Thanks for reading this.

Hi, started working in Michigan as a contractor and ended up ripping the bucket off the bucket truck thinking the truck will clear the trees.

Was let go and didn’t think anything of it until later on when I read the termination slip. They checked the box (disregard of safety instruction) under the Discharge category.

Asked them if they will let me voluntary quit but they said they already sent the slip out.

My question is with this record on me, will that contractor ever hire me back ? They are pretty big and out at different state as well.

1. Is it possible to clear my record? I feel like that should not be a violation of safety.

Should I talk to the hall about this? Or just sign the books and continue working and think nothing of it?

I don’t really want my career to be ruined with a safety violation tagged to me. I don’t want that record to be with me for the rest of my career.

Please let me know how you would handle this situation. And what are the pros/cons .What actions will you take. Appreciate all the replies and thank you for reading this.

(The bucket didnt get completely torn off, but it got cracked, I know it’s my fault and it costs a lot of money)

Looking for a similar caddy or bin like this to fill the empty gap in the controls. Wondering if you guys have something similar or can point me in the right direction. TIA

I interviewed for local 245 on Tuesday. I was the only black guy to even interview lmaooo. The interview went great ,had the committee laughing a bunch but we also had some serious moments too. I shook everybody's hand at the beginning of the interview and also at the end of the interview thanking them for the interview. When I shook the Kent Power contractors hand , he shook my hand hard as crap and looked me in my eye and said "keep being motivated and hungry".

I am just wondering when would I get my rank and I'm wondering from experience does anyone think I would rank decently high after having such a good interview like that?

Great opportunity

Taking my eval for Seclat next week to come in as a 4th step. Got about 4200 hours on a overhead line crew, doing pole change out, reconduct, and conversion. Anyone got any idea what this eval has in it. Any info helps

I had a great interview for the apprenticeship feeling very confident in myself. I’ve been fortunate enough to run storm with my groundman ticket but, I would like to not be completely useless. If I don’t get in on this round I will still use said tools on storm when given the opportunity. I know the basics as far as linemans, channel locks, & hammer. I’ve learned most of the terminology off of YouTube so when I’m told to grab things I know what said item is the problem is the tools to put everything together. I had gotten a jls number and was told he would text me a list which I never received. Thanks in advanced I’m hungry to learn and be useful.
