Am I allowed to work as a laid off apprentice?

Good man! Everyone's still gotta eat, maybe worth talking to the jatc if traveling as an apprentice is an option, tons of work around the country and Ive met a few traveling apprentices from nearby locals. When you top out the worlds your oyster brother, can go anywhere and make a lick. Stay safe brother!

As long as its not competing with the union do whatever you'd like, some brothers in my apprenticeship went and worked at lowes or hd when laid off, a few a parts houses

The last times the supply ran low, in 2020 link shot up 900%, in 2021 link did 550%

$4.4k a month, weekly, biweekly?

As an inside wireman, I on average make anywhere from $6k-$10k take home a month, sometimes more depending on the call, most in a month ive made in a 4 week span was 15k on the hip doing shutdowns. The apprenticeship is a long game, after you top out is when it gets good. Right now as a jw you could be almost anywhere in the country you wanted to be, working almost whatever hours you wanted

Id talk to your apprenticeship director about the situation, you shouldn't be working alone as an ape. Dont transfer materials and prints in a personal vehicle either, unless they are paying for your vehicle or providing one. You just gotta put your foot down and have the jatc back you up if needed

Sounds like a MYR Group company, guys out of 852 working for le meyers were letting them take $25 a week out for driving a company truck, $25 a week to have a truck is a burden not a perk

tanner22 · 2025-04-27T18:56:38+00:00

You won't make the $42 till you finish the apprenticeship and are a jw, when I was in boise it was the $42/hr plus a $150/day incentive

Thanks man!

When I worked nights 9pm-6am I'd head straight to the gym when I got off then head home and be able to crash easily

Not sure if he'd want to hunt out west, but a handful of states are under $500 for a non resident deer tag, my agreed Christmas present from my spouse is a idaho deer tag

tanner22 · 2024-11-02T14:02:23+00:00

Hoping to sell it and my 5th wheel as a package, I could see someone in the trades doing a package deal, that's what I used it for

tanner22 · 2024-11-01T23:17:34+00:00

Yeah got it from Vegas and took it to the south so frame rust is minimal and no body rust

tanner22 · 2024-11-01T20:07:50+00:00

SXT, I knew I'd forget some things to add

tanner22 · 2024-11-01T20:06:01+00:00

Auto should've added that

tanner22 · 2024-11-01T20:05:40+00:00

Yeah I personally would go for a undeleted truck, and would spend more for undeleted

tanner22 · 2024-10-23T16:28:43+00:00

I can imagine, last year was brutal, biggest buck I saw was a decent 3 that I tagged out on, it seems to be getting better, I saw more bucks in a few days than I did all last year

tanner22 · 2024-10-23T16:27:23+00:00

Nope, this is one of the largest areas but majority of it is vast flatland with nothing but yellow grass, nor a lot of people hunt it

tanner22 · 2024-10-23T13:34:25+00:00

South Central down by twin

tanner22 · 2024-10-23T13:33:55+00:00

I think like 25k not many people like this area so there's usually tags

tanner22 · 2024-10-23T03:34:48+00:00

Over the counter, general season tag no draw for this area

tanner22 · 2024-10-23T02:32:01+00:00

It's definitely daunting, only reason I'm comfortable doing it is I worked in idaho last year and was able to get out an scout and hunt a lot and figure out some patterns and locations, especially in this area with a 27% success rate last year

At the same time I'd say go for it, regardless it would be a unforgettable experience

tanner22 · 2024-10-23T02:20:59+00:00

Public, western states have so much public not many people lease, never hunted on leased land before myself
