Hopefully this year I can get my cdl permit and go to my local line college and make my cdl and sign the books. Ever since I was a kid this is what I wanted to do. I have a huge collection of power line tools and equipment and poles that I climb in my yard. I can’t any wait to get paid doing what I love!
@chrisvilla485 24 күн бұрын
Wouldn’t recommend line school .just get your CDL and sign the books ,and come on as a ground man then join their apprenticeship.

Not in the business, but this is still great. Should introduce the trades to all high school kids with videos like this.

Unless this supports unions. I'm a VET and can't stand union workers. Unions breed laziness. You will pay your hard earned money for union dues to watch a useless steward do everything they can to not work, and you will notice they always protect the useless workers that shouldn't have a job in the first place.

BULL-LONEY about "no one looking over your shoulder" . There IS no such job. True, there is no.one physically right there looking directly over your shoulder but you can bet your bottom dollar that there's a full schedule of work that must be performed every day completely..........or else, somebody's butt somewhere WILL ROLL.

Overtime they fail. If they fail then the electricity can energize the structure and will cause a dead short. 1 it’s dangerous and 2 the power stops working.

I’d imagine it is beyond rated for the load and is tested/inspected everyday before use. They’re also tied off. Is it sketchy yes but the second you start second guessing shit is when you start shaking and messing things up. A big factor is to trust your equipment. Otherwise you’re in the wrong industry..
