Getting Started — GoHereBro

🗺️

The Map — Find Job Calls Near You

Live job calls from 300 IBEW locals, plotted on a map.

›

1

Go to the Map

Click 🗺️ Map in the top nav. You'll see pins across the country — each one is a local with active job calls.

2

Click any pin

A popup shows the local's number, city, number of open calls, and current book status. Click View Local to see the full details.

3

Use the filters

Filter by state, number of calls, or work outlook to narrow down where to travel. Pins update automatically every 30 minutes as GoHereBro scrapes the halls.

4

Search for a specific local

Use the search bar to jump straight to a local by number, city, or state — no hunting around the map required.

Heads up: Data comes directly from each hall's dispatch page and is refreshed every 30 minutes. Always call the hall before making a move — GoHereBro is a scouting tool, not a guarantee.

★ Founder perk: Founders get notified the instant a watched local posts a new call — no more refreshing the map. Set it up once and let GoHereBro watch for you.

Local Pages — Scale, Books & Outlook Explained

Everything you need to decide if a local is worth the trip.

›

1

Open a local's page

Click any pin on the map and tap View Local, or search for a local directly. You land on a full detail page.

2

Read the scale

The scale is the journeyman wage rate for that local — shown per hour. GoHereBro pulls this from where2bro.com and refreshes it daily.

3

Check the book numbers

Book 1 is the out-of-work list for members of that local. Book 2 is the traveler list — that's you. Lower numbers mean you'd be called sooner. Zero means the book is empty or closed.

4

Read the work outlook

The outlook is a short description from where2bro — it gives you a gut-check on how busy the hall is: "Excellent", "Good", "Slow", etc.

5

See the open job calls

Scroll down to see every active job call GoHereBro scraped — contractor, number of positions, classification, and any requirements listed.

Pro tip: High scale + low Book 2 + good outlook = worth a call to the hall. Use these three data points together, not individually.

★ Founder perk: Founders can Watch any local and get real-time alerts the moment its book numbers, scale, or outlook changes — so you know before anyone else does.

Hot Spots — See Where Work Is Clustering

A heatmap of where calls are concentrated right now.

›

1

Go to Hot Spots

Click 🔥 Hot Spots in the nav. You'll see a heatmap overlaid on the country — brighter areas have more active calls right now.

2

Use it to plan your corridor

Before you decide where to travel, check Hot Spots first. If a whole region is lit up, there's likely steady work there — not just one fluke call at one hall.

3

See the ranked list

Below the map, locals are ranked by total active calls. Quickly scan for the busiest halls in any region without clicking individual pins.

Best use: Hot Spots is a strategic view. Use it for deciding where to go. Then drill into individual locals on the Map to decide which hall to call.

★ Founder perk: Founders get a personal Dashboard — a live feed showing every change across all their watched locals in one place, updated in real time.

Forum — Real Intel From Real Travelers

Ask questions, share intel, and connect with other IBEW travelers.

›

1

Browse before you post

Go to 💬 Forum. Use the search to see if your question has already been answered — a lot of locals have existing threads with real traveler reports.

2

Ask about a specific hall

Post in the relevant category: what's the BA like, what are the motels nearby, are they taking Book 2, what's the job situation. Other travelers will know.

3

Build rep by helping others

Reply to threads where you have first-hand knowledge. Your rep score goes up when people upvote your posts — it's how the community recognizes solid contributors.

Culture note: The forum runs on traveler-to-traveler trust. Share what you actually know. Speculation without experience isn't as helpful as "I was there last spring and..."

★ Founder perk: Founders get access to the AI Brain — ask it anything about scales, book numbers, locals, or travel strategy and get a data-backed answer instantly, 24/7.
