Doesn't matter if you you climb poles, or are a roughneck, or work in construction trades ( I've worked all 3) you will always have those that start of their comment with "Back in my day", and then proceed tell you how much of a bad ass they are.
Started out doing this in 1975 and still at it. It’s been a great job. Worked with some great guys. In our area we have miles of joint use lines so working with power techs happened a lot on broken poles etc. We respected each other jobs and space. We even had a few combination crews , one tech from power and one from telephone on one truck to do simple transfers so we could get the job cleaned up quicker. Same union but different locals. Telephone linemen back then were trained to transfer tri plex as long as we didn’t have to cut in slack. I have also installed mor poles in live lines than I care to remember so was my job as dangerous every day as a power lineman?probably not, but it had its moments? I have slipped down poles when we were allowed to free climb, an arm full of splinters from 25 feet hurts just as much as an armfull from 35 feet. Riding a pole to the ground that you are belted into hurts from any night. No power lineman, I’ll give you your job being more dangerous, but please don’t discount what we do. Remember that the next time you turn on your internet, answer your phone, or use an ATM
I’m a cable lineman myself, power guys turn off the power when working up there , cable lineman have to work with active power , so idk I’d say our kind a bit more dangerous
ok clear the air I have done both power, coax , and fiber. yes power is more dangerous, lot more planning when it comes to power too, but fiber and coax isn't not walk in the park either. guess what most of us went to line school and all had the same lineman and cable man hand book. all the same basics still apply and we do it to pay the bills and we like being in the air lets quit hating on each other
so you did high voltage ,or you took the fuse out so there's no power running ... I've been on callouts where power does that and then turns it back on, if I leave cable work .I'm thinking about going to power . I climb already so that's a advantage
Finally somebody who knows the real deal about the fundamentals Jeremiah Aberte. Thank you! I've been there before. Doesn't matter if it's 15/30/90 feet. A climb is a climb and NO CLIMB is safe.
110 wet and that lasher he's tossing comes in at about 70lbs. Don't see many power guys hoisting weight like that. Comes in on a crane. I've challenged a few power guys while building tm.s to touch a pair with a T1 ckt. on it. Haven't got one yet. Or even a pots line while it's ringing. First linemen where telegraph guys.
Would love to c more telephone lineman post what we do on here... cause we r not bottom of the barrel... I climb more poles that n e power lineman out there... I have done telephone construction since 96 and have been a lineman since 2004... and I have never set foot in a bucket truck... shout out to all the REAL lineman out there who actually r lineman and ain't "Bucket B*tches"...
first of all there are only three kinds of lineman. Offensive, defensive and power! I don't care how many poles you lean your ladder on. the fact that your badge of honor is that you know how to put a set of hooks on shows that you have no clue as to the dangers and dilemmas real lineman face daily. you might be a checkers champion but we're playing chess over here. and we play for keeps. but with all that being said I do have to tip my hat to a man who uses his hooks for more than just hanging them in the back window of his van.
bucket bitches 😅😅 .. I'm not going to climb a roadside pole of I can hit it from my truck... my crew climbs a lot as it is. I may climb a few just to switch it up but not every pole . work smarter not harder
Real lineman work out of hooks and buckets, if you knew bout linework then you would know you can't do hot work out of hooks. Telephone guys don't even climb halfway up a pole.... Get real bro
Don't get on here much... But to y'all's comments... U need no spacers when u r e-lashing cable... And the "Squirrel that needed prove he can swap a lasher" was me... I wanted to c how many people would check it out if I put it on youtube...
Oh it was you that said you dont need straps and spacers. Um yes you do you tard unless your working for some shit contractor that does shitty work. Your doing over lash you need spacers and straps. Your probley one of those dudes i hate to work behind. Putting bugnuts on backwards and tighting the washer side down.
Always remember without the electricity...your hardware is easy and light lol. Cable lineman have Heavy/toxic ass copper/lead cables that would flatten your truck cab haha
@@thereview32 I do I'm a lineman in New York pal. You don't pull it up by hand. Cable lineman have cable under tension which is very dangerous. I've heard from a buddy how a cable pulled a man in a bucket across the street due to the tension
@Dash You either love to exaggerate or youre making stuff up. A full lead 900 pair cable would not flatten a truck cab. Neither would placing tension of any cable pull someone across a street. Ive been a linemen for 20+ years and remove my fair share of lead in the Chicago metro area.
LOL, i love it when power lineman forget that phone lineman were around 30ish years before power was. Telegraph lineman put up telegraph lines for moris code etc.. Oh and the definition of "lineman" is one who builds or constructs lines and sets utility poles via phone cable or power. Fuckin clown 🤦🏻♂️
@@jacobmarley2417yah maybe not a 900pr but a 1200 ,1600 ,2400 ,3200pr is some heavy shit and with an old bucket truck with lots of play in the boom will definitely pull the that bucket with tension on it
ehhh i kind of liked the lower ride of some belts let me kind of reach further out especially to get over the "boots" ive even lowered it as far as just between knees and butt while kinda laying on strand to reach. or even belt off to the strand and reach out totally miss the work
No PPE at all? come on man your work looks good and smooth, but you have to be safe right? No safty glasses, gloves? Your work can be good, smooth, and safe. Its the little things that matter and make a difference. All fun and games until you take an eye out.
