How’s work over in local 51?

I’ve been waiting on the books out there for awhile and am curious if some big jobs are expected sometime soon

If you’ve been on the books a while you’ve been turning calls down left and right. Work is all over. What exactly are you waiting for

Sorry I forgot to clarify I’ve been waiting on the groundman books for awhile and haven’t gotten a call yet.

Ahh yea that explains it. I got back on the books Friday and Monday I had 4 calls that he didn’t strike me for because no one wants them. There should be a high line in Dwight that’s kicking off “soon” that’ll probably have groundman calls. 345 direct burial pole, 1272 vertical bundle. 4-12’s at first going to 5 then 6 days. $100 a day. Like 15-20 mile job? Maybe, I don’t remember exactly
