You should do a review on your bag and gear. I just applied to the IUOE apprenticeship program up in New England. I'd be interested to see what you carry and how it varies, if at all from day to day/job to job.
Never thought about that... if i do i may find things i forgot about long ago lol that may make it more exciting. I found a RU-vid video on making a net for the hard hat holder. Then i carry a clipboard Friday all my union books and miscellaneous paperwork. Ticket books for all the union shops i work with. Gloves, socks, job site safety cards... yeah i put one up lol What are you looking to get into operating?
