    My bad, apparently it really is a Canadian thing in the oil patch.

    well I lasted a week ... I cant by far lift the heavy metal pipes (laying Iron) for rig up. my limits are dragging the huge hoses... so I am now home looking into a more normal job (real estate agent).

    You'll churn your stomach keeping that kind of company. NAR is plain ol' pond scum.

    Have you tried the usual local money-makers? LTL, food service (more but lighter loads), propane delivery, etc? Lots of hiring and bonuses in those areas, and there's a dedicated forum here full of info.

    Since you've done hoses, look into bulk where you are. Just don't forget the respirator and ear protection.
