Trumpy,
No, I have not seen the size of 33KV insulator on the ground.
All I know is that APS, (Arizona Public Service), is hiring new journeyman Linemen for 35.49 per hour with awsome benifits.
I think perhaps the risk is worth it. Just don't know how to get in the door.
I was hoping that my apprenticeship would be honored with them. As I have now learned that the linesmen and electrician trades are very different.
I would still be willing to learn if they pay for my schooling.
