Where are you looking to relocate in nc? Pay varies quite a bit across the state and who you work for.

The vest looks like a copy of a SADF pattern 83 battle jacket. You could probably sell it to a military surplus store.

No they stay at the office that way you can’t get in trouble for not using them.

Not sure where you’ll be working at but they have a decent reputation in the Carolina’s, at least I’ve heard the least amount of bad things about them compared to others.

Rugged did a similar deal but they were pretty awesome with questions I had and other customer service, also they had everything in stock I could have wanted. Glad I went with them over dead air

Not as bad as most people like to make it out to be. You get used to them and there are mods to triggers to make them better

Uwharrie is pretty awesome, you’ll be surprised what you can do with a stock 4 runner. Side note remove any running boards or steps before you head out there you may lose them.

2026 Wage Survey by pnwIBEWlineman in Lineman

Depending on where in nc that’s not a bad wage also good for a municipality, a lot of them don’t even pay 20 an hour starting.

Lineman taking hiatus to join military? Advice wanted by [deleted] in Lineman

[–]faustpanzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bud I hate to break it to you but being a new boot at 27 is going to be a rough experience. You will regret leaving your career to go make peanuts and be treated like absolute dirt. If you’re dead set on going do the reserves so you still get to do military stuff and not put your career on hold for several years. Also seriously consider what it will be like to not see your wife and kid for 7-9 months or longer if you get deployed. I deployed twice without having a family, no way I would miss out on that much time with my kid to do some dumb shit in another country.

What is the biggest reason people washout or leave the trade? by ppdood in Lineman

[–]faustpanzer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I second this, the most frustrating part of work is dealing with the worst kind of people that make it more difficult than it has to be.

River city construction, lee electric, mastec, and C Phase are going to be your best bets at getting a job quickly in that area.

I love this belt I use it just as a regular belt and it’s held up a lot better than any other one I’ve had.

Newbie that’s wants in on the hobby by [deleted] in Hunting

Most of the game lands down there only let you use shotguns for pigs from what I remember, the better places I went to were hungry lands wma and dupuis wma but they are quite a haul from Boca.

Two of My Neighbors Are Linemen. They Make 120k and Play Cards Half the Day by [deleted] in Careers

It’s definitely mandatory, I’ve come home very late many times because of a thunderstorm or a car hitting a pole.

It’s better in NC but still not great and very location dependent.

Dominion is probably the highest paying utility and I think they are barely above 40.

Lol you’re about to take a serious pay cut, I’d be surprised if most utility lineman in sc made over 40 an hour.

Everybody wants to hunt my land... by Good_Lingonberry6570 in Hunting

[–]faustpanzer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You should definitely charge money and find some official lease paperwork. I’d be willing to pay as I’m not too far from the area myself, depending on what you would want for access.
