PPL is as good as any investor owned. The north west is probably one of the best places live and work. Word has it to stay away from a company called consumers power they are in Philomath Or. Word is they have two brothers from pge(ca.) that think they know everything. Any body thats every worked with refers to tham as a CANCER. Watch your back if your ever around them!!!

The only thing I know is they are a small utility, couple of years ago met a lineman who went to work there, and I remember telling me he only lasted one day.He didn't like the way the lineman work. Not very sure of their safety rules, and overtime was given by seniority, which he was not going to get any for being new, and something about their insurance and benefits, it was not as good as they said it was. Hope this helps out, and see if someone else tells you out more. I think they belong to local 459. Are you going to work for them sir? alcapite.

School/Catonary
Posted by: Proud
Catonary, I am a proud IBEW local 125 member. I have also been a JATC instructor. I have found that students graduating from a line school have a higher success rate for completing an apprenticeship program than guys hired right off the street. Right now our numbers are approximately 35% completion rate for guys off the street, 80% for guys who have completed some sort of pre apprenticeship program. Perhaps your experience with the hands you have worked with were not from a reputable school. The students we get are typically graduates of either Avista, Northwest Linemans College or VOLTA. Your statements are also not consistent with the mission of the IBEW as stated by Ed Hill in his most current web cast. The IBEW has rallied behind these schools and has started a few of their own. Currently here in Oregon we have the VOLTA program offered through the NW Line JATC IBEW. Although it is not accredited and not as well structured as some of the other ones offered, they are working in the right direction. I think this is a clear message that the IBEW is also looking at focusing attention to these types of schools. As for students graduating and going to work non-union, Bill Stone, Director of the NW Line JATC has indicated that some of his graduates are working non-union and they are encouraged to do so if they cant secure a union job due to the lack of available jobs. After reading your posts on here it is upsetting that the messages you relay are outdated and not consistent with our mission. Rather than calling them "Rats" why don't you go talk to them and encourage them on joining our proud brotherhood. When you call someone a rat, the last thing they are going to want to do is join us. I also recommend an English class to help you in your writing deficiencies. Imagine the image you are relaying on how well educated an IBEW member is. In my opinion, graduation from HS should be mandatory. Best regards,
travel requirements

I am sure you are dumber than you think. Lineman schools are an excellent way for someone interested in the trade to get a head start.

I am confident they will make better craftsman than you.

Drug Screening
Posted by: Apprlineman102
Hi I am a prospective lineman who just went for an interview for Hydro One. I recently smoked a joint(marijuana) with a friend for his bday ( just prior to recieving the interview call). Anywho I am now freaking out because I am worried that they may ask for drug screening tests. If anyone else knows what the pre-employment medical tests are like for Hydro One could they tell me. Oh ya I do not normally smoke, just a once in a while thing. Any info would be much appreciated.

Lineman boots
Posted by: Haranimal
Not necessary. Who needs to walk around with big heels that will kill your feet? Bucket or f--- it. At the very least you can get the three parts of a ladder to 99% of rear lot work. Don't be a hero for these jerk offs you work for. If absolutely necessary to climb, guess what, gaffs will even go around 1/2 inch heels. Lineboots are totally unnecessary.

