Thanks fella.

I had to carry 100lbs for 50 feet, I had to harness a swingarm (I think that's what it's called) up a pole, I had to lean off a pole and do everyday lineman work. I enjoyed it. I feel this stuff...

Any links to a specific apprentice program? Does anyone know of somewhere close to West Virginia.

Just thought I'd give an update.

Yesterday, I had the interview with AEP. It went good. I could tell they didn't like I did not have work experience with equipment and training on equipment, but...

If it don't happen this time I don't know what I'll do. This is my 3rd interview in 13 months and the 2nd one just this year. They recognize me by face already. I've got so many people telling me I...

I want to be a lineman, but the problem is where I live there are not a lot of jobs working with power lines. AEP is the only company around, and they usually interview about 40 people for 1...

I got called today to take the CAST test with AEP!!! The test is next week. If I pass the test, I get an interview, and if the interview goes well I go to a climbing school, probably the one in...
