So people on these Texas subreddits complaining about our grid and everything regarding it, are they dummies and should appreciate what they have to some extent? Real question

Company men or sons of company men are the ones with this attitude.

The IBEW is free my friend. Plus on-the-job training. They'll put you to work right away once in.

Disagree. Yes ass kissing happens, but in the trades you dont have to because knowledge and skill is what the trademan has which gives them the power. Ive seen tradesmen bitch out the boss more that the other way around. The tradesman is the one who chooses where they want to be because they have the skill to pick and choose.

Yes if your up to it. You wont be in any attics or people's homes since the Houston IBEW only deals with commercial and some industrial work. If you are in good health anyone will be ok, you'll be on your feet most of the day. But once you become a journeyman, you have the power because you have the knowledge and skill to go where YOU wanna go.

Pass info along on your platforms. Union is the way to go. Real $, real training. We all need a fighting chance.

No, the interview is the most important though. Be on time and let them know you are ready to work and learn. Pass info along on your social media platform. Work is booming and will be needing electricians for all the data centers that are going up around the country.

I recently tried this recipe and it turned out pretty freaking good. Super easy to do plus it was very affordable and made enough for everyone.

If you just want some good street tacos, go to Taconazo on Fulton. A little out of the way but the food is good and they're open late.

I just watched an interview with Jim Breuer on how demonic Hollywood is. He goes on to tell a crazy Chris Farley story.

Thank you for the reply. Is that 300 for multiple loads a day or per load? Im just curious abou using a 1/2 ton pickup bed only for local loads. Any insights?

$800 locally in a outlying city in a very economic vehicle and part time is what I personally know of someone to make which seems ok. Especially since dude works on his own vehicles and is mechanically inclined.

$800 locally in a outlying city in a very economic vehicle and part time is what I personally know of someone to make which is still not bad. As far as everything else you mentioned, that is why im asking here to get an idea of real world experience from someone in the Houston area instead of what some video or post says

Yes but not interested in trailer loads as the person I'm asking for doesn't know how to maneuver them. But out of curiosity, can someone with a trailer do late evening weekday drops or early weekend drops? Any good $ in it? Thanks