Line Schools "Nothing in return"???
Posted by: MM
'Nothing in return'! That's Interesting! You seem to have first hand knowledge of line schools so I would like to know if you can share your experiences with us? Did you attend one? Are you speaking from experience? I too have experience with line schools! I went to one and then went to the Cal-Nev Line JATC for my apprenticeship. In fact they even came to my school and did recruiting, then they talked about how students who attend line schools have a MUCH better rate of getting through their apprenticeship program than those who don't. I think the numbers were something like 65% (JATC book 1-1-1 figures) will complete if they were hired off the street but 95% will complete if they went through a line school. I can tell you that going to the 'line school' has greatly excelled my career. It helped prepare me for my apprenticeship program and more. I think the JATC was good but the training I received to help prepare me for the trade through a line school was second to none. Although the AJATC boasts gaining college credits, I have yet to get them or find anyone who knows how to obtain them. I think we call that a shady area! I contacted my coordinator and business rep but they too were unaware of how to get them or which colleges honored them. I did however receive college credits through the school I went through in the form of CEU's. Don't get me wrong, I love my union and appreciate the training they provided me. But I might not have received that training if it weren't for going through the line school. I went to my local and got in contact with one of the coordinators prior to going to the school. I was treated like crap! Like I was inconveniencing them! Just a number! I eventually took the test and passed and nothing happened. I followed up on it left and right but never heard anything. Finally I just decided to go somewhere where people cared about seeing me succeed. Thus came the 'line school'! It's worked great for me! Oh, by the way! Your comment 'Go ahead and pay good money to those line colleges and then get nothing in return'. I would assume you meant all line schools right? Like the AJATC's pre-apprentice line school called VOLTA out of local 125 NW line JATC. Atleast I had a job when I got out of mine, unlike VOLTA's.

Going Union
Posted by: POWER24-7
I am a 1st Class (Journeyman) Lineman for Progress Energy Carolinas. We are a non-union workforce, but there is alot of talk about going union lately. It's not that things are that bad here, it's the little changes that keep rolling down hill that are really frustrating us. Slowly decreasing health bennifits, overtime cuts, double time cuts, and an increasing number of supervisors and less senior lineman incharge of the jobs. This is not that same place I started at 8-9 years ago. We are having a meeting next week with the IBEW and I have looked over their website as well as postings at www.powerlineman.com. We are definately ready for a change, I am not sure if Union is the answer. Looking for your experiences. Thanks, Power24/7

To Regginald01 & Kris
Posted by: drwelect
Get on the website ibew.org and find your local union hall. Contact them about getting on as a groundman and tell them of your intentions about the ap program. Hard work, getting your feeling hurt, and diligence is the key. If your not up for that, don't waste their time. But if you are ready, the pay-off will be worth the trouble. Good luck potential future brothers. Don

Have him visit the nearest union hall and look into testing out. A lot has happened in the industry in the last 20 years so he may have to take an apprentice position for a while to brush up. I have seen that work. Otherwise, he may decide to sign as a groundman. I know a couple of cases similar to yours that, that worked for those guys also and being older guys they were happy not having as much responsibility but getting better than average pay. Just some ideas. hope they helped. Good luck.
Traveling lineman, hasn't worked as a lineman for awhile
Posted by: KentuckyWoman
My husband is interested in a job as a traveling emergency lineman. He hasn't worked as a lineman for about 20 years, but was a trouble department lineman for about 9 years in the past. The placement company doesn't seem bothered by this. Here's what's really weird - LG&E has wiped out all the records in 1995 of previous employees who weren't drawing pensions - this done when the company was bought out. I've dug through some old tax forms and found W2 forms showing he worked at LG&E and the personnel people at LG&E sound like they want to help. How would my husband get certified now or how do they deal with traveling a lineman from state to state?

Thanks again john!! When i get back to the states, i'm going in "red horse" down at nellis in nevada. I'll mostly be deployed the entire time of my two years there, but they do alot of hot work so i should get alot more experience than i already have. How long did it take for your gi bill to activate? I've heard different things. If i get in with a company thats in the union, do they enroll me in apprentice training, or how does that work? This may seem like a stupid question, but i really have no idea how that whole thing works. Thanks again, Mark.

