**IBEW Traveler Snapshot — Tuesday, July 21, 2026**
**
LU-613 Atlanta, GA** leads in raw volume with 218 open calls at $40/hr base — but the real money is at Plant Yates in Newnan under the SCMMA Agreement: days at $42.18/hr and nights hitting $45.01/hr on 5-10s. Heavy industrial and hospital work rounding out a very busy board.
**
LU-481 Indianapolis, IN** has 184 calls at $48.80/hr base, with Meta Data Center Lebanon paying $53.80/hr and **2x OT if all hours are worked** — that's one of the better packages on the board today. Eli Lilly is also pulling multiple contractors on a 7-10s rotating schedule.
**
LU-494 Milwaukee, WI** is stacking hours at Port Washington Data Center — four contractors hiring a combined 65+ JWs with 50-60 hrs/week available and a **$10/hr base adder** on top of the $52.73 scale. Wisconsin license required.
**
LU-26 Washington, DC** sits at $62/hr — highest base scale on today's board — with 168 calls and FIS LLC offering **$125/day per diem** on VA data center work. MV and controls experience will get you noticed here.
**
LU-291 Boise, ID** is worth a hard look: Micron ID1 is paying $45.33/hr **plus $20/hr adder plus $170/day per diem** on a 60/60/50 schedule across multiple contractors. That's a strong all-in package for anyone willing to make the trip.
Overall, the market is firing on all cylinders — data centers are driving volume from Georgia to Idaho, and double-time OT packages are showing up on multiple boards simultaneously.
