Alberta oilfield driving jobs

Appreciate it.

I have always had a little voice in my head telling me to go. Then when I do move there, I probably will regret I did not do it sooner.

 

Got an e-mail from Sanjel in Lloyd asking for my abstract. Applied through the website couple weeks back.

Had my testing done today for Trican, took about 2 hours. I don`t think my family doctor was anywhere near as thorough as this place was.

Had a full medical done (again, did one last week for Ontario), Urine test x 2 (1 on site, 1 sent to lab), saliva test, hearing test, vision test and a colour blind test. I don`t see Trican incurring this expense just for nothing, looks promissing!

 

What base are you thinking of going to. Ya mine took about the same And here I am. Good luck

 

Will know more when they contact me, but looks to be the Hinton branch more than likely.

I have 4 tickets on my abstract, but no demerit points taken away from my license. How does it work in Alberta, is it number of violations or points that matter.

 

Usually points. Most Companies want less than 6 demerits. They might frown when they see all the violations though.

 

Hinton is Fracing and sanjel in lloyd is Cement, lloyd is flat, hinton has some steep hills, frac bonus's are higher, but all lloyd jobs are pretty much exploratory and they're close to the road small jobs, so you won't do much off road, and may never chain up.

Sanjel / Trican will send you for all the training / tickets you need, doesn't matter if you have tickets already, you'll go through all theirs that are required..

Whoops.. i thought you meant ' oil field tickets '
they go by points here, unhireable at 6, which is 2 speeding tickets - once you get an alberta license and pass GODI you get 3 points forgiven every 2 years

 

3 speeding tickets, all 15 over no points. (2010 and 2011)

1 speeding ticket, 19 over (2.5 years ago)

No demerits.

I hate Ottawa. Cops eager to give tickets every day for the smallest thing. And I drive more tame now that I am not in Toronto.

Lived in Toronto most of my life, never a speeding ticket. Always speeding! If you have been in Toronto, you know what I mean! Driving the speed limit will put you at risk!

Edit: Just read up on Alberta laws regarding Demerits and I would have 6 Demerits until June 03 this year, then only 4 demerits after that. Driving like a grandma now pissing everyone off behind me! Here in Ontario 15 and under tickets give no points, Alberta give 2 points.

 

I think you will be alright for demerit points boomtruckin. Since Trican has already received your abstract and still booked/payed for your DA and medical it seems your record was clean enough.

 

4 tickets within the last 3 yrs makes you a facility driver. some insurance companies wont even touch you. try and get the 19 km over off your abstract before you start applying.

 

Onetrack, if you have the major tickets like h2s, first aid, etc Trican will not send you to renew them unless they are real close to expiring.
