Call 1249, they'll tell you what you need.......
Hi i am looking to become a lineman and don't really know the best way to start. I live in northern NY and as far as I can tell there are no lineman school anywhere near here. Is lineman school necessary to get in to the 1249? Without schooling do you have to wait to get called a long time normally? Any help is appreciated thanks.

yes call 1249. No the lineman school isnt needed, a lot have told me itd be a waste of money. I applied to several locals in the albat jurisdiction and even a few outside of it. Dont be afraid to apply to any and all available to you to increase your odds. I have no prior experience and scored pretty well in my interviews. Get your cdl a and get on lots of groundman books. Be patient it can take awile.
