And you heaved in on fluid haulers and nitrogen on your own accord with no prompts from me.
I get it, your fat and out of shape and like working harder but why does that mean you can act like hauling sand is better or different than any other bulk haul? Don't blow smoke up my ### about running the truck being harder, the operators for the cement tell you how fast to go and you do what they say or get booted off the lease. Other than that you are just hooking up hose and running the pump like the rest if us. And your not running anymore lines than I am on a service call to a rig tank on the far side of a lease.
As to slanting trican I am not really, they are what they are and their high turnover rate gets people a place to start. I don't think many choose to dwell there if they get recruited for better money. You however foam at the mouth and aggressively attack anyone who questions or disputes you. When I was dubious of your claim class 5 license holders were being hired and sent straight to get their class 1 at company expense you were immediately defensive and claimed I was calling you a liar. When nitrogen talked about which jobs were more dirty and labour intensive you attacked him as well.
Now someone is coming into estevan and you attack his option to quickly move to a better company. Is Pete moving here to get a corporate job or drive truck? Why would you care if he moved to a different company? Are you hoping for a recruitment bonus if he stays 6 months? -
Well I'm not able to transfer, so back to square one. What companies are taking on class 5s currently? I've applied at Trican, Baker Hughes, and Calfrac in Red Deer in person and heard nothing, but that was back in February. I'm thinking of heading back the end of June/beginning of July to apply at places in person again.

My friend got hired with a class 5 licence, but had a referral from within.
When I get out there I will post if they are looking.
But sitting and thinking about all these companies who constantly hire new employees, what are some of the factors that gives them such a high turnover rate? Long hours? Cold? Mud? Money?
It won't sway my decision, just trying to understand it all. -
He starts on the 22nd, then 28th in Calgary for 2 weeks of training, then he'll start on his class 1.. probably have it within 2 months of being hired. They'll pay for his class 1, they would ' like ' him to stay for a year and then its paid out, if he leaves before that its pro-rated, if he leaves the next morning after passing his road test he's only on the hook for 3k. -
any camp jobs left out there for us maritimers?

How is breakup treating everyone?
-
She cleaned out my bank account and took everything, including my dog, while I was out-of-town.
Oh, you meant spring breakup.
Not too bad. It has been slow the last couple of weeks, but things are starting to pick up now. The bans have come off a few roads already.
