    Along with the other things mentioned...

    Fire extinguisher could be used as a hammer, and put on the road as a triangle, maybe shoved under wheel as a chock, lol... Multi use!

    It can also be used to repel first responders who might be inclined to try and put your truck fire out, leaving you with a damaged, but repairable, partially burned truck which will never be the same, rather than letting it burn up completely so you can get a new one... 'cause it sure as heck isn't any good for putting out a truck fire itself.

    So I finally made up my mind, and I'm wanting to try my hand at coiled tubing up in the Grande Prairie or Fort St. John area. I contacted Trican already, but are there any other good companies in those areas that I should look into?

    Not far from where I'm working these days.

    If you don't have a place better find one now. Going rate is $800-1000mo for a room in Bonnyville or cold lake.

    Fly to edmonton and take a bus up would be cheapest.

    Tiny, check out STEP Energy. We have offices in FSJ and Blackfalds. We are one of the busiest coil operations right now with about the best safety record. We actually just officially hung out the help wanted sign last week.
