some of the best linemen i climbed with were short .....

As a retired lineman I can honestly say that climbing that way looks like a pain in the ass. Never climbed a pole belted in in all my years. I retired in 1997 and the old timers would have kicked me off of their truck if I tried to climb belted in. There's so much crap on the poles that it would take you all day just to get to the top.

My question here is, and I'm sure I'm going to find out soon after I apply for a school, but is there a specific reason why a lineman must physically climb a pole or no? What I've been doing for the past 2 years now is traffic control for a company. I create the workzones like flagging and lane closures for when lineman crews or other types of crews need to be in the road to work. Whenever I'm working with a power crew, I've only ever seen them physically climb the pole only a handful of times if that much. Most just go up in the bucket, but I do remember one time seeing a lineman try to climb the pole and he fell but he caught himself.

Where are all the 4th wave feminists that want equal rights and equal pay? I guess they NEED men to do they jobs they don't want. Starbucks is no fun without Wi-Fi, ladies.

You will hit the dirt if you put your transfer rope under your fixed object 😂

it can be done if we beat the shit out of us some guy’s afraid of height that’s why if we can focus on climbing not falling we can succeed but we have to do it properly take it easy and following instructions face the fear of height and will overcome the fearness in us

Man, my climbing instructor walked just like him.

That was awesome

Sad to say, 99% of companies now use flagging companies, like the one I work for. We are contracted under Duke energy, carolina power, river city, an we even do underground fiber optics. Yall have a job to do. It our job as flaggers to keep yall safe.

I applied for a class A apprenticeship lineman job . At passed the written test now I have to climb a pole I have never climbed a pole I have to go up 30 ft turn come down . Im watching videos to get some advice . Thank you for the video

Jl : now, do it on a 750.

Yep.... Usually a chair waiting for me at the base of a pole when it's time to climb..

I was a new lineman 30 years ago and did it for a number of years in the cable tv industry. We never had the secondary safety strap. Bare hands to grip better with was the rule for us...lol I enjoyed it very much especially the outdoors and the freedom but, also the satisfaction of getting a hard job done. Here's to the linemen!!

I worked in kitchens most my life, hazing newbies is everywhere. We would ask new people to get: the bacon stretcher, a can of steam or our personal favorite, "Go mop the freezer" 😂😂😂

Same shelf as the beam bender, behind the shelf stretcher, under the ice melter

They’re all related.

No shit

Nothing like the old days

Luke 8:18 NKJV Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”

This man was undoubtedly the victim and never let it go

😂😂😂

That's like getting privates to go ask 1Sgt for keys to the drop zone before a jump

This guy definitely was the one to be made fun of with that joke 😂

Badass video. This dude does look like Ed bassmaster younger brother tho🤣🤣🤣

This actually made me wanna be apart of a class that has some humor 😂 im sure the trainer has the best flaggers out there..

You can also freak every out with a couple strong magnets to think you broke the shackle with their prank

Stop taking the fun out of it.

Those apprentice jokes help let you know if you got someone wanting to work or not. If they spend 30 minutes turning it they will most likely work. If they turn a couple of times and walk away your wasting your time .

I HATE THAT IDIOT WHO SAID TAYLOR SWIFT

bet they all listen to farm emo

I guess they don’t know about TOM McDonald

Rap does suck.

Rap SUCKS yessir
