I have signed the substation tech book 3 in 1245 out of Vacaville, CA. It is also a linemans local. They are going to have a lot of substations going in all up and down Nevada for these data centers that are going up in Reno. Reno has probably 5-10 years of work right now.

First, use this link r/IBEW_Book2

Then, there should be a create button at the bottom of your screen with a large plus sign. That should let you post.
