    Hi all... I'll try to keep it short and easy...

    Wondering if anyone might have time to pass info to me regarding current opportunities in the Patch/field. I'm a former tridem N2 hauler, who moved back to OTR/LTL with my own tandem rig, as I needed a little more nightly home-time. That's changed now, and I'm looking to get back up to the patch as a company driver, or another position if available. Not sure who, or what's best these days N2, Crude, Other fluids, or other stuff? I have a wide and varied skill-set, but do enjoy the driving! Maybe if any of you reading this are actually hiring managers or personally able to hire, you might consider me for other roles (resume available if you want to see it).

    I'm a former Marine and not worried about "working" for a living, but clearly looking for a good way to make a buck or few... needing to get into a 6 figure income pretty quick... Ideally need a company that's willing to fly me in and out of the Okanagan on a 15/6, 21/10 or 10/10 type shift. I'd prefer a company operating out of Red Deer if poss as it's a relatively easy drive home outside snow season if I'm not flying. Also, more than willing to live remote/camp if needed while on shift. I know we're getting close to break-up soon, but any suggestions?

    Appreciate it if anyone willing to help would either post here on this thread, or if you prefer... drop me a PM as per my profile. Regards, and thanks in advance... Andy

    Been a busy winter for N2 in GP. All the companies up here havr had big n2 jobs. Still going strong.

    Try oculus, air liquide, crossland if youre looking to get back into n2.

    Oculus also has a bunch of fluid trucks as well

    N2 in Red Deer on rotation would be Baker Hughes Calfrac or Sanjel.

    BH offers 15/6 and 21/14 options with a travel allowance.

    Sanjel offers 21/14 I think.

    Nothboundhound... thanks for the pm. I can't reply to it as I haven't got enough posts under my belt on this forum... would you please re-p.m. me with an email address so I can pass my phone # and direct email to you. Thanks.

    Pinner - thanks, but not sure what you mean... Yeah, I know most of the companies involved, but the point of my post was to try find out who's currently doing OK with work and likely to hire, without me having to knock on every door while I have a limited travel budget. Do you have any helpful suggestion on the relevant companies right now, that allow/help with $$$ for fly-in fly-out?
