06/21/2026 Daily Report

**IBEW Traveler Snapshot — Sunday, June 21, 2026** **LU-26 DC** leads on scale at $62.00/hr with 159 open calls — Aarow Electric needs 20 JW for a 2-year military base gig in Springfield, VA, and several data center calls in Northern VA are running 58-60 hours a week. Book 1 is basically clear at just 1 out. **LU-494 Milwaukee** is the premium earner for travelers — $62.73/hr (scale + $10) at the Port Washington Data Center with 60+ hours available through Cupertino, MJ Electric, Gurtz, and Roman. Wisconsin license required, but 160 open calls and nearly no one on Book 1 (just 5 out) makes this a standout. **LU-405 Cedar Rapids** is quietly stacked — $54.48/hr at QTS and EWD Data Centers with double-time OT and 6-day schedules. CST alone needs 47 JW. Iowa license and OSHA 10/30 required on most calls. **LU-1426 Grand Forks** has 153 open calls dominated by Parsons Electric at the Polaris Forge Data Center — 6-10s with $100-150/day incentive plus $100/day per diem. The 2nd shift call adds a 31.4% differential on top. ND license and drug test required. **LU-481 Indianapolis** and **LU-124 Kansas City** both show strong volume (187 and 138 calls respectively) with scale in the low-to-mid $54 range and heavy data center and battery plant work on extended schedules. Overall market is hot — data centers are driving call volume from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic, with premium incentives and extended hours the norm rather than the exception right now.
