Oh man T-man, I forgot about those. In the inner city we have a lot of buslines that run in the back yards and go along the backs of every house. I've had a lot of tree limbs break off and lay on the...

It's funny but it seems like if the tree comes in contact with any wire, it automatically is then owned by the utility. I once trimmed some branches away from a customer's service. Since we do not...

Many years ago we used to "share" Trouble trucks. But it was really never more than 2-3 guys sharing 1 truck. But we used to have 14 Troublemen in our district. Since all of the cut-backs in the late...

Same here. All of the hospitals in this area have dual, sometimes triple feeds. Always take the time to troubleshoot it as much as possible. If I know the hospital has transfered, I'll try and...

We had one that was around from the 50's as well. It was kinda in a rural area when it was built, but then the area took off with high priced estates and larger homes. 34kv/12kv. It just got replaced...

Hey Rep. I carry one for 7.2 and one for 14.4. I used to use it for testing a piece of URD cable that may be faulted using the Hastings DC Hipot adaptor on my phasing set. Since we got the radar unit...

We use Q fuses in one of our more rural service territories. They use them on the 34 Kv URD and I think some transformers. We also use them on our 34 Kv Cap Banks. You're right about the weight....

Well if I call you for help, we'll flip the coin for who does the work!!

I Like the way you think Reppy. However, if I'm on the job and ask for help, I insist I do the work even if I'm the oldest one on the job. Climb or bucket work. I tell them I didn't call you to...

Like most T-men I keep older style parts to things on my truck. It allowed me to get people back on when the crews may not be available to replace them. I also got flack for cutting a crew out of OT...

I hear ya Poont. When I first started the T-men were like Gods. No one messed with those guys. And when a T-man job opened up, it rarely went past the most senior Lineman. But these days, with the...

Just saw that Duquesne was posting for Troublemen jobs. I know they have posted here before for the same position. Usually Troublemen come from the Line gangs. It just makes more sense that way since...
