I went to work for CP&L in 1978 in the line crew. 2 months later all of us new hires went to lineman training school. No Bucksqueeze and greasy old creosote poles! Thank you, Mr. Grady Creech and Mr. Tom Daniels for being great teachers! 3 decades as a lineman and never fell off one because I was taught well. I've been retired 18 months....but I will ALWAYS be a lineman. Gentlemen, be safe, look out for your buddies and learn how to say thank you instead of getting mad if someone tells you "Don't do that". Enjoy your time guys....it goes by faster than you think. JDW
I have been a lineman since 87 (dam im old 😳 ) I was in IBEW class of 10/87 and there have been major improvements in climbing safety gear... What an advancement. Good instructors and line school.
A lineman for 38 years , 65-99 , instructor was crew members and Forman, no bucksqueeze , good job , learn all you can and be safe ...watchout for your budfy ...
The drone shop of all of the guys climbing was really cool. It is great to see how they progress as time goes on and the climbing gets smoother and smoother. Great video, thanks.
It’s good to not rush these things. Being a lineworker is potentially very dangerous for a careless or poorly trained individual. You want to be trained very well. 4 months ain’t that long of training at all for a career. It takes doctors 10-15yrs and you have the potential to make that kinda money or more in prolly just 3-4. Not long at all
