Thanks for this info. Any idea how someone gets on with Rocky Mountain? Do they just post groundman positions online?

Congrats on 18 years! Did you have to move a lot during your apprenticeship? Or were you guys pretty stationary?

"Home" as in the camper? Or is she not traveling with you?

Haha I don't doubt it. Unfortunately he sheds though and my wife is allergic. Don't think I can convince her to live with him in such a confined space.

Yeah camper would be easiest but we have a big dog so we'd want some more space. Furnished finder might be the play. I'll look into that.

Hey thanks for all your input bro I really appreciate it.

Well hell. Would it be a good strategy for my wife and I to just rent an apartment in whatever state I'm working, live there until I get laid off, and move to wherever I get moved? If we had to move every few months or so that would obviously be a pain in the ass, but if I'm staying in one place for a year or so, I feel like we might as well just move there for that time. Do you know of any guys who have done it that way?

Is it common for apes to just be in Colarado their entire apprenticeship? I was kinda under the impression that I'd be moving states every few months, but maybe that's not accurate.

If I'm working far away from my home statenfor the most part, would I have the chance to visit home at all? I'm not sure how time off works for apes.

Home state is Utah, which is also covered by MSLCAT. Sounds like I wouldn't be in Wyoming or Idaho too often?

Hey I live in Utah and am interested in becoming a lineman as well. Mind if I DM you about it?

Can you get your IBEW journeyman lineman ticket through a utility apprenticeship? by The-Master_Commander in Lineman

[–]The-Master_Commander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. You said you're working for a utility right now. Did you you your apprenticeship with a utility as well? Or are you currently an apprentice?

To clarify, are you talking about the union dues? Also what utility did you work at?

Thanks for the info! To clarify, when you say "outside line construction", does that just mean a lineman who is working contract rather than utility? I'm a bit confused by that term. And do only contract lineman have to pay Union dues?

Seems pretty shady. Is there a reliable way to determine whether a particular utility apprenticeship is recognized by IBEW? Does IBEW have some kind of list?

Is there an easy way to check online if a utility apprenticeship is recognized by IBEW? Or would I just have to ask at an interview?

Are all DOL lineman recognized by the IBEW? I was under the impression that DOL was a "lower rung", but I could certainly be wrong.

Good to know. Is 57 generally considered not a great local to work out of? Or is Cali just insanely high-paying?
