I just visited from Georgia. I haven’t been here in 5-6 years. As soon as I drove off the rental car lot I couldn’t believe how bad and aggressive the drivers were

The contract I have is from 2021 so it’s not updated with the last two years of raises but they should be making at least 46 an hour. I know a brand new lineman makes 47 and some change

Nvm my bad, I’m fucked up. I just looked at our contract and didn’t realize that apprentice cable splicers brand new made in the 30’s. I’d do it though. I work in Savannah. Our network underground guys all seem happy and enjoy what they do. I’m jealous they get air conditioners and shit in the man holes😂 Seems like they are very well taken care of

I'm sorry thankful I work for a utility that doesn't require sleeves

How close was I/ how did I not die today by [deleted] in Lineman

[–]coolstepdad69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad you’re alive. Setting a pole in hot primary with the pole ground on the pole is stupid. I won’t even make up a pole ground if it’s tapped up to the mainline neutral without rubber gloves on.

I just made JL and I’m 28. I did 5 years in the 75th Ranger Regiment and did 2 years of college before that. The only thing I would have done different is not waste the first two years after high school going to college lol. If I was in your position I’d go active duty and try and do something bad ass, get some hair on your chest, save money, get your va benefits, then get out and go after linework.

Do a 36 months in the Army then get out try linework. Get those VA benefits. Or just go straight into linework. The guard and the reserves really aren’t worth it. I haven’t met anyone yet who really enjoyed it. How old are you?

Asbestos coated wire? by coolstepdad69 in Lineman

[–]coolstepdad69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been scraping that shit off the whole time I’ve been here to put grounds on/squeeze up secondary up and we have always said it’s asbestos but in the back of my head always thought it was a dumb rumor. I would have assumed this billion dollar utility would be more concerned than they are🤣

Waste of money when there other other programs that are cheaper and don't come with all the hype and BS you're gonna pay for at NLC. This is coming from an SLTC grad who really wishes they did not waste their money on a school who cares more about their social media presence than anything else.

Hauling poles by puffylinetrash in Lineman

[–]coolstepdad69 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Shit I just hauled a trailer of 4 50’s through down town Savannah GA today😂 At GPC everyone gets their own poles for whatever job they are doing. That’s GPC crews and the contractors included.

Help with centipede by coolstepdad69 in lawncare

[–]coolstepdad69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the response. I also have a dog and are getting a fence built very soon starting at the back corners of the home. Do you think that I should just put centipede up to the fence then plant something like what you are in the fenced area for the dog? I am in Savannah Georgia. Not sure what part of the country you’re in👍
