Along with other just general knowleadge. Does the guide book for cable man and lineman have this type of knowledge in it. Or will it just take time and experiance.
Lineman and Cablemans Handbook. New edition was due out on March 1st. Every linehand should have one and I hear the new edition is top of the line. Also take a specbook home from whatever utility you are working for, at least that's a start. I take it that you are working for a company that doesn't have an apprenticeship program? One bit of advice, if you don't know ask and use your PPE. When this shit bites it bites hard and doesn't give many second chances. Good Luck and the IBEW door is always open.
