It was actually pretty easy. Few terms didn’t make sense, seemed like they were from 18th century England

He says there were 4 questions he had to guess at but was pretty certain on the rest. So we shall see...he doesn't have any veterans points or a commercial drivers license, and those get extra points.
Thanks! |

Make sure you have your contact info updated. Would hate for someone to miss
such an important phone call. I'm crossing my fingers. The test seemed a little too easy. Im thinking most people probably scored pretty well. |

One thing to keep in mind about IUOE ... it's an old school, Left wall bangin' Labor Union ... 2A friendly at the Member level, but otherwise as "Liberal" as it gets. As apprentices were we expected to walk our district knocking on doors and manning phones. It'll be a tough row to toe if you can't squelch your conservative feelings. But you won't beat the money at the OJT level ANYWHERE. It's a great skill, plenty of opportunity if you're willing to travel, lots of work on the horizon, and I don't think there's a cheaper way to get a CDL anywhere (unless maybe your dad is OO).

It is great training and most of the instructors are great, it’s been 20 years and they still remember me when I see them at construction conferences. My advice to anyone that gets in, try to get into running Cranes, top pay and your first and last on the job. And your not breathing dirt all day. It’s like playing a big video game, Love my job

I graduated from Purdue in '73 and "wasted" 30 years as a design engineer. The economy turned to crap, and I needed to learn a new skill. I didn't apprentice with IUOE until I was 53 ... I was older than my instructors. Scored high on the eligibility test, eye sight (depth perception) was getting worse so I didn't trust my ability as a crane hand ... but a bunch of my friend are crane hands. As an apprentice you'll be wearing a lot of hats. Grade checking is interesting; you always know where the project is. Pushing dirt, to me, was always just plain old fun (scraper trains being the exception). I got my class A training from IUOE... another skill I'd suggest you all look into (it can come in handy in the off season). I just filed for my "pension"; starting so late I didn't pile up a lot of credits. I've always enjoyed working outdoors... too bad I didn't get into the trade sooner.
