Re:Whatever happened to line dogs??



>Been married to the same linedog for 18 years. Have seen alot but am now wondering if there is anyone that actually HOOKS a pole anymore?? The ol'man is now a super and can't find one single lineman that will work anything but a bucket. Just wondering if they still exist or are the old linemen extinct ?

>We're still here. But, your right cable construction is in a sorry state. If you can find a person to climb, they don't have pride in there work anymore. I'm working in West Virginia right now and its a wide spread problem here. We have entire crews of retro splicers working off of ladders.What the hell is that all about! I could go on about this subject for ever. I just wanted to say, YES THERE IS STILL A FEW OF US STILL OUT HERE.
