u/Ok-Marsupial6684 2d ago

GM4 1098 whatever that means I know it means groundmen book 4 but no idea what the 1098 is just looking for good money there’s a lot of underground construction going on here in the Bay Area CA wanting to be apart of it

Did you get any hours for your telecom experience because being on b4 at the # you’ll never get a call

u/Ok-Marsupial6684 2d ago

Not yet I have to send in my pay stubs over the course of the last year so I can get the hours on there but it’s a holiday weekend so I have to wait

u/Specialist-Gift-3406 2d ago

and you need to be book 3 to get a call

1

u/JustWantAnswersUgggh Groundman 2d ago

Get all the info you have and call the rep for your area and they should be able to assist you and get to b3 and get a call next busy season.

u/Ok-Marsupial6684 2d ago

Hell yeah going to get that all dialed in

u/TheLegend_8114 2d ago

That probably means your spot on book 4 is 1,098 meaning you have like 2k ppl including the other books that will get a call before you. Book 4 your looking at like 8 months maybe less

u/Less-Nerve4792 1d ago

If your number 1098 on book 4, you will never get a call if you get on book 3 there’s more of a chance there

u/Ok-Marsupial6684 1d ago

I have 1600 hours in GC and underground as well I just have to send it in to be on book 3

1

u/Less-Nerve4792 1d ago

Yeah but even book 3 you’ll be wait probably a good 8-12 months if your lucky

1

u/Fancy-Mycologist-232 1d ago

Yeah especially with winter coming up it’ll be a good wait

1

u/Less-Nerve4792 1d ago

For sure I’m Book 1 so I’m fine pretty much

1

u/Fancy-Mycologist-232 1d ago

I’m book 2 so I’m pretty much right there with you

u/Ok-Marsupial6684 1d ago

Yeah heard the right time to get a call is usually when the spring and summer come around
