I’m 72 now retired I did it for 32 years and watching this brought back many memories . I wish them all the best. He’s right , 100 percent. God please keep them all safe .
That's awesome man. We'll try to do more like this one. Let us know if there's anything else you'd like to see on our channel. Hope to see you here in a few years!
@@EliteLinemanTrainingInstitute yeah my papaw worked for my county utilities for 38 years and from hearing stories from him. I am planning on being a linemen one day, and i know there is much more to it than that. I got a job shadowing day at my school and i went to our utilities. I loved it and got to some hands on things. I changed out a fake switch and stuff like that. Thank you for responding to me. and have a great day
My question here is, and I'm sure I'm going to find out soon after I apply for a school, but is there a specific reason why a lineman must physically climb a pole or no? What I've been doing for the past 2 years now is traffic control for a company. I create the workzones like flagging and lane closures for when lineman crews or other types of crews need to be in the road to work. Whenever I'm working with a power crew, I've only ever seen them physically climb the pole only a handful of times if that much. Most just go up in the bucket, but I do remember one time seeing a lineman try to climb the pole and he fell but he caught himself.
It's important to know how to climb because sometimes linemen don't have a choice. You could be somewhere where you couldn't get the truck to the pole and you would have to be able to climb to do the job. Sometimes you might climb with the truck there, but regardless the reason we train climbing is because you have to be able to do it if it's needed, regardless of how often it's done in the industry today.
What if I’m 6’7 does height matter? Also I’m going to be 35 in a few months and kind of out of shape haven’t hit the gym in a while but I’m not overweight I’m 220lbs. Is it too late for me to get into this?

I’m 42 and considering getting out of my truck to go to lineman school
Can you give more information about the test? If you fail will you not be able to train
Which test, the exam they take at the beginning of the video?
@EliteLinemanTrainingInstitute yea
Britt’s knees were way too close to the pole, he’s gotta kick them out so he doesn’t scratch or cut out. The one step is smooth though

What is your schedule?
The schedule of the school is here: elitelineman.com/lineman-class-calendar/
is 24 too old to start
Absolutely not!
How fit does one have to be cause that climbing seem like it would kill your legs O.o?
Really, cardio is the main thing you need when climbing a ton, but just climbing in general, most people have the leg strength to get up the pole.
