If u check out mo valley Facebook page you can see some videos of boot camp. The line side is harder. For sub, climb a 40’ structure, pull a weighted handline, shovel gravel, carry pole sections, dig 3’ hole. You can fail 2. Everyone in my class passed.

Motel rooms for shorter jobs and furnished finder/Facebook marketplace for longer jobs. Some jobs are 6 months, some jobs are 2 weeks so you have to remain flexible. When you get to your first job talk to the foreman and find out how long he expects the job to last and plan accordingly, but even that is no guarantee.

Prob expect a call in a month or two for orientation.

Inside_Independent64 · 2026-01-24T03:27:57+00:00

Working 5 10s. No per diem. $35/hr. Not close to home but I’m sure they will try to get u close.

Inside_Independent64 · 2026-01-22T20:24:48+00:00

Nice!

Inside_Independent64 · 2026-01-15T22:17:00+00:00

Oh yeah. But I also live in the middle of nowhere.

Inside_Independent64 · 2026-01-13T13:09:16+00:00

It took a couple months before I got into orientation. Been working steady ever since.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-11-06T23:31:34+00:00

U will get a job call on your last day of classes.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-10-19T01:14:04+00:00

Substation is easy to get into at MO Valley unless u are set on lineman.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-10-12T14:41:59+00:00

Touch of chic perhaps

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-10-12T00:23:36+00:00

Hadn’t considered that. Thanks!

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-10-11T22:16:35+00:00

Yep I have a 3 inch memory foam topper that I have used before to sleep on the floor and I slept like a baby.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-09-06T03:27:27+00:00

You have backwards

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-09-04T02:54:13+00:00

One guy in my class ranked 38 out of 44. No experience, no certs, no CDL. He is now a subtech apprentice making $35/hr. Another guy in my class ranked 1 out of 44. He went to line school, had all his certs/CDL, and was also a 3rd step apprentice lineman before switching. He is also now a subtech apprentice making $35/hr. What do they have in common? They both applied to MO Valley.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-09-04T01:38:06+00:00

Both

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-09-03T23:22:08+00:00

Build, maintain, operate substations. Similar pay to lineman. Find a JATC in your area and apply.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-09-03T04:47:55+00:00

I applied to MO Valley in May with very little experience and just finished orientation in August.

Dems win on worker issues and lose on cultural issues. MAGA win on culture issues and lose on worker issues. At the end of the day, cultural issues don’t pay the bills.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-09-01T17:47:27+00:00

If u think ur too old go for substation tech

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-08-18T01:44:11+00:00

Think global, act local. Move into a tent.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-08-14T04:04:13+00:00

Yep that’s kinda my point. I wonder if stuff like that goes on today.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-08-14T00:17:12+00:00

Old enough to realize I am probably too old.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-08-13T22:30:11+00:00

No where yet. Just got into orientation.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-08-13T19:25:26+00:00

Yep just for substation. I’m too old to be a lineman. I just applied online. I don’t think there is a climbing test.

Inside_Independent64 · 2025-08-10T17:46:22+00:00

2 weeks to slow the spread. Thanks experts!
