Trucking in Alberta

What is the pay like in oilfield vs highway in Alberta ?

 

Oilfield is by the hour. A tractor/winch tractor driver starts in the area of $28. and can run as high as $45.00 an hour plus Overtime.

 

Ive been loving my paychecks lately lol

 

rigs are shutting down for christmas, just been told that i'm off till the 28th when things start picking up again. alot of bonus days gone, but get tospend time with the family.

 

I bet you lucky bugger. How many hours have you been getting now that it's frozen up there?

 

Schooling?!? In Canada if you come across the right training center you can BUY you license!

bahahah

 

frozen? its been warm lol. And not that many hours last week since it was winding down for christmas but better than i would prob make in a month working for an otr outfit. Im off until after the new years but i could care less. Im happy to be home for the holidays.

 

I remember weeks ago you commenting on snow and cold temperatures. I assumed it had stayed cold in Alberta. BC has been warm as well as you know.

 

Edmonton had like a week of cold temperatures and 1 day of snow i think... Dawson creek got dumped on just before i left but it was never that cold there