I almost forgot to tell you that if you signed up for the G.I. bill, the apprenticeship program is an approved program so you'll get a monthly check for that plus your regular pay. I got like $800 a month for like six months then $600 for a few months and then like $300 a month until I finished the program.
To Mark
Posted by: John R.
It sounds like you are getting some good experience, I was stationed at whiteman afb in missouri and it was mostly underground and i went to Saudi in 98-99 and did alot of underground also. I've worked in Caifornia which was awesome. Your are in your hooks just about every day. They rubber gove 4kv off the pole and stick 12kv and 16kv. Out of a bucket they glove 4kv and wear full sleeves and gloves on 12kv and 16kv. You can make alot of cash there, I made like 90k in six months. The downfall to CA is the cost of living. $250k would get you a little crack house in the ghetto. But the experience is awesome and you get to do storm work. We don't get that here at 769 because the utility sends their own guys to do that. While in California i talked with alot of tramps (guys who travel and do line work) and they said if you can work in California, Phoenix, and Chicago you could just about work anywhere in the U.S. and be comfortable. Don't know much about Chicago besides it gets really cold there. So I would recommend locals 1245 and 47 in California, local 769 in Phoenix, and Chicago (don't know the local). I know here in Phoenix we are working five to seven days a week. This is a stick local currently but we just went to rubber glove, so it will be a few months for all of that to go into effect. Hope this helped.
thank you john.
Posted by: Mark
Wow, thanks john. As to your question about my base, it's mostly overhead. We climb as much as we can, but it just gets to damn cold in N.D. sometimes. We do alot both new construction and maintnence work. We have 41.6 coming in and our distribution voltage is 7200/12470. As for working hot, we mostly do it, if were going to at all, with hotsticks. I've only worked hot with my gloves and sleeves a handfull of times. As for running a handline, we do, but only where we can use them. Mostly, were using a bucket truck in conjunction with a guy on hooks, so we don't need one. The knot tying, i think i'll be ok on. We have two jorneyman lineman civilians that work in our shop and they are sticklers about doing it right. Currnetly i'm stationed in Minot, N.D., but am deployed right now. I just got orders to las vegas, so when i come back from here i go there. I think i'll be finished when my tour is up though. As for your question about where i would work; i would go wherever i can get good experience, and can learn something. If you have any more advice for me as to where i should apply or who to talk to, i would appreciate it. Thanks John.
Who gives the most overtime??
Posted by: JOE
I am a lineman looking for a good amount of overtime. Dose anybody know any utilities?
To Mark in the USAF
Posted by: John R
If you want to get started with some credit for your experience I would go with a union outside line construction contractor. I know here in AZ the utilities don't give any credit toward an apprenticeship so you'd have to start out at ground zero which isn't so bad, it would just mean you'd get a good dose of transformer/electrical theory and book work in general but you would really know your stuff. As to where if you went with a contractor and say they gave you 3000 hours credit, you may not be up to speed compared to some of the other 3000 hour apprentices in the program. But that all depends on what kind of experience you've had in the AF. Is your base mainly overhead or underground? Do you do new construction or mostly maintenance? Hotstick or glove? Run a handline much? Know you basic knots (bowline, clove hitch, timber hitch, grunt knot, bowline in a bight, running bowline, grape vine)? Knowing some of this stuff will help you with you interview. I also would recommend you apply before you get out because sometimes there is up to a year waiting list to even get an apprenticeship but with some experience I think you have the uppper hand. Where are you stationed now and where do you plan go to work? Wherever you end up I would look into the local union halls for the area you plan to go to see what the job outlook is like. I know this was alot of info, hope it helped you out. I've been in the same boat you are in now but I didn't have anyone to help out. Any more questions feel free.

To Mark in the USAF
Posted by: John R
I was a lineman in the Air Force also and I'm currently a journeyman lineman out of local 769 in Phoenix. I don't recommend you take a journeyman test and try to work as a jouneyman in the civilian world. I went that route and I had a pretty rough start. In the AF you are more like an apprentice and have alot of learning to do that you don't get in the AF. Once pointed in the right direction, I got an apprenticeship and was credited 3000 hours for a 7000 hour program. That is definitely the way to go because this trade in not something you want to bs your way through and in the end you will come out a way better lineman. Any more questions just let me know. Good luck, John
To Chris
Posted by: drwelect
As a journeyman, I get on the norm 50 hours a week, 5/10's. When work slows, a third of the year, i get 40 hours a week, 4/10's. I do occasionally have to go out of town 50 to a hundred miles out for work. One or twice a year for a week to three weeks. As an apprentice, you will see similar hours regularly. However, you will be traveling some as you will be directed to work for different contractors to get experience necessary to complete your ap program. Most generally I expect you will be home more than your current 60 hour week. No guarantees though. Good luck be safe.

