Alberta oilfield driving jobs

Send me a PM with your info, I can probably get you a job. Actually I have 3 in mind, they all pay good. Make sure its a PM and not posted to my profile where everyone who looks can see. Or see http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...ers-forum/200875-hey-guys-i-need-drivers.html

 

Thank's, Basic.Not sure how to PM you. Can you send me a message at " tctrucking@primus.ca" i would sure appreciate it.Thank's again.

 

Looking for advice for a new class 1 driver with no experience, and wanting to get started working in the oil field. 44 years old so not afraid of hard work, but not sure I would last if it was gruelling work.

I already have WHMIS, H2S, First Aid, as well

What 's the best way to go about it?

1)Send resumes and hope someone will take me on knowing I will require some training

2)Get experience with a local company doing long haul first

3)Hop in my car or and head to Ft Mac and apply in person? I would be coming from Vancouver.

thanks for any advice, it is much appreciated

 

You def don't need to go to fort Mac to find a job but in person is always better. I would get your oilfeild tickets first though to be more appealing to a company. H2s pcst, cst, first aid etc

 

Forgot to mention that I do have WHMIS, H2S, First Aid, so I added that. I guess I'm mainly wondering if anyone will hire me, and what types of jobs should I be looking for as I know there are definitely good jobs and not so desirable jobs.

 

Big Eagle I see there always looking for vac operators but I heard there not good to work for

 

lot of people don't care for "Big Weasel"

 

Try CleanHarbors out of Leduc.

 

Just scrolled through a few pages.

Someone mentioned BC/Fort St John. The whole of northern BC is going off. Big oil and gas plays, major expansion of operations, companies expanding up there like crazy. Provincial government has maybe realized BC can't exist on tourist dollars and grow ops much longer, so watch for lessening of the controls and a more oil/gas friendly business climate.

So I would suggest maybe don't just look at Alberta for work. FSJ is a bit pricey for rent, grocery and flights. Not so much for the camps either, unless you are a driller/rig guy. It's also pretty harsh up there for a new guy. Cut your teeth driving BC bush and staying in some of the camps around Wonowon will make a man of you.

Lots of places hiring around Nisku/Red Deer right now. If you're not too fussy, could maybe get a job in 24 hours. Lots of companies hiring noobs with class 5. Seems like it's back to the recruitment cycle of desperation again. Driving a water truck would be a good gig, get some driving experience and learn the basics. Maybe start off driving body jobs and then move up to a semi truck pretty fast. Earn $34/hour fairly soon on semi truck.

Hope everyone is doing good - don't seem to get too many job/work inquiries on the forum much these days.

Life is good here, very settled, less than a year in the patch and I'm ahead of where I thought I'd be. Met some amazing people. Worked my harse off. Learned so much, so fast. Not pigeonholed and working on multiple service lines, which has kind of surprised me. Driving some of the biggest nastiest things you'll see in the patch. Steep learning curve for sure, but look listen and learn, ask questions, try to act smart and use that rare and elusive common sense mode.

 

I see the N2 placard. Is that what you're doing now? For who and where? I'm N2 also in Red Deer.
