    I understand what you are saying. Over the years, if I remember correctly, I've had two of these types. Both had gone thru a line school. Both of them thought they were a lineman right out of school...

    Over the last couple years, I've read a lot of posts similar to this one. It's always about an older lineman complaining about the younger lineman or apprentices not knowing things. Well, the way I...

    This show sucks. If I did line work in Alaska, I'd be embarrassed. I have a feeling line work in Alaska is in for a change in the near future.

    I don't feel there is only one way to plumb a pole and I certainly do not always plumb it in line with the boom. Where I work, moving the butt so its in line where you think it should be is not an...

    These companies need to start asking themselves how much money has a safety man or safety deparent ever made for them. Zero dollars. Then ask how much the line crews have made for them. Safety...

    You're probably correct. We just didn't have any 2 str sleeves. I even peeled back the tape off an existing sleeve to read what it said. Not one word was printed on that sleeve.

    I always look things over when I go on storm or work in a new area. Been on storm out East six times and haven't come across different sized legs on open wire. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, just...

    When it comes to open wire, I prefer to cut it down. But, when that's not an option, I like it when the neutral is in the middle. I've worked all different size open wire and I've never come across...

    Security has nothing to do with it. They don't want you bringing in your own food and drinks. It's just easier/convenient for them to use the security card. For the life of me, I can't understand why...
