Re: Seeking advice from real lineman....


First you dont have to worry about a ladder anymore because if you need it then you shoudnt attempt line work.
2nd.If you have a wife trade her in for a good set of hooks (gaffs)because lord only knows you will spend more time with them than her plus your hooks will make you money instead of spending it.
3rd and formost any fear of hights and you need to dump them quicker than your ex
4th if you cant hook poles from sun up to sun down then you are realy screwed because in 18 years i have hooked 75%of all my runs and the other 25%has been bucketable.
5th the most important thing of all if you dont do drugs you cant be a lineman because thats one of the most required thing of all(smokin)
Just joking about #5 but 1 thu 4 is the truth anymore questions feel free to email me take it easy from your friendly neighborhood lineman(snipper)
> I'm seeking some advice from some veteran lineman. I've been installing and burying drops for about 4 years. I'm interested in going back to college for utility line for a couple of years. My only big concern is that my body doesn't know what it's in for. Just how hard is the lineman occupation on the body. I'm in my early 20's and can already feel the effects of tugging a 28' ladder around all day. I just don't want to feel 60 when I'm 30. What kind of a toll does it take on the body. Also, about how long does it take before one can move up to a supervisory position generally? Thanks alot for the feedback to any who reply.(confused)
