Alberta oilfield driving jobs

Hi cariboo kid, thanks for the reply. As mentioned, I have an open mind about driving but I think I would prefer driving over working for a fracking company.
maybe water truck or fuel truck to start? What town should I head to for this type of work? Or maybe I should just use the internet and send out my resume?

 

Fuel is more dangerous than water or crude, at least to the public. I would think they'd want more experience for fuel than the other two. Water and crude can be dangerous as well but not as big a fire/explosion risk. Red Deer, Edmonton and Lloydminster would be my first suggestions but just be willing to take the first job offered to get a little experience and open up more options after that.

 

Do these companies help out with accomodation in any way? I would like to work several weeks and put in long hour and have a week or two off. Other than camp jobs, do jobs like that exist? Speaking of camp jobs that really is what I want. Northern BC or Alberta would be bgreat but Saskatchewan would be fine too.

 

What can I say? I'm a slow learner.

 

Some do but you will be drastically reducing your options if those are the only ones you will consider

 

Flint Energy seems to have a lot of driver positions available. These driver jobs are often vacuum truck, pressure truck or vacuum/steamer combo truck.

Are these jobs to stay away from? Are they about sucking up toxic chemicals all day and little driving? It seems they have a strong demand for these drivers. Maybe its because they really are lousy jobs?

 

I'll say it again. I understand wanting to get to work and make big bucks, but as a green driver, working long hours and getting really tired is a great recipe for an accident. while your boss will always give you another load and tell you that you are the greatest, when you wreck the truck, and hurt or kill someone(maybe even yourself) he will dump you like a stinking turd

 

Your point is well taken Nitrogen. Having worked hundreds of 12 to 15 hour shifts in my previous career where alertness and good judgement were extremely important I am well aware of the dangers of exhaustion.


Maybe you can help answer some of the questions I have about where I should start looking and for what type of work. Do you have an opinion on the type of jobs I mentioned above? [vacuum truck,pressure truck, vacuum/steamer conbo] Thanks Nitrogen and all who reply.
