I'm a journeyman lineman and I see all these videos of a young guys in these schools and you got this rodeo mentality of go as fast as you can, I'm just curious if that's what the instructors make you guys feel pressured in doing or if you think that's a way that you're gonna gauge your progress. In my experience if you learn how to do it right speed comes with repetition Not moving your hands as fast as you can and fumbling all over the place. A bad knot can get you just as dead as an energized line. Take your time do it right you'll get faster as time goes on and anyone who out there who says anything different Does not have their safety or their brother's safety in mind.
Dan Coats they’re timed competencies that we have to do. Each one has a certain time we have to do it in. I don’t know why, that’s just how we’re told to do it.
Dan Coats I'm glad those days are over we never got timed cause they wanted safety not speed and the happy day in my career was when they gave me a bucket truck.... And I told care of it like it was mine.... LOL
I feel exhausted watching you man... Just relax... So that your work will not be ruin... Plan and follow.. for reall this job is not easy.... God bless you..
If you ever get to do this in the real world all you need is the chain hoist.. wrap the chain around the pole hook it into it’s self other hook on to the armor rod jack it up pull pins swap bells and hope you have a better then average ground man. Don’t know way they are timing you when it’s pretty clear you have not been properly trained on how to climb or use your equipment. Unfortunately a lot of these line schools are just cash machines with poor instructors teaching a bunch of useless bs. My advice is get your CDL and sign the books at as many IBEW locals as you can. Start as a truck driver/ground man it’s the fastest way to get your foot in the door and then go onto an apprenticeship good luck!
Smooth is fast, don’t put your arm between the hoist and the wire as you let off, you can smash your arm in there. Don’t frantically crank up on it you pulled a bubble right into your body, if that’s energized that’s a bad day. Unless you’re going to be a ladder lineman at the cable company play it like it’s hot. And last don’t let your groundman spin like a ballerina to untwist the ropes, just spin the block for him
Righteous! It always amazes me how quickly these Lineman schools have these guys climbing so well. I know they have to pass timed qualifications. I don’t agree with it, but they want to make sure they put out productive linemen. I’ve been climbing for 22 years, not much has changed, except the BuckSqueeze. Much safer if used correctly
Welll actually they’re not putting out any lineman at all maybe in the non union world someone comes out of this and is called a lineman. All they’re doing is putting out cocky entitled grunts. Speed kills slow down go ho e safe
@@linehandibew6205 amen brother. God you said a mouthful there. Bunch of grunts that can climb and think a sticker on their squatted truck makes them a lineman. 🤦 how can they be linemen that have never touched energized primary ?? 🤦
Cute. When the wire gets bigger rig a roller on the sling instead of that clevis. Trade the cuffing hoist for a strap hoist. Easier even and slick. Since most of the training staff up there are youngsters maybe they haven’t seen better ways to rig
Rushing causes nervousness & vice versa, nervousness causes fumbling, and fumbling causes accidents....i think, and i think alot of JL’s will agree, that its much better to be a little slower, but smooth and calculated, than to be fast and fumble around...still good job though....we all know it aint easy and if there can be a problem, there will be 😂....like the handline hook getting wrapped in the phone, or the jack getting caught coming up....it never fails....its always the stupid stuff
What’s the rush???? Why do they train these kids to become rodeo lineman?? Also yeah that wasn’t a square knot that you hung the ox block with .....that’s a hope knot
Why are you changing insulators when you dont have the basic knot down. They should have you tieing a square knot on the ground ..why dont they just have a snap on the hand line to start?

I agree 1000 percent with you Sir
It’s because they’re being trained by non union rats........ the part of the industry with the most injuries and deaths. Speed kills!!!!!!
Big companies want you to hurry hurry hurry then no wait its your fault you got hurt
Secondary always goes above the obstacle; during ascent and descent.
Slow down, take your time; fumble less. Positive control on everything.
i saw that and i was like... no no no whyyyyyyy take your time just wanted to get down quick
i would say good job for trying to be quick and proficient but one mistake could kill you

Nice job but flip that shackle around. Pin should be in stationary part of sling not the moving part.

@@MadNlGER Sure changes the task when you're in gloves and sleeves and you're hearing that wizard talking to ya !
Show my respect to all of the lineman , They do a very great job , I ever visited our utility and watched their training,It is really a hard job.

You're rushing your ground guy when you can barely put things together without fumbling everything around wasting time.

Yeah. I see a lot of granny knots on here
Why put the handline on your d ring and your secondary on your breakaway?
I hope you can tie a proper square knot by now.
put your puller behind the pole and use the 2 grip om the puller and dont need no strap eazier for you
Did not tie the handling to the pole properly. A web hoist around the back of the pole would have been easier.
Damn dude. Really hope you’re climbing has improved by now
Your*
I don’t want to do this like that
Why are you changing insulators when you dont have the basic knot down. They should have you tieing a square knot on the ground
..why dont they just have a snap on the hand line to start?
Fuck all that heavy hoisting for small #2 wire . Just pee wee block them and be done with it . Get er done and come down
I think you accidentally tied a granny knot. Cool video though
Also when you hook the hoist you should have the gate facing down just in case it were to come off the wire and the gate broke.
Granny knot not a square knot
Very slow
Iiu
What a shitty knot for the handline
