To answer, how they can come across your land, whether you realized it or not when you bought your home or land you signed a contract that gives the power companies a right of easement, so if there’s a line across you property, they have right to be there in a certain range along the line, where I work it’s 20ft on each side of the pole
What about doing a pod with the other linemen. Fiber optic lineman, the ones who allow this podcast to be seen by so many, most electrical lineeman dont think of us as lineman. I would like to debate this. Plus us contractors make 5x there salary. Just saying
I’m wanting to go into the lineman field but am unaware of fiber optic lineman, not to offend you but they seem like a ground man type which is different from being a lineman up in the air. Also contractors usually make more than field workers
We’re not opposed to that at all. Either a debate or just a full episode on the differences would be really interesting. Shoot us an email ontapwiththeboiz@gmail.com if you’re interested in coming on!
@@RobertoMartinez-pj5ep "5x their salary" is the most absurd thing I've ever heard. We aren't salaried first off. 2nd, you'd have to be making over a million a year to be 5x most contractor linemens income. Even a lot of your local utilities up north, their guys make approx. 120-200k depending on their OT/on call system.
@@sidithian2012up in Michigani know if you work straight 40s week your bring home about 120K maybe a little more. But most guys in Local 17 bring around 200K mark but it isn’t rare to see a guy pulling 300K-400K but they take everything and rarely home so there’s the trade off.
Mitchy, co-ops like ECE are member owned companies, essentially everyone who has that electric service is a “part owner” 😊
Your podcast is awesome

My initial reaction is that this is the case, but is that information conveyed to land buyers before closing?
@@kotapkfr If you get a survey or look at an old survey. If you have powerlines you land, assume you have an easment.
