    Whoops unless he was putting you towards vac truck or a steamer. If they do commission salary those two can be in the 60 an hour range. Usually those go to guys who have been with the company awhile tho

    Believe you me you will gross much more than 4g. That will be your monthly salary. Then you will get a bonus everytime you go on a job. That typically would be 4 out of 5 days. Your job bonus could be anywheres from 50 to 250 bucksper job. Oh and about 50 a day tax-free for meal allowance. Spare me the highway haulers that say you can't make that much net. I have been doing it since 2004 and have almost hit the 100k gross mark in 11 months.

    My driver makes %24 of the job ticket. He operates a tri-drive tanker. His gross for 20 days in December was &11500.00. He can hit $20.000 a month if he goes hard for the whole month.

    bozzie, i think we need some clarification on the $4000. net per month

    is that just your base salary?
    if it is, that seems high for a rookie to be getting with no experience.

    what equip are you going to be operating?
    i know a cement pumper with a class 3 makes more in bonus's per job than a bulk hauler with a class 1.

    what are your bonus's going to average.
    i'm finding that $100-$150 seems to be an average per job, although it can go higher.

    can you contact the recruiter and ask him to clarify the wages. you will be better off ahead to understand them before comparing them with other companies.

    just a word of caution... depending where you will be based out of, there could be a shortage of housing. before accepting the job, make sure you can find a place to live. lloydminster is really bad right now, should get better this summer i hear. good luck.

    Don't waste your time. If you are not prepared to run BC and SK at least part time not too many places are going to look at you.
