Alberta oilfield driving jobs

thats what im saying, the ad will say 40hrs and $28hr so $1100/wk...."nope dont want that job", but in reality its ~90hrs a wk and OT, so theres the magic $3000+ a week

 

That was a great post PB. Tks for the ref's.

 

Excellent information, I'm just getting into the industry and this is exactly the kind of info I need.

 

And prospective employees from Ontario (or wherever) may also wish to check that the OT is paid at overtime rates or whether all 90 hours are paid at straight time - in which case it's really two and a quarter jobs instead of one job with overtime pay.

 

does anyone know how much tong hands make in a year and if they have set scheduled days off?

 

Service rig or drilling rig? What area?

 

drilling rigs

 

Soloing a load of cement tomorrow on a trailer up to ft mac, never been there. anything I should know about highway 63?

(cept its really really boring)

 

Boring ??? Not with all the idiots on that road. I guarantee when you run the Newfie 500 you don;t get bored.

 

HA!
Yeah that I've heard.. that people run as fast as they can because the guy with the shortest time gets the pot of gold at the end.. My Western Star is governed at 100.. so I won't be racing.. (Plus i'm fully loaded with bags of cement)