Logan Grissom real shit ,im a grunt here in los angeles and they told us about 2 incidents identical mistake one passed away from not wearing ppe the other survived with minor injuries.. not worth it to think your hot shit without ppe

We always did bugnuts 18" off the pole, one strap on each side of the bugnut and 6-8 wraps of wire following the wrap of the strand. Pay by the foot has gone away here, everyone only wants to pay hourly. I miss the production pay checks. Just isnt worth it without crazy overtime anymore. I used to average 5-10k feet a day, few times hitting over 20k when its road side. With 70% easement and everything being fiber to the home, we got a bunch of 18 year old ladder jockies making $12 an hour to get 2 spans done a day. I get hired on and run em out of work in a month then get laid off. Last job they had me scrubbing toilets and running parts for 3 months at $19/hr then never paid me the production bonus. Now I deliver pizza. Make alot less, but my knees dont bug me anymore. No out of town and I pick up my kids from school.
Think telecom and electrical are pretty similar? Try being up in primary every day. One wrong move and you're horribly disfigured, disabled or dead. With hot gloves it's all right in your face. If anything happens you're better off not waking up.
@@dkta-568 get the fuck out of here with that, tree work is not fucking hard i worked that shit for a year and a half before I realized I was wasting my time
@@dkta-568 I did that. It sucks ass my dude. Dad taught me to climb in tree gaffs at 10. Gaffed the side of my ankle almost immediately lol. It's just boring, repetetive and hard.
I start out saying I am a telephone lineman... I got respect for power linemen... I know I ain't going to do power... And somebody has to... Just like somebody has to build the telephone and cable tv lines...
you're absolutely right. I was just having fun with the shit talkers and I respect any who takes pride in their craft and a job well done. by the way I'm a power lineman and I climb almost every day.
Hate to tell you this, but you do need straps AND spacers when lashing cable. Yep, you do. Also, what's with the slack you pulled back? You never answered that question.
I expect thats where it's most comfortable on him. Some guys have it near their bellybutton. My belt works best slightly low of center on my hip bone sockets.
When doing fiber u have to put a spacer in front and behind the bug nut then wrap ur wire twice around the strand then bug it off I would get my ass chewed if I didn't use spacers
Anthony is my name A line man 16 yrs hips stop me in 2008 but a tornado hit our town in 2012 after 4 yrs like a bike never for how to do it I work by the foot so swap that lasher an do the make up later
@@lroy112 Bro cablemen pull through walls and make $30k a year. These mother fuckers hit 80k in big cities. they're smart and they're willing to work at heights, hard long days, in all weather, so stfu and work.
Usually when they put in a slice case they want 40 feet so they can drop it to the ground and bring it in there truck. But i have used the small fusion slicers right up on the pole
Ok, why hasn't that lasher moved this entire video and why does he need 48 feet of slack in that line rather than maybe 12 inches? And why is the camera guy wasting the use of a perfectly good bucket? Those things aren't free, what are you doing?
Don't understand the egos from the power guys. Power guys have an advantage of knowing they are going to be around power and how many volts. Us cable guys don't. You can have an improperly installed cable that causes an energized coax. Both trades work at height, in traffic and in ditches. Both trades have lost men due to electrocution, falls, accidents, etc. Both trades provide a vital service, in the case of CATV they typically bring phone and internet to customers. While internet may not be important for your average consumer, there are several industries where it plays a vital role. I work in the cable industry and quite frankly I couldn't do the job that power guys do, but I have seen the power guys do some really stupid things too. Time for power guys to shut up, drop the egos and concentrate on doing their job.
At a large institution, such as a bank or hospital, power can be generated on site via backup generators. Internet and other communications can't. The internet isn't just for porn and Netflix.
@Brandon You are 100% wrong. It is called a Utility pole when multiple utilities are present via a joint work agreement. That means ownership is shared. In my area a VAST majority fit this bill. Power guys set and phone guys remove typically but phone guys can set too. Been a lineman for 20+ years .
We were doing fiber the last couple of years before I retired [2002] and hated the part where we had to make slack for a potential problem, I think it was called a butterfly, is that the term ?
some of the worst climbers I've seen are Ibew .....and the best climbers I've seen do catv because they actually climb everyday in easements and walk the line unlike the power guys who have the fancy buckets with tracks on them.....just saying
I'm just saying.... (FU)! so when you tell everyone that your a lineman do you just let them assume that your a highly skilled professional who works hands on high voltage daily. or do your sentences usually start off with (I'm a lineman ) BUT.........
trusavage the term "lineman" isn't specific to power guys. Lineman refers to anyone who places outside plant on poles. Power lineman, phone lineman, cable lineman. Power lineman gotta deal with those high voltages, but phone lineman deal with weights and tensions well beyond the scope of anything power guys do. Each one has it's inherent dangers. Your a douche of you think only a power guy can call himself a lineman.
