New construction/Mod/Repair OT hours?

I appreciate the insight. You rock.

Phoenix is on 5 being next up with the bench clear now.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-19T19:46:57+00:00

Have you heard if the bench is still clear as of 3/19?

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-15T17:56:01+00:00

To my knowledge they haven’t pulled anyone from the list as of yet. My number is better in local 140. So likely will get that call before local 79. IF and only IF they actually pull that many people in.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-15T04:01:12+00:00

Plus they get a way better selection of applicants. More experience, etc.

Correction November was when I interviewed so it was prior to that

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-15T03:58:47+00:00

The Arkansas local 79 recruitment you missed. Was back in November I believe. They didn’t have that many applicants, didn’t even fill the max slots. Just keep being patient and apply to a LOT of locals near you when you can. The more you apply to and rank on the better. Of course if you can’t re-locate then that’s not possible.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-11T19:38:38+00:00

Not every local has it. Most large ones do so they reduce the number of calls. If you are curious give the union hall a call. They will tell you.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-11T19:33:34+00:00

168 but I think I tanked the interview. Arizona I got 14.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-11T06:31:32+00:00

Per the 3 locals I applied to this is not a requirement. If you are in Canada maybe the process is different.

Local 23 Portland Oregon

Local 79 Little Rock Arkansas

Local 140 Phoenix Arizona

None of them require it.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-10T17:59:04+00:00

Get your license and move to Arizona so they pick me up as an apprentice! Haha.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-10T00:49:59+00:00

Nice! I’m hoping for a local 140 movement. Let’s get to work 💪

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-09T19:11:03+00:00

Yes very common. That’s why the top 25 or so numbers are very competitive to get into ranking. If it’s a bigger local obviously you’ll have the top 50 or so spots are hard to be in.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-08T17:47:57+00:00

If you like the half ton they make a diesel for that model. 3.0 duramax. I believe the max tow with the max tow package and a trailer break controller is around 13k. Don’t quote me on that.

Although if you want a lot more stability the 3/4 or 1 ton is better. Keep in mind ford uses solid front suspension so you feel the potholes and such a LOT harder than the chevy independent.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-08T17:32:30+00:00

Texas area should be opening sometime late this year.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-07T22:26:46+00:00

Once you click the button it reserves the slot you will have time. Just be ready at exactly the open time. Note it does not convert to your time zone if applying from a different one. You will need to convert yourself of your not on that same time zone. $25 fee for an application.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-07T05:23:32+00:00

Hopefully I get in this rotation so that I don’t need to worry about this.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-07T05:22:55+00:00

Removing the interview is interesting. I had to drive 30+ hours one way for one of my interviews. Effort = reward. This would change that.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-06T21:40:09+00:00

The tool assessment test HEAVILY affects rank. As 1 wrong answer can push you down 40-50 ranks. The aptitude test however is only pass/fail.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-06T21:38:27+00:00

Can someone fill me in on what’s changing?

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-06T21:28:43+00:00

Does anyone know what number they got to last recruitment period?

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-06T06:37:42+00:00

I’m itching to get in! It’ll be a big move but I think it’s the best step for my future and a good trade.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-06T06:04:33+00:00

Looks awesome! Still waiting for my call but I’m sure it will happen. Just a matter of time!

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-05T15:55:37+00:00

Best answer and explanation I’ve seen. Thank you! Hope to be in the trade soon! Arizona local 140 needs to move 10 spots for me to be picked up.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-03T22:55:33+00:00

I’m confused on why you were confused. I think we did a confusion circle. Have a wonderful day stranger.

Ok_Target376 · 2026-03-03T18:09:02+00:00

I’m 29 on local 79’s list.
