanks for you help Brothers and stay safe.
