After Helene came our area and were without power from September the 27th to October the 3rd would back on the night of the 30th but trees fell one fell on other end of our street it damaged the underground line and blew the transformer in our neighborhood so half our neighbors had power and we did not we are possibly looking at generator depending on the cost

The acting in this video is phenomenal. 😂😂😂

Takes a special breed to do this...BTW I've never witnessed someone eat a cup cake with a fork before in my 30 years of life

call 911 for down lines not utility center

This motherfucker has been Hollywood for the past 7 years at work now.

What a sweet family! Super appreciate you guys, it is not an easy life at all.

Bucket babies... Bucket babies everywhere.

Wow!

These are their stories

Amazing video, but who eats a cupcake with a fork?

WTF should of told them it's your kids birthday and you will get the call first thing in the morning... lol

My grandson is a journeyman lineman with Toledo Edison for 5 years

Watching during the Memphis ice storm of 2022. If MLGW linked this video and showed us the process, they wouldn’t have so many angry customers. To clarify, we’re mad at the administrators, not the linemen. We appreciate all of you.

To linemen and their company crews, everywhere.... Thank you for your dutiful compromises, risks, sacrifices, and service!👍 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏼Stay safe out there brothers and sisters, in this line of work, We will praying for you all!🙏🙏🏻🙏🏿

funny the power is out but you can use a cordlesss phone also the gas station sign still lit, but i understand its only a simulation but hey for what its worth we in ohio appreciate our lineman at least i do

I missed 42 years of birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Thanksgivings, kids ball games, camping trips, fishing trips, the list goes on and on not to mention 3 marriages. The commitments of this trade takes it's toll.

I know the feeling brothers 23 years and I have been called out on Christmas Eve 15 years of them.

Damn. Hot wife. ....what time does Daddy come home again? 🤔

Hi there i am lineman. I work for a peruvian eléctrical company. This is my story. Twice a month i Have maintenemt outage . we call it here in lima-peru "Maniobra". We changed transformers, overhear cables, concret frames, etc. I feel so exciting when everything is ok . people thank us so much.

The unsung heroes! Working whenever it is required!

3:28 and cordless phone wouldn't work with the power out...so fake!!!! hahaha

Good thing you’re linemen and not actors. And who eats a cupcake with a fork LOL.

My dad was a linemen and had the same boots

What are those green things on the lugs of their wheels I saw them on a garbage truck the other day but have no clue what they are

Belo video. Bela Profissão.

This video has taught me: 1) Service disruptions to gas stations affect their lights but not their electronic pricing signage. 2) The electric company doesn't proactively investigate outages until people call in about them; even when their own employees experience a service interruption during a special event. 3) The electric company has no shame in blaming nature/storms for outages, rather than a lack of redundancies. 4) Electric companies always employ really bad actors. 5) As with most things, the entire operation is really being run by a woman with a floral print shirt on that's working longer shifts than anyone else involved. 6) Rural Pennsylvania doesn't have any kind of computerized field operations, but they do have really clear radios in their vehicles.

Thank you for all lineman. Really thank you.

Great video. I have always respected what they do but never knew what all it takes to get there.

the gas station has a standby generator because I google-searched the restaurant and look on google street view you can see the generator

This is really bad lmao filming sucks the actors lol oh boy stuck to your day jobs

As a 30 years plus lineman I can relate to missing many holidays and family functions in the course of doing my work,fortunately I have a loving wife and children who understand my role in helping people who are without power. Lineman and their families are truly special people.

You’re all fired. There’s no way a pole in the middle of nowhere took the entire night.

I like the over night calls overtime pay 💰 is good 90 dollars p/h

Why do all the white people in Pennsylvania have blue eyes, poor acting skills and talk slow as fu k?

Shout out to all the lineman and crews! Friends and Family of mine are utility workers. People remember with Smart Meters you don't even need to call in an outage hardly anymore, leave that for emergency calls for people with medical needs and or equipment such as oxygen concentrators Etc. They will know when the supply gets cut from the meter. And remember cordless phones will not work without AC unless attached to UPS. Always have at least one corded phone hardwired to a jack because the phone company will have battery standby or diesel and still work! At 5:40, shout out to the farmer with the Deutz-Allis! Air-cooled inline 6 diesel probably one of the coolest tractors ever made! (She's an old girl but run forever, keep that fan clean!!)

didnt know i was about to watch high school drama class failures. click bait and reported

Great public service announcement!

This was better acting than on a lot of tv shows and movies today...lol

Wow this was really awesome thank you so much for putting this together.

This is the corniest thing i have ever seen

Dude has it made. He'll retire with 2 million and other than that, his bank account will have probably grown to over a million. Power companies sure do have their choice of guys, as everyone wants to get into it. No school, just straight hired at about 18 dollars an hour and all the overtime you can dream of. Your weekley bring home will be fucking 1500 dollars. I make that in a fucking month, I could just never get the right opportunity to get into power. I couldn't find anyone who'd help me get a CDL to get in the door. I was going to SLTC in Georgia, but my boss fired me at the HVAC company and I had to spend the 10 grand for the school on living. These guys don't know how lucky they are that they fall into these power jobs. They better thank their fucking God, cuz I never fell into it. I fell into communications linework. I was one of those dudes a job always found me. I started at Bell Atlantic, then I knew someone who worked for a communications contractor. I applied at CW Wright, a power contractor but God damn I got the jist when I went in to fill out the application and check on it, "we don't have the work". Only contractor around. Sucks. I like linework. I do. It's a challenge. Plus power pays well. Fuck, I could have actually had a life if CW Wright hired me. They gotta pay 25 an hour.

Video is gayer than cum on a mustache... Took you all night to change out a pole? No outrigger pads? Operate one control at a time on the rbd? Just cause you told buddy your grounded he's gonna take your word for it? You eat a cupcake with a god dang fork. You can't be trusted...

Nice trouble truck..Wish we could get dodges here...

Who eats a cupcake with a fork?

This remind me of my self always on the go trying our best to keep the power on the life of a linesman. #GUYANAPOWER&LIGHT. GPL. From Georgetown Guyana South America

Great video.

The response time is hell. Took them 5 hours to get more crew to help them.

The resteraunt has no power but the gas station sign managed to stay on logic think

Can’t get over him putting the wheel chock on the back of his tire at home I’m sure he’s parked in a slope facing down hahahahaha damn lineman!

Jw im 3:38 into video anyone notice the phone wasnt on
