Any thoughts when cal/nev might open up again, I know this probably gets asked every year a million times but I applied when it last opened but got screwed cause my transcript from high school I summited wasent official which sucks but any thoughts or updates you might guess ? Thanks
book 4 and its my first call. I am on a sub contractor for my local utility. 5 8s a week paying 33 an hour aint bad
Im 30 about to 31 on nye have a wife 1 kid and another on the way. I currently have a cdl a unrestricted with a tanker endorsement , cpr/ first aid, osha 30 in construction safety and health. I've been applying to local 104 as a driver groundman for 5 months, bought my tools and even clothes. My real goal is to be a lineman, I figured if I can get my feet wet with groundman work and build a name for myself getting into the boot camp would be easier. Even though I still haven't got the call should I still apply for the apprenticeship and stop trying for a groundman job and go find work in fiber optic? Or do I wait for that groundman job get some hrs then apply? Not nervous about the interview but more nervous on the math on the aptitude test.
What are the calls for local 47 groundman?
It’s been a while since I’ve driven a manual. Most of the trucks I’ve driven at the companies I’ve worked for have been automatics. Are most line trucks nowadays automatic or manual? I know I need to brush up on driving stick before taking another call
Hey yall just need some clarification on applying for an apprenticeship. I'm currently at 1245 and looking to apply for swlcat. Do i need to get myself off the books at 1245 when i get the call or do i need to remove myself from all books prior to the application process?
What boots are y’all wearing and or your favorite I’m in the market for some new boots.
Book 2 hand here unable to view the calls while actively working thru 1245 (Home local hands can see them while working). About to drag since we have layoffs around the corner & work is slowing. I don’t want to sit in the weeds till the beginning of the slow season. What have some of the calls been like? Anything for greenlink yet? Any outfits that will be working thru the winter? Should be a good season for storm supposedly. Also any idea of how bad the slow season can truly get from those who have gone thru it before? Any info is appreciated, thanks.
Has anyone worked for non union contractors? How is it? Is it as unsafe as some people say? good to just get hours ? Do hours count when trying to get back into union ? any advice helps

If you get a 78.75. How long can you expect to wait in Houston before getting a call?
Just wondering what goes on when we’re at data centers. Ik it’s prolly not even worth taking a call for it , but a job is a job. Do we just do regular grunt stuff like digging n driving??
I’m going to get my CDL and I’m wondering if my DUI from October 2020 will affect me getting hired. Planning on signing the books (1245 and 125) when I get my CDL and other certs.
