Yea, I've just about had enough of these "new construction types", Love being Heavy Duty, but Mobile is definitely a challenge having to deal with people. The part that sucks, is I live right by Finning Caterpillar Calgary, Wajax Hitachi, Tractorland (Kubota), like 10 min commute. Get this, they only want "2nd year Journeymen or better" LOL! good luck with that one boys, guess you like having empty bays. Like its bad enough you don't want apprentices, but now even Journeymen isn't good enough? this country is so cooked.

A huge issue right now is there are too many green apprentices and Journeymen with experience get snatched up very quick. Its hard to get your own work done when somedays it seems like there's an endless line of apprentices needing help.
