Alberta oilfield driving jobs

Well Red Deer was the closest place to where I am staying(Stettler). So it was the logical place to go.

 

The position is in cementing. He's got his class 1, whimis, hs2, first aid and cpr.

 

Sleeping in, missing jobs, DUI, too many speeding tickets, failed D&A test, nervous breakdowns, injuries, the list is endless.

It's not just Trican that has these problems, it's the Oilfield in general.

 

Ok, so BoomTruckin, how long have you been working and how is it going for you?

 

Been here 4 months and have no complaints. There are a lot of great guys that work here.

 

How is the pay structured at Trican?

 

And what should a noob be aiming for?

 

Got an offer for winter work, with a possibility it could be year round at $30/hour+OT, running heater truck. Only offer so far. Not sure if I should take it. What do you think???

 

Rate seems OK
Means the chance for earning $
Gain some experience
Build up oil patch resume

I guess I would do it, to get a start on things.

 

Monthly salary plus Northern Living Allowance here in Hinton. With a class 1 I believe it's $2800 plus $700. Job bonus's are based on the ticket price of a job. Max bonus is job bonus plus performance bonus roughly around $360 for pumper 1, $420 for pumper 2, overtime after 10 hours on lease at $50 an hour. Meal allowance (tax free) $40 if over 12+ hours, $30 8-12 hours, $20 4+ hours. IIRC.
