Lineman training crew

Big thanks to all these guys agreeing to be interviewed and share their experiences and growth into becoming linemen.

Hey Everyone! Had a great opportunity to chat with some Lineman that are fresh into the trade! (3 months) A great topic that came up, and seems to be consistent with nearly every lineman I talk to - Working at heights... While you might not have a fear of heights, working off hooks is a whole new experience! It takes practice and trust in your equipment! Cheers all! Have a great weekend!👊🍻

It’s Not for Everyone but Thank GOD for ALL of you who Perform Safely day in and day out to Provide us the Electricity we Enjoy in our Lives. Great video, Bob👍🙏

Nice of you to interview and answer questions with the trainees. You have the qualities of a caring and understanding teacher. I hope that you will continue to pass on the knowledge and expertise you have accumulated in your 20+ years on the job.

I was an industrial journeyman electrician and helped build a few large substations for chemical plants. I love working at heights there is a sense of freedom you can't get when on the ground. I also had some pole climbing training at one place I worked so I know how that feels at first. My wish was to become a lineman so kudos for those electricians interviewed that did make the switch. Looks like a great group! The lineman career never happened for me but I did take advantage of training offered and had a good career in industrial automation and industrial robotics.

Best wishes to all the guys . Looks like a solid bunch .

I'm not a lineman but when I framed houses it was similar with heights. A single story house with lots of interior walls and 2x6 exterior walls, no problem. Now walk out on the garage walls or do a 2 or 3 story... This was all pre fall harnesses (thank God). I remember scooting on my butt the first time I rolled garage trusses, LOL. Eventually we all get used to it but it's funny to think of how brave I was talking on the ground and how scared I was up on a wobbly wall. :)

👍👊 Seems like an excellent group. Wish them all the best. Great video Aaron. 👍

Great video- you nailed some thoughts that many prospective applicants always have, so getting some insights with those thoughts with some new hires provides excellent perspectives for those who have these questions and might be on the fence about applying- strong work, men!

Thank you for this. good insight for new Lineman

Love the east coast/French accents. What a bunch of beauties. New Brunswick is in good hands 😎

Complete side note - thanks for this channel. MAJOR thunderstorm ripping through right now and actually understand (the basics) as I see power flicker.

Great to see the brotherhood / sisters still going strong Safety for all so you can all go home 👍

Excellent video, we as workers need to reach out to new people coming up...Gives them a good feeling, and they'll remember that, like you said , one day they'll be your help out in the field. As an electrician, i mentored alot of kids coming out of high-school, they appreciate that, and remember that. As did i 25 years ago as a greenhorn in my profession....Keep it.up...Love the videos...🙂

Thanks for your video Aaron.

My grandpa did this shit back in the 60’s and 70’s before taking over system’s operator for Brazos electric co-op. Knowing him, I knew I wasn’t cut out for that shit😂

That was great. I am a electrician but did not dream of being a lineman . some of my friends did become linemen . this will be great for someone that wants to be a lineman watch this video. and the rest of videos on this channel. great info . nice to see the people that keep the lights on. I am in Boston NY and the trade is pretty much the same hear. we have been getting smoke from Canada wild fires hear. herd from some that climbing a poll can be challenge needing some kind of mask like a N95 to help breath. not so bad lately. was a few days waves of heavy smoke came threw.

Dude, that was awesome! And I really like the fellow with the French accent (I couldn't understand his name on my phone). There's a technical college about 2 miles from my house, and they a set of training poles. It's pretty cool to drive by and see a dozen students practicing their climbing. There's also some non-energized transformers on several of the poles. I imagine they're practicing climbing around them, and maybe attaching and detaching wires and other equipment, although I've not seen them doing that.

I wish I had done this out of high school. But my parents made me go to community college for electrical engineering

Really cool man!
