Tricks of the Trade

[Lead Lineman TX, LA]

For you newbies,
Work a steady pace so you can last the day in hot weather or cold, don't burn yourself out just to show off skilled speed.
I once had to continue working for 36 hrs. straight thru due to a bad storm that rolled in during normal working hours.
Never go to work without proper sleep as you might get hit with a very long work cycle without rest. I had only gotten
in around 4.5 hrs. prior. Slept solid.. for 15 ish hours when I got home, didn't even wake up to wizz.
Make sure you take more food then you need for the day if you work out in the county...long day can
have you starving with nothing to eat out in the middle of no mans land past normal hours!
