Become a LINEMAN | This might be your BEST opportunity! 

Im looking to go into it right after high school at 17, I just dont know the steps and if the salary is worth it. Any tips?

What school do you go to?

cause yall are good bootlickers and ass kissers lmao

It is because we respect you guys. We truly value you. Lineman make sacrifces, but not to the extent of the trauma our veterans take on. Best of luck, I have worked for IBEW 258 and 424, starting with another IBEW 254 in the new year. It is a rewarding trade full of great men. Good luck. If you want a good youtube channel to learn from check out bobsdecline-lineman blogger. He has alot of great videos that will help you to learn.

So stoked for YOU!

@@kobemoye6257 so excited bro!

You’ve already been interviewed and accepted? I applied back in January I’ve still yet to be interviewed for the September 2023 class?!

@@logankasee8725 yes sir I have just waiting for September

Who's SELCAT?

Is this all no union or do they help you get into the Ibew

@@linehandibew6205 I'd like to know that as well.

Do you need electrician electrical experience 1st to join here ?

@@SigifredoCoria not at NLC but lazy q I’m not sure

Update? Still planning on going to line school?

​@@jacobwurstI'm hoping to leave the office to pursue this trade!

I know it seems to good to be true but it's facts. No signed contract. You can opt out whenever you want. It's just a great opportunity for a great carrier. No BS

It’s not required for work in California. California can be hard to get into regardless of your background. Nlc isn’t really a requirement to get your foot in the door but it helps and will definitely get you ahead of the pack but it’s not cheap

Currently attending nlc and I think it’s an amazing program

They will line up a job for you after the school. But if there isnt any jobs near the location you prefer, yes relocate. Also, when you have to transition to another category during the apprenticeship, you might have to relocate for that too.

Have you found the answer for your question I’m in the same shoes as you. Thanks for everything is going well for you

Look up the Timson training unit

Everyone is different. When I started, we had the old style brown belts. No fall protection. Now i'm a certified Pole Climbing instructor. And I promise you that SuperSqueeze will NOT let you fall. Just keep your 9 and 3 o'clock spacing and trust your belt. We usually get guys up to 30 feet by end of week one. 60 feet by the end of week two. And everyone has to climb the Big Guy.... 100 foot pole to graduate. Trust the process, you'll be fine.

Unfortunately it’s only available for Americans right now

Do it in Québec it’s the Best program in the world but it’s 40 weeks

@@imeanyounerverknow4038 yessir !

Eventually they're going to have to if they don't fill the positions. USA is not just going to live without electricity!

Yes and no. You can't enter the program through VEEP if you're not a vet, but you can go through the program. In order to get into this program you first have to work for a Quanta company. Check out www.quantaservices.com for a list of companies to work for.

Roger that

@@RyanWLucaswhy is that?

@@joshp.4127 as a 1.5 apprentice for the utility in FL, The washout is due to the extremes really. It is very much a hard job, if you arent liked by people you will likely be pushed away/out as is with most blue collar jobs. You also will be put in situations you do NOT want to be in whether relationship wise with peers or actual on the job real sketch/hazardous situations. I also come from a line school and I thought I had a slight understanding of what id be getting into but the knowledge necessary is equal to that of a degree. These guys (real certified journeyman linemen) know so much its stupid. They would do everything themselves if they could. I currently have on my floor 5 books of current past and future knowledge requirements and it can be easily overwhelming if you do not have a life behind the job, or were never a good student, or maybe you have kids and are having a hard time with missing their recitals and working weekends, and having to play with them after working for 18 hours. Im not saying also that other jobs dont experience this but what I am saying is many of these lineschools or people who promote the linemen trade dont talk about this or stress these points enough. You will be teased, mocked, tested, ridiculed, judged, and have no sympathy toward you. The people that stand out are those who can continue past that. All this and its SIGNIFICANTLY better than it was 10/20/30 years ago where all this was MUCH worse with basically friends would control who gets a job and who survives.

Lineman school. I’m going from trucking to lineman school. Ain’t afraid of hard work though, grew up on a farm. If you can get into an apprenticeship with local union, great otherwise you’re looking at 15k-25k for lineman school. And either way, you start as apprenticeship and at the bottom as groundsman so the least paid. About 20-26hr

@@joshuastevens5910 i am a trucker looking at lineman apprenticeship program here at NV Energy because trucking companies pay me so horrible at year 2 doing local work. I can’t live the OTR lifestyle so I heard CDL holders have a much better opportunity to be a lineman.

@@youngsiles17 A CDL is required anyways for lineman, don’t necessarily have it easier. It’s more of a, who you know type of thing. And if go union route, better impress them journey lineman to get that golden ticket to make the big money. Just like with trucking, don’t become a lineman for the money. The industry will make or break you. That’s how trucking is, there’s regional companies(smaller) and drivers make 80k plus yearly. Traveling line workers make the best money, but you will be gone a lot.

@@youngsiles17 It also requires very strong math skills. Nevada energy partners with the Union. So, you will be on a wait list very long list til you get the call. Like I said you start as groundman which will be the least paid.

Get first aid and cpr, cdl with no restrictions, and sign the books as a groundman at a local. You don't need line school. Just learn on the job.

They’re paid like 1300 a week while attending school

6 days a week 10 hr days @ 22 an hour was the rate at one point.

Exactly 💯?

We don't need females in trade work

Perfect! I've been listening to my wife yelling at me for far too long.

@@nevinkuser9892 😂😂

The program doesn't actually require you to use your GI bill. It's 100% covered by the companies that support it.

@@RyanWLucas so it's literally just a training program for a company. FYI, best training is on the job.

@@wecx2375 It’s as close to real world training as you can get. Do some research man. It’s held at the most advanced training Center in the world. Why you so negative? I’ve personally seen it help countless vets find a very meaningful career post military. I feel like you’re just looking for an excuse to bash it even when you know nothing about it.

@@RyanWLucas I am a vet, served 1ID. And nah, I don't like companies that prey on vets for profit by creating some weird paramilitary corporation. I experienced that before in Liberty energy and others. On the job training still the best. That center is for indoctrination to be exploited.

@@wecx2375so tell us, what class did you drop out of? Or show us on the doll where the bad company touched you

Y

It's a mixed program bud. There is vet side and civilian side to it. LMFAO
