Supporting Line Families and Promoting the Line Trade: Featuring Chad Dubea
Listen now
Description
For Part 2 of our series featuring Chad Dubea, we are highlighting the Fallen Linemen Organization (FLO), which helps families of wounded or fallen lineworkers in their time of need. After working in the line trade, Chad was looking for a way to give back to the industry he loved, and he founded the FLO to help families of lineworkers.  During the episode, we also explore his role as the executive director of the 2016 movie, "Life on the Line," starring John Travolta and Sharon Stone, as well as his work to promote the line trade through the Drivin' for Linemen 200 NASCAR truck race. In addition, he describes the plans for moving the bronze lineworker memorial statue to Florida, the new home of the International Lineman's Museum. To learn more, stay tuned for a future Line Life Podcast episode featuring Andy Price, the founder of the International Lineman's Museum.  Also, check out the 2024 T&D World Lineworker Supplement, which features Chad in two stories: Lineworkers to Leaders and Lineworkers Light the Way in the Line Trade. You can read the digital edition here.  Finally, don't miss Part 1, in which Chad shares his tips for lineworkers to start a business in the line trade.
