What does it really cost to make six figures as a lineman? For Alex Wakeland, the dangers on the pole are not the hardest part. The true toll shows up at home.
In this conversation, Alex opens up about the dark side of line work: months away chasing storms, coming home too exhausted to function, spouses raising kids alone and a divorce rate most people would never believe. He shares the reality behind helicopters and long stretches on the road; plus the quiet sacrifices families make so the rest of us can keep the lights on.
