Alberta oilfield driving jobs

Me personally pounds and miles, and miles per gallon make much more sense than their metric equivalent. Of course that may be because I was 8 or ten when Canada switched to metric. Also hauled mostly US highways for 10 years or more. So yeah my front axle is 12000 POUNDS, and my drives are 35000 POUNDS

 

89 tons sounds heavier

 

89,545kg is actually 98.72 Tons. That's a lot higher than 89.

 

Once again metric conversion being screwed up, and after teaching it for nearly 40 years ( not you PB). No wonder I prefer the English system for most measurements.

 

89.5 metric tonnes

 

Tons? Tonnes? Too #### confusing

 

= 98.72 Imperial Tons.

89545 X 2.205 = 197,447 lbs/ 2000 = 98.72

 

Settle down driver, just a joke C'Mon. Yes 89,545kg sounds way better. Anyone tell me how the Coq is?

 

Clear on the webcams

 

May I steer the conversation a different way??? Was wondering if, for owner operators wanting to get into cement or oil hauling, a tri-drive tractor is a must. What are the specs like on a truck in the oil-field (for bulk hauling)?
Do you need special kind of suspension?
Do the frame rails need to be double?
Is Tri-Drive a must?
Are KW and Western Stars recommended?
Thanks...
