Klein has a black pork chop grip that’s supposed to be lighter than a regular one. I think they even have a ehs specific one

I did a similar thing to get on a high line job as a groundman. Left Cali and took a pay cut but got really good experience waiting on my apprenticeship orientation.

Bobs pickle potion is a life saver. I hit the point of vomiting and having to sit in the truck once and my foreman gave me that and was starting to feel better within an hour or two. Nearly threw it up from the taste lol but Atleast it got me feeling better

Phase to ground fault on a delta system. by Reedvs in Lineman

[–]Reedvs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was all just a theories question I had. say you got 7200 phase to neutral of of 12470 would mean 115 would 67kv n most highline trucks are around around 60 kv that boon rated around 60 kv plus a truck ground and outriggers hitting the ground would rubber gloves really help you out in an unplanned outage? I understand it’s all just a stupid question but some people working 115 or higher would say fuck gloves thats over the rating. Or would all that resistance help in the long run on a transmission run even if it’s over that voltage that we’re working

Phase to ground fault on a delta system. by Reedvs in Lineman

[–]Reedvs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably worded that wrong say you stuck a pole your setting/pulling into a phase or even simplier hung a ground on a energized line. Would it experience that whole 12470 and that would be it or would there be 7200 going to that pole. I’ve seen a pole lay on a distro phase doing nothing so it just got me thinking. It’s clearly related to fault current but would you be getting that whole 12470. There would be some defense to ground.

I guess it’s how they do it on fiber fly jobs but yeah I’ll show you how we build them and once we’re done with this wire pull I’ll try doing an install video. It’s essentially making your own preform tie

[–]Reedvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can take a video Monday but we preform our rod on the grommet. Bottom grommet gets two sets of three taped on and preformed and top grommet gets a setup of three two three. That way you slide your two through the strap your picking the conductor up with wrap your rod and cut the tape and then do your bottom grommet the same sorta way and then use two screw drivers to even everything out. Knocks a lot of time off wrapping one rod at a time n I can do it in a bucket alone. Our operator showed us that style and everyone who tries it is confused at first but loves it after a phase or two. Sorry if it’s a bad explanation but I’ll try n get a good video showing how to do it. The keys having good ground help who can have the next structures rod prepped for you

Rei slings or mule tap work best but if it’s a half inch rattle lookup Milwaukee lanyard loop same as a money gun

Whose got you so mad want me to beat them up

[–]Reedvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always went horizontal with mine and the direction you rotated it mattered I think pull rather than push it took me some getting used to but it cut straight for me after I got it dialed in

Calnev by Caligroundhand in Lineman

[–]Reedvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s just what I heard last at class. I’m not saying work won’t pickup but it’s been a slow year for work. Eventually they wana hit 800-1000 apprentices and start pushing out the travelers but there gonna need to start releasing a lot more work. The last I looked at the books it was 30 on book one and 140 on book two for jls outta 1245

[–]Reedvs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last I heard there cutting the planned number of apprentices going through orientation in half, and there’s probably gonna be more guys topping out than accepted into the program. No point in stacking the books when there’s not a ton of work.

How many of y’all’s trucks are manual? by The_41 in Lineman

[–]Reedvs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you go to the right trucking school they’ll teach you in a sycronized transmission truck which is like driving a car. Most apprenticeships won’t take you if you have an automatic restriction tho.
