GFs handed you a W2. Took ten minutes and you went to work.
Now I am watching 4 hours of videos, taking tests, filling out three inches of paperwork. Signing the back pages of safety book pages,...
I don't think I am the best. I have seen a lot better. But the guy always not doing something jumps on top of a digger. And you look up and you say oh shit. Been there a 1000 times.
Dont...
You know when you are in a corridor and everything bites you. Do you guys have anything or any device that tells you that you need to add more grounds when the induction is really bad. Those times...
Then check out Mastech compared to any other electrical contractor and utility and you might say that number is not far from the truth.
You get the weather from the lakes. You might have a week of 5 2s in March. January and February it's so cold your boogers freeze. Just wait ten seconds and the weather changes. Michigan is nuts!
Scour through the OSHA incidents, in the South there are a lot of deaths. It seems you are at a utility. Your fine.
But we see death posts from the South twice a week.
The Southern guys hit...
Does it really matter? We are all Americans?
We had one death in August 2014 in that was the last death I have seen in my state. In Florida I see one every two months. We get them all the notifications all the time. Whatever Mastech is or who...
Drive any vehicle you want. But if you get collective bargaining wages and not supporting collective bargaining in your purchases. You are slitting your own throat. People did that and guess what,...
If you get your none screwing others that's a problem!
The mortality of a worker in a right to work state is 48 percent higher according to the AFL CIO.
I see a lot of direct solicitation of work. Which is not allowed up North, but happens all the time.
They double book the halls. Where they are working, and wait for a call to get in a better...
In the south their mortality rate is a lot higher than the North for a lineman. But these super huge companies want southerners in the foreman and GF ranks in their companies? And they preach safety....
I am not saying that young guys aren't sharp. I have seen the best young hands running crews. Incredibly sharp men taught by some incredibly gifted lineman. Then you go to a real bad operation of no...
Seen a thousand techniques. After snow and rain of the winter my kleins got stiff.
I tried a bunch of ways. But here is my best.
drop them on the floor. Oil them and keep dropping on a concrete...
i understand all of this. So many guys are done with this trade. They want out so bad. Sad thing is there are a lot of superiorly smart guys run by idiot dum management. Every year gets worse and...
Had a safety guy. Said he is firing everyone if they use a cell phone. The company provided no radios. The only means of coordinating trucks and manpower were through our phones. The GFs, foreman...
seen a pole with 14 services on it. You control your tails better on secondary, and even the primary. Shoes are easy too.
As far as batteries went two months without recharging.
You can park you cinch strap and free climb. I free climb. When the safety guy comes by put the yellow strap around the pole. Also when you have so much hardware below where you can't fall, you can...
Usually the more expensive ones stink, too heavy. Everyone has Elk River but they got them from other companies. The companies give you junk because they know everyone is going home with them.

A guy too young and a 60 year old that likes to talk to whores from 3rd world countries. It wasn't him probably. He probably stays off Facebook for the thumbs down.
but why would the government...
Yes I get that. But why on a wye wye?
And what kind of situation would you need a floating nuetral primary bus for a bank?
My favorite thing ever said thank you!
Just like working in the rain. If the contractor says you have to put that dumb thing on, for all your dangerous work! The locals should ask for double time for wearing that thing. Double time...
