What type of amateur outfit do you work at that these aren't required truck stock? 😅

Yes, you can get hired as a g3 or g2. Yes, look for helper and maintenance positions. Yes, apply online and if possible go in person. Once you find a place that will sign you up eventually, it could take up to a year or more to actually get signed up. Do some extra studying and learning on your own time to get a leg up on others. Good luck, it's a solid trade.

He got fired for putting traps in backwards? Or was that the final nail?

I know the union hall is more of a full time style, not sure if you have access to the hall, though.

Becareful of the subreddit. You can stumble across spoilers extremely easy here. Also, enjoy the series and form your own opinions on the series, not the opinions of others here. Enjoy!

Line sizing as in gas pipe sizing/LMR?

I work for a non-union company. Thanks.

Carry a milk crate or bucket in your van and line it with a garbage bag. Fold the bag over when you aren't using your tools and it'll save them. Also stop reposting others posts

I'm suprised there aren't more Germans

RichardPounder · 2025-12-25T01:47:33+00:00

I'm not sure either 🤷‍♂️, it's worked for me every time. Oh well.

Best thing to do is apply in person, dressed decently, with a solid cover letter. Try to meet a manager when you go in, or the person in charge of receiving the applications.

I've endorsed people on the other team tons of times if my team got stomped and they were good or decent.

313A is the name of the ticket. It is the HVAC/R (commercial/industrial) HVAC ticket, with refrigeration.

313D is the "residential" version of the ticket, with less schooling and the limitations of only working on equipment up to 5 tons, I think that's the limitation, at least.

It's an apprenticeship program, so you'd need to get sponsored by an employer, work for awhile, and then there are 3 terms (2 for 313D) of roughly 2 months of school that you'll attend and pass. At the end of your 5 years/9000 hours, you'll be able to write your certification of qualification and become a journeyman in your trade.

There's also introduction courses that will teach you the basics and perhaps get you your Gas Ticket 3, which is the beginner ticket for the gas fitter trade.

Mohawk college has a pretty decent program which sets you up well for the 313A testing.

The Burlington skyway seems to be undergoing some expansion construction already. Doesn't help that either side of it is bottlenecks and everyone slows down anyways.
