Hey bud if you can,try to work with Kevin Settle,he will teach you a heap about the trade.I cant remember when he topped out but he still remembers what its like to learn.I was a lineman for him around Potosi,MO.a couple years ago.He is good people no matter where your from.I havent worked there since early 05 so really dont know his status.I really enjoyed my stay in MO. and think local 2 will give you a well rounded apprenticeship.Good luck and for God sakes listen and do the right thing
HillBilly - thanks! Glad to hear Local @ has a good rep for getting good experience. Your adivise is not falling on deaf ears (although my former lineman Dad has made sure they are big enough by yankin on em!)
