Alberta oilfield driving jobs

says right on the govt website, cumulative...branch managers of anything arent of any value most of the time

ive got all the emails from ab govt and icbc on a hard drive from my dead computer, just havent figured out how to import thunderbird back into my new thunderbird, but the end result was there is no solution


sat in autoplan broker office with the mgr there on speaker phone with icbc, no solution

and count the days you use your car for work, less than 6, get pleasure territory z...

im in the same house here in ab year round, so could give them address...but for the guys that move around, dunno what the solution is

 

Actually, no it doesn't. It just says to a maximum of 183 days in a calendar year. It doesn't specify either cumulative or consecutive.

The language in the relevant act may be more clear.

 

Doesn't that mean cumulative ?

id love to be wrong aboot this

 

That's clearer.

Although, absent a confession brought on by waterboarding, it would be difficult to prove. And for what, an "improper registration" charge? Probably not worth anyone's time, especially if your home province registration and insurance is still valid (as has been suggested). YMMV

 

Don't put water boarding past either insurance system in question; )

 

Change of topic - in Red Deer all major players have hiring signs out.
Be sure to apply online. Recruiters like that.

 

Question - what's it like working a vac truck on drilling rigs?

First, let me thank everyone that's been contributing to this thread. It's been a great help since leaving the economic black hole known as "back east" for Alberta in 2011. This is my first post. Lurker here for some time.

Have been working on a frac crew for about a year and a half now. Recently decided that frac is not what I want to do for the rest of my life, so...

Today, was offered a job working a vac truck on drilling rig sites, and, hoping that someone here can tell me a little more about it...my experience in the patch is limited to frac.

Guessing that working vac truck on a drilling rig is mostly about removal/disposal of used up drilling mud, but beyond that I don't have a clue. i.e. is there any climbing involved, etc? How physically demanding/dirty is it? How much driving is there versus how much time sitting on lease? The guy said that new hires can expect to clear about $3000 after tax every two weeks, in a camp setting, with 14 x 12 hour days. He said his top earners clear about $3600 every two weeks.

Any info or insight that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

Long hours, cold and wet. Good money but you earn every cent. Young mans job. Keep you fit fighting a 4 in hose.
