This was a neat video, the apprenticeship over there looks like fun.

My son is a lineman bern in trade 25 years joined the ibew in 2003 been a contrator his whole career so far distribution and does some transmission work

Thank you for making this video. I enjoyed it very much!

In the US, I went to a two year linesman college, graduated in 2021, & got a cdl recently. Hoping to get an interview soon. Hard to get in for some reason. A lot of nepotism over here unfortunately.

I’m actually about to start school for this

As an electrician of 40 years experience…………..Safety……..’ Assumption is the mother of all fuckups ‘….😉

Thanks for pointing this out Keith. The video is a few years old and we have since updated our safety policy to ensure safety glasses are worn when we are working on or next to the network. We'll be updating our video to reflect this.

Because applying earth is still a part or isolation procedure. Someone doesn't read the regs.
