Home Forums Introduction Welcome to Elevator Trader Anyone take the Philly test?

Anyone know the starting rate for philly apprentice? I'm out of local 8 sf Bay Area and it's $31 starting over here

26

$26 to start in Philly local 5. What's your ranking over there with local 8?

24 which I hear is excellent

Anyone know if they started calling people off the list yet? I'm #14 and emailed Oden last week but he didn't know when they were going to start calling

I called on the 10th and they did not start calling numbers yet. Go on local 5 website and call the number at the bottom and see if they started calling numbers. They are really nice over the phone. Also, if you get a chance ask when Schuylkill Yards is supposed to begin on the river! I would ask but I don't want to call in to much. I'm gonna call once a month tho. Keep us updated if you do call.

Has anyone called the local lately? I know I can't be the only one....

I'm probably not going to call for a few months. I'm in the 70's , so I don't think i will be getting a call this year.

Called in for a monthly check up. Local 5 appears to have a few unemployed guys and they are to be hired first before calling from the new list. There is work on the books coming up but nothing started yet. They anticipate to begin hiring from this new list by end of summer.

Called the Local today for an update. They've begun to call guys in and have gotten to #7. The guy on the phone said he doesn't know how many they do a month or anything like that, but it's movIng at least. FYI he also said that they'll call you and they expect you to report to the job the next day. Good luck to everyone!

Glenn this is great news. Thanks for the post. When they hit number 14, don't forget about us! Keep us posted when you get the call hopefully soon.

Called today. They have hired #10 so far.

Got the call today so they are through 14. I'll be starting with Otis doing Modification. I have to go to the hall in the morning to pay my work permit ($150.00).

Good looking out Glenn hope it goes well for you. Thanks for keeping us posted as you go along.

Through 18

For the people who have gotten a call, how is everything going so far?

Anyone have any idea where they are at and if they expect work to pick up? I was in Camden and Philly last week and there was construction going on all over the place.

Through 34. Merry Christmas Philly!

Has anyone called lately?

I call weekly now cause I’m getting really close. There was no action the first week of January but have since hired 6. They are on #41.
