Is that an Ameren truck? My grandpa was a UE lineman forever before he retired. Now one of my best friends is an Ameren Dam Safety Engineer.

Nice. I'm currently in Nuclear Security and thinking of moving over to line work. I appreciate this as I used to do GIS mapping of the grid.

What would look real cool would be to photo edit and put that pole in the back of you Ford, or cable attached to the back of your truck pulling the pole off the flatbed. Where are the desert pictures from?

Those look similar to what they are installed here in Maine as part of an upgrade. They are massive and they are installing them over some ugly terrain.

On second thought, those look bigger than the ones here.