Kason 1 ladder lineman? See now you just talkin out your ass. Weights and tensions is pretty straight forward. You hang a 300ft span of power line, then hang a 300ft span of 900 pair phone cable. It sure as hell won't be hard to see the massive difference. Power guys deal with the heights and high voltages. Phone guys deal with weights and tensions. If you knew dick about any of this, you wouldn't be talkin nonsense.
I'd fire this guy. Way to not be careful and unsafe! Hurry and move as fast as you can without thinking about anything. Disaster waiting to happen. To anyone watching this video: speed doesn't come with moving fast. It comes with efficiency.

At a large institution, such as a bank or hospital, power can be generated on site via backup generators. Internet and other communications can't. The internet isn't just for porn and Netflix.
ILOVE cable TV job
Is he getting paid extra to move that fast? Looks foolish. I'm sure this is how accidents happen.
Can't be a pussy doing this type work
Cables a cash business, you wana get paid you gotta get work done.
Yes. Yes he is.
cable guys wish they were lineman...
We invented the term ol boy.
You ever wonder why they call it a telephone pole?
@@Bananahammock88 telecom lineman were the original numb nuts
@@Bananahammock88 telecom is a utility asswipe
@Brandon
You are 100% wrong. It is called a Utility pole when multiple utilities are present via a joint work agreement.
That means ownership is shared. In my area a VAST majority fit this bill.
Power guys set and phone guys remove typically but phone guys can set too.
Been a lineman for 20+ years .
@@Bananahammock88 not a cable guy. A lineman.
Do you get anything correct? were you just hired on last week and think you're a pro now?
12' loop to splice a drop n with...
nice
u there
As you, James Vickers no longer uploads videos. Have a look and a James Vickers that does......
We were doing fiber the last couple of years before I retired [2002] and hated the part where we had to make slack for a potential problem, I think it was called a butterfly, is that the term ?
I hate pulling that fucker. Ours is old and busted
Just methin around. A lineman builds power lines not hook up Disney channel.
The fuck is a fiber? Like fiber optics idk any electrical shit I do septics but fuck that shit
Nice but unsafe. wear some gloves atleast
Nah, slow you down when swapping
some of the worst climbers I've seen are Ibew .....and the best climbers I've seen do catv because they actually climb everyday in easements and walk the line unlike the power guys who have the fancy buckets with tracks on them.....just saying
I'm just saying.... (FU)! so when you tell everyone that your a lineman do you just let them assume that your a highly skilled professional who works hands on high voltage daily. or do your sentences usually start off with (I'm a lineman ) BUT.........
trusavage the term "lineman" isn't specific to power guys. Lineman refers to anyone who places outside plant on poles. Power lineman, phone lineman, cable lineman. Power lineman gotta deal with those high voltages, but phone lineman deal with weights and tensions well beyond the scope of anything power guys do. Each one has it's inherent dangers. Your a douche of you think only a power guy can call himself a lineman.
buggaz bean have you ever done power line work? please explain to me how ladder lineman have it so much harder with weights and tensions
Kason 1 ladder lineman? See now you just talkin out your ass. Weights and tensions is pretty straight forward. You hang a 300ft span of power line, then hang a 300ft span of 900 pair phone cable. It sure as hell won't be hard to see the massive difference. Power guys deal with the heights and high voltages. Phone guys deal with weights and tensions. If you knew dick about any of this, you wouldn't be talkin nonsense.
how good are you in this business if you cant show up the next day because you got hurt the day before?
contractor
I'd fire this guy. Way to not be careful and unsafe! Hurry and move as fast as you can without thinking about anything. Disaster waiting to happen. To anyone watching this video: speed doesn't come with moving fast. It comes with efficiency.
Cable Tech OK cable guy
Eh shit was too much wear n tear
Contractor..
Not a linemen a telephone kid
Lineman means you work with Lines, telecom guys wouldn’t dare call themselves that around linemen.
So you’re saying those guys in the video aren’t lineman?
Stfu 😂 or what u gonna do big strong man?? 😂😂😂
Cableman* not lineman
phone jockies not lineman
That's a cable tv lineman, not "phone jockies".
U mean scabs , If Henkels needs a lineman this video is no way to make a promo video. Try ADP for recruitment.
You know the term lineman comes from phone lines back in the day right?
in midwest they get paid the same and less dangerous lol
king troy that’s because Midwest linemen make shit pay
Not a lineman
I did the same shit as a female at twenty three years old, are you single?
That’s not a lineman
Telegraph came before power. Literally invented the word lineman.
Eu sou muito aleatório
Show ya a quicker way....
Meth meth meth
I can tote the Lasher up pole oh my shoulder The Lasher with two coils wire it Wieght of 75 pounds that not shit
I hooked it in the back side of my body belt, don't know how you could climb with a lasher on your shoulder ??
Y’all ain’t linemen y’all are cablemen
Not a lineman. Hes a cableman
Not a lineman, data fairy's
