we need drivers in northern bc

hey KJW, which company is that? I might be interested in the coal hauling job.

 

Bobtailing a KW with a Texas Bed to Denver in the AM and flying back. Got 4 loaded out the day you called. They are all headed for New Mexico.

 

I assume you are referring to the Maple Leaf Loading haul from Yukon Zinc:

Yukon Zinc is owned by Jinduicheng Molybdenum Group in the People's Republic of China.

The Stewart-Cassiar Highway between Watson Lake and Stewart is a tough drive in winter. There can be a tremendous amount of snow. There will be delays and the occasional highway closure. A 9 axle B-Train is do-able on that road (but no picnic by any stretch of the imagination). The tri-axle tractor and A-train setup that Maple Leaf is proposing is asking for trouble if you ask me. Somebody on this forum mentioned that they had put a truck into the lake at the Bear Glacier. I wonder if it was a Maple Leaf truck. There are a few trucks sitting at the bottom of that lake. One of those trucks was in front of me when it was washed into the lake by an avalanche a few years ago.

$325/day is not enough, even if houses in Stewart are very cheap (the town is mostly abandoned).

 

Is that the old Faro minesite??? Between Ross River and Carmacks???

 

The Wolverine Mine (aka Yukon Zinc) is halfway between Ross River and Watson Lake. It's a 190 kilometer drive from Watson Lake.

 

That was opned up in the late 80's didn;t it??

 

The ore body is a new discovery from the 90's. The mining permits were issued in 2006 and the mill was finished last year. They are anticipating a 10 year life for the mine in its present state.
