Bren I havent seen a pay scale in a few years but a lineman at the top of his grade is just above $30 per hour. I wouldn't know what the per deim is now I do hear of guys working enough OT to clear 6 digits in a year. This is all based on cost of living in different areas also. Some places you can make less and live better, and other places you make more and barely get by after taxes and cost of living.
Your in the ball park.
