I thought there was a shortage of lineman? Why can it be difficult to find an apprenticeship

[@frankthetank3083]

i recently got my cdl and signed my local books, cant wait to join!

[@javiersantos201]

Is it true that you have to learn manual or can you have an automatic restriction?

[@frankthetank3083]

@@javiersantos201 as far as i know it depends on what jatc your local is under. in missouri valley jatc you need to manual endorsement to make it into the apprenticeship program but you can work as a groundman with jsut an automatic restiction

I graduated from line school. I am still searching for an apprenticeship. One thing to do is to not give up the search.

[@paullewis3345]

No sir... I start cal nev on Monday after 3.5 years of being a ground man here for the 1245. No line school though so maybe ull get in quicker than I.

[@JasonSmith-nw3rz]

I'm with 1245 right now, but live in SoCal. I would like to work closer to home until I get into SCE. Is there a lot of work for groundman at 47 on book 1? I almost have my 2000 hours at 1245, and want to switch to 47 but don't know how consistent the work is at 47. Can anyone lend any insight as to the work available at 47 to Groundman on book 1?

[@mistymountainflop]

I just started this research and I just missed April applications. How many times per year do they open?

[@gavinhimebauch2054]

Pretty sure only once a year for CalNev

[@SPACE_CHUCK_NORRIS]

Do you really need to be great at algebra?

[@apotbos]

No

[@Ramirez.r]

I’m going to NLC, august 8th. Def interested in CalNev once I get out. Does anyone know what time of year they accept applications? How many times a year?

[@djrequest333]

Once a year at the start of April

[@sambarron3657]

Don forgets to mention that when you sign it is a 15k contract to stay on the outside. And it builds interest until you top out which it comes to 22k you will owe them when you are finished so its a lie that its all free. Plus they don't give a fuck about their apprentices at all. He is totally lying to these people about a lot of this shit he says.
