My wife wanted to put the Christmas tree up in October before HALLOWEEN. I told her she was absolutely nuts.

Corporate America scares the hell outta me..

Christmas trees are acceptable on December 1st, any earlier is just ridicoulus, imo at least

Firefighting. Risky financially and physically.

Bro didn't even answer the question

Would joining the U,S. Army in wire maintenance be a good way to get started. How would you rate their training program?

hey man question. Im currently an apprentice on the tree side im about half way through, did line school in Oregon, then went to doing underground then got this apprenticeship. Do you think it’s a good path to go for the outdoor construction line apprenticeship after or try and go for a line apprenticeship at a pud? If so I’ve heard both are great options but the pud side im not that knowledgeable on.

Christmas tree goes up November 1st at my house

Usually, wait to decorate after Thanksgiving if you already have Thanksgiving decorations

I can’t wait to go in next week and put my application in for the apprenticeship. I’m currently a laborer for a non union company , but it’s not for me I need something more challenging.

Hey I just recently passed my Aptitude test and it seemed there is a lot of competition, I’m wondering if I could apply to a different IBEW while waiting?

It’s a shame how many people are given the privilege of being a JL to an Apprentice who abuse the relationship to be assholes. It’s a sacred thing.

Here in so cali we make over $60 an hour

Should I stay or leave my heavy equipment job if I’m looking to get into the lineman trade. If I leave I’ll be going into a groundsman position.

there is welders in the IBEW? Where do I sign up I’m qualified for structural and pipe. Where is your video on this ?

A question 2 years later but when you flew from place to place do you ship your gear or does the new location provide that?

Been followingyour channel because you sharing valuable, can you also information about millwright in USA 🇺🇸 ,job opportunities, their salary etc. I am in South Africa and here millwright is a dual trade mechanical and electrician ,they work in mines and industries

Thank you so much my brother for sharing valuable information

I was a lineman for 19 years for a sub contractor, no retirement for me

How can I be a lineman? I have been looking at pg&e and I notice there’s a great need for lineman, but I can’t find any resources that would help navigate me to a journeyman line man.

If I’m not mistaken Ibew 111 has a operator apprenticeship

Do a episode for operators in the field there is only one apprenticeship in the union for operators and it’s also grueling and lots to learn

Sounds like cope bro god bless linemen but bro it never pays that well and sweet lord its dangerous. Thats a live fast die young and broke job. Like live in a trailer park with a v6 Camero broke.

I’m thinking about going into lineman college. I just turned 19. And I’m real eager to try it. Any tips?? Any information from previous or current lineman. Is it worth all the work

What tools do you bring with you to storm ?

What are the changes of getting into local 640 with no prior electrical experience? I’m worried to apply if there is no chance of getting on. I only have prior law enforcement experience

Imho, i found starting with a company was the best way. Least amount of upfront cost and you will not need to deal with "oh but you have no experience" fresh out of school looking for a job.

I make $35 and hour stacking pallets of frozen food I do have to work in a freezer that’s -20 degrees but still I feel like they should be making more

This trade is one of the most dangerous trades, because you're dealing with extremely high voltage, and very dangerous natural gas.

Having high expectations is preventing the next generation from coming in and learning proper. The next apprentice perhaps has never been in a trade setting, perhaps another apprentice is a rather slow learner. As long as they don’t have poor work ethic, it’s best to look at it as a case by case basis.

The Ibew local 1049 (Long Island NY) close to my house funnels people into the Northeastern Apprenticeship Training Program (NEAT). Then when you come back from the program they enter you in their apprenticeship.

Homie you look 40

I was looking at a graph last week and it showed 10% of construction workers are unionized.

What about for electricians

Something wrong with your website is down.???

What contractors have you worked for as a lineman?

Why does the IBEW bash Trump? We support Him.

Be an industrial pipe fitter in the petro and chem industry bottom pay in my southern region is about 28 top is 45ish.

Wished I found this kind of job 5yrs ago, trying to get into one soon

🤡🤡

This dude is a dork for wearing dress shoes advertising "working" (while clearly managing) a blue collar company). Be authentic and just say you were a manager trainee!

Making the shift next spring. Getting out of the factory work and do something I can take pride in. Can’t wait.

Finally someone I genuinely like 😅

He’s advice is what everyone says all the time but there’s a lot of competition and jealous hating as people that wants to misguide you in this field too

Flying certificate, whats that for?

I’m in the HVAC trade, Industrial & Heavy Commercial. In DFW, a good HVAC guy can easily make close to 50$ an hour not counting benefits. In 2023 I made 120k with minimal OT. I dont do much selling/quoting that could give me probably another 20k if I tried. Elevator workers in DFW make 53 an hour for scale, Hard to get into. Plumber/Pipefitter scale is 38.75 ish an hour. I have had interest in being a Lineman & also Elevator mechanic. I do medium voltage work currently, so linemen wouldn’t be out of the realm

Can you explain more of aerial linemen I want to know all of my options I’m 18 and just got my CDL and ready to apply to apprenticeships but aerial linemen does catch my eye and would want to know how to get in it, the pay and how different it is from the regular lineman trade. Appreciate the videos keep doing what you’re doing

It is not to say that he couldn't start his own business. It is that now a days it is hard to start from scratch due to regulations. It is sad that owning a small business seems impossible.

Step 1: Have a dad who has a successful business. *failed*
