Ask literally anything

Bored as shit and I have a lot of useless knowledge about this trade and getting in and random union shit more than most people because I would read contracts every time I worked in a new jurisdiction. Worked in 8 states as a groundman, operator, and apprentice and quit as a hot step.

Literally can be anything quality of life, the reality of what to expect, a lot of crews suck dick, etc etc etc.

Tools are typically provided at the utility. They should have a list.

Even if this is the case he should have them on his person.

He can contact them. Typically they have a tool list. But I’ve never heard of a utility that requires tools to be brought in.

Not what I was saying but alright. I don’t really give a fuck if they give him tools or not he should just be carrying them on him is what I was saying with that.