I have read some of your posts and I'm assuming you are in the Phoenix area..I have some questions if you don't mind. I'm currently in the process of applying for the apprentice program with Local 769..I'm waiting on paperwork from Kansas. I was just wondering, what are your average work hours per week? How much out of town work are you doing? I'm currently working for a company where it's a minimum of 60 hours a week, and weeks out of town..and I'm looking for the opposite of that. I don't mind hard work, I want a good living, but I also want time with my family. Am I in the wrong place? Also, during your apprenticeship, is the work steady? Are you able to have any medical insurance? Thanks for your time. Hopefully, a future little brother!

Get a letter of recommendation from your immediate supervisor. Take that to the local outside Line construction hall of the I.B.E.W. Sign the books as a journeyman and take the test. If you have four years as a lineman in the air force, you should have little trouble getting work. You might try phoenix, AZ., Local 769. Local 77 out of Seattle, or Local 66 out of Houston, TX, all three of these are in need of lineman. Good luck and be safe future brother in the IBEW. . . Don

Help needed. . . Apprentice. .
Posted by: drwelect
I know that as an apprentice, that daily life is frustrating. Keep heart and keep your long range goal intact. I don't know what local that your working out of but. . . I do know that as a contractor working in Phoenix, AZ. We are at basically at the mercy or whim of the utilities here as to what updates or standards changes that the utilities make as to each and every connection, pole riser or ug cabinet that we work on. Sometimes an inspector will be up to date and want things one way while another will want things done the old way as of only a quarter ago. It's possible that your hall may be seeing this same type situation, in their defense, or it may be local politics. It happens sometimes. The bottom line is that you are faced with this question, pleasing your journeyman, and trying to do the best you can and everybody knows it that you care about. So keep your chin up, complete your apprenticeship, and then travel with your JOURNEYMAN's ticket and chhose the best place for you. Good luck and play safe. . . Don

We had an insodent involving a PCB in a substation that would not open after a short on the line. This is a 4.1 kv system, with PCB breakers tha are controled by a SCADA system and SEL relays. The fault was caused by two lineman working on reinsolating a structor and getting a phase in contact with a ground. The PCB breaker was placed on non reclosing prior to the work stating. The PCB did not open and the 7.5 mg transformer fuses blew after 30 seconds. My question is what testing should we do to the PCB breakers and control equipment to find out why the PCB did not open?

Alternative Shifts
Posted by: Load Buster
I am curently working for a midwest utility that has over 450,000 customers on it's system.There is a plan by management to staff 24/7 in addition to troubleman. The proposed plan may include alternative workshifts 4/10s,2/16's & 8,etc.I know the union has fought hard for 8 hour work days but the alternative shifts seem to be attractive to the majority of lineman in our local. Is there anyone out there that has experience with alternative shifts and the pro's & con's of what this type of scheduling can create.The issues of safety, overtime availability, and non-emergency work performed after dark, are some of the issues of concern. This type of scheduling is an attempt to cutback overtime.It just seems the problems and issues that need to be addressed far out weigh the benefits.

Don't work for ComEd
Posted by: haranimal
Just to let everyone know that Comed is a terrible company to work for and if you apply for the posted job, expect intimidation and harrassment on a daily basis from your management "team". They go out of their way to break your negotiated contract daily. This means they will force you to do regular work in inclement weather despite a contractual clause, by calling it emergency work. This company will also try to hide the fact that contractors are working 58 hour weeks in your area just to avoid having to pay you OT. The Arcos callout system is flat out ridiculous. The company wants you to be ready to work and waiting by the phone without pay. They are advertising for workers because Comed employees are leaving in droves. Don't come here.
