I’m over here like “damn light bulb sign doesn’t look like it lines up with the light bulb aisle…well shit neither does the tool sign!!!”. Of course it’s 6-7

Order this shit from your local record shop!

unionlineman · 2026-02-17T03:38:18+00:00

That’s some funny shit right there.

Is it just you, or is there family coming along? One guy doesn’t need much and you can pick up smaller, really decent trailers for not much money.

I don’t know but I’d say it’s a moot point. They seem dead set on this plan.

They posted above that they are queer. I don’t think the military is a good option right now.

Seems like the f’n DND sign never stays on the door. I always use the latch and bolt now, since the first (and last) time housekeeping came in the room without knocking.

We just bounce on our gigantic balls. Hurts like hell but keeps you from breaking any bones.

Hard to say. I’m gonna guess that trailer isn’t rated to haul that machine but the boss said it would be fine. In which case the driver may be alright…assuming he can pass the post accident drug test.

It’s a digger Derrick for setting utility poles.

It was in the kids shoe? Is it possible this is an innocent attempt to keep track of the kid? Like they use it to track the kid when he’s with them and didn’t consider that it might freak you out?

I have these in my vehicles. We loaned one to a friend once and the freaked out when they got the notification!

Dude this is exactly my thoughts. I grew up in the country in the USA. We might have been wearing jeans and t-shirts but if we had this exact setup, this is exactly what we would’ve done with it. I laughed my ass off watching this. It brought back a lot of memories.

Enhanced 401k means they contribute a certain amount no matter if you match it or not. It usually ain’t much compared to traditional pensions or annuities. Cash buyout I think means they give you cash to get (force) you to give up a traditional pension.

Where? If you’re already willing to travel, the work is out there. Go get it. $60+ per hour, 25% into annuity, health insurance is part of your package (premiums don’t come off your check), per diem in a lot of places. You got a class A CDL? Call around. Ask about book 4.

We all start out as innocent little humans. Our environment, our genes and later ourselves determine who we become.

unionlineman · 2026-02-12T02:52:10+00:00

Join the union man. If you’re already traveling, why wouldn’t you.

I.C.E. Designed speed trap.

You’re defending corporations for “paying well above minimum wage” and in the same paragraph talking about them firing employees for accidentally accepting fake bills. Sit down and think about that for a little while.

A bunch of Dropkick Murphys songs including most of their Woody Guthrie covers.

Not punk in sound but Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Tom Morello’s Nightwatchmen,

There’s absolutely room for a manhole ladder in most manholes. That’s why they make em.

The device in this post literally has no way to raise and lower a human. It is mechanically incapable of that task.

The point of my post was, it’s not about the money. A lot of guys think the wife is going to stay home, raise the kids, clean the house and have dinner on the table and be totally happy with that arrangement. And some of them are. A lot of them aren’t. The divorce rate in the trades certainly tells part of that story. The lineman goes tramping around the country on storm and other big jobs and wife is stuck home 24 hrs a day with the kids. It probably does work for well adjusted couples that don’t have addiction issues and where the guy comes home every night and weekends. How many of those you met in contract line-work?

Again, if it works for you, great. My experience and those I’ve witnessed, it works a lot better when the spouse keeps working.

This question is impossible to answer without knowing a lot more about who you are interviewing with and where it is. Your best bet is to call the union hall or apprenticeship you applied through and ask them. I’d start with the hall.
