Alberta oilfield driving jobs

In the '70's I had a plaque made for my Truck Push. Went something like this, " Have you seen my trucks? How many were there? Which way were they going? How fast were they going|? I have to know, after all, I am their Leader. LOL

 

one of my former bosses in south east Saskatchewan got that posted on his office door by the crew. it suited him well

 

how many bonus jobs out of edson per 15 days did you average 1 per day? Very curious?

 

Just saw a Gordon Trucking GTI truck parked in front of a motel with 2 sets of singles on. Looks like it's been there a couple days by the way the snow has been plowed around the truck. I suppose the driver is sitting in the hotel room watching the weather channel wondering how long it'll take to go to Alaska and back. hehehe

Or hes left the truck there and took off back to the safety of the lower 48 lol

 

I had that plaque made in 1977.

 

Can't be the same guy then. How ooooold are you anyway, were there still dinosaurs running around when you were growing up

 

Oh you young'ns ..... did you guys sleep thru history and geography classes in school ? All that oil out there in the patch was formed back in the dinosaur era of the 60's and 70's. Early fossilized 8 track tapes have been found from this era as well.

 

I'll be 71 next month. And the guy I'm talking about was a good push. He wound up being the President of Pentastar before Flint bought them out.

 

Yeah I bet you've got some good tales to tell over a coffee pot. My guy not so much he earned his red nose and the rest the old way and he was barely 30. Apparently more than once he went AWOL for more than a week. They would have to send a crew as far as sturgis to grab him and dry him out
