Alberta oilfield driving jobs

Hey, can anyone give me advice on the best way to get someone to get back to you from First Canada or one of these places? I'm more than qualified as a bus or truck driver and I've sent my CV but I'm starting to get the impression that these folks get a zillion CVs and phone calls a day. Is it more worth someones while to just come out and take your chances?I'd prefer to have a job before going out there but I guess everyone would. Thanks in advance for any replies.

 

As I keep saying right now is a bad time to start looking. It's starting to get mucky real fast again. He'll even the billion dollar project I'm working on that wanted to go right threw spring by matting everything got shut down by the county so they put me on the highway pulling 10 axle loads from sask-bc. And yes the best way to apply to most jobs is in person if you can.

 

I used to steer the dolly when I first started heavy hauling, but now I'm pulling.

 

I had a buddy that worked at entrec last yr for a bit.
He was moving equipment around for the most part but said it takes a while to move up into the big loads. Hes not working there anymore. Had too many problems working out of stony plain and living in red deer.

 

Ya, I figured it was right around breakup, but I'd rather research early before I make any decisions. Any other advice or good companies you guys can think of is much appreciated! Thanks for the help

 

Hi can someone give me some advice if I go and get my AZ license. I am seriously thinking of getting out of Ontario and moving up to Alberta, the oil sands). Would it be a good idea? I want to make some good money there and really considering it. please give me some info

 

Can someone please explain to me why in the trucking industry they can cut your wage in half for shop/travel hours? If I'm going to get paid $35/hr I want to get paid $35/hr all the time same as any other job out there. Any companies that don't do this?Thankyou

 

They don't get paid when your in the shop. It's coming out of their pocket. Usually when your done a job for a company the charge out is finished for your time. Basically their cheap. I get same rate from time I leave home and return with ot.

 

One more thing.. If you try wiggle or complain they might just send ya home.

 

You hauled some of those for Lynden.
