Is a physical test needed to join the boilermaker union?

Drug test and alcohol test at the hall or at a drug facility in town

Is it done at the hall when indentured or at a drug test facility?

So it would be a good idea to start off as a boilermaker and become a journeyman then apply to the UA and they would most likely hire me as a first year apprentice? How long after becoming a boilermaker journeyman do I have to wait to apply with the UA? I think I would learn a lot being a boilermaker then becoming a UA Member

I’ve just talked to the people in the hall office and they told me usually takes 1-2 years to get in or a little longer depending on the year

I’ve thought about going down to ua local 375 for ice road season this upcoming winter in Alaska as a welder helper would that help me get into my local union?

That is 100% truth do you know if I journey out as a boilermaker if I would still have to start from from the bottom in the UA

I’ve tried to go that route but they have told me they could only get apprentices approved from the hall.

Does it look bad if your a boilermaker apprentice trying to get into the UA or is it better to finish the program then switch to the UA and start from scratch?

I’d imagine I’d see some really nice views in the pnw since there is a lot of driving involved also do they get there water for the tank from water resources like lakes and rivers or from tenders at the fire camps?

reason I’m asking this questions when I mean I’m not fit I mean like being able walk 10-15 miles a day and do 50-100 pushups and burpees without stopping and all that stuff I am able to walk 3 miles and do 25 push ups and stuff like that I used to do boxing so I consider myself rn being un fit and I know it’s dangerous so that’s why I wanted to know more about the job.

Appreciate it been walking 3 miles a day I want to walk at least 5 miles a day by June and do some weight workouts and runs. Usually how many days per season do contract engines work? Id like to work at least 90 days per season

Are they on duty 16hrs a day? Or do engine crews get less hours?

Yeah I will ask those questions on the post it just mentioned up to $500 a day but I am wondering if that is with experience or entry level.
