Alberta oilfield driving jobs

Hello Prairie Boy. what can you tell me about the job you are hiring for?Thank You " tctrucking"

 

General question: how much can owner operators expect to gross and net. Also what type of truck would be best suited for that? I imagine there can be a lot of rough roads what weight is typically pulled what sort of engine would i need?

 

General answers:

Gross: $70,000 - $500,000
Net: everything you don't spend on truck payment / lease / rent, trailer payment / lease / rental, plates, insurance, fuel, taxes, maintenance, fees, permits, etc.
Truck: get a good one
Weight: 1,000 lbs - 200,000 lbs
Engine: medium to big, running, but not too thirsty

 

You always this helpful??

 

Nope we're usually worse
First off your question was kind of stupid and indicates you're not ready to be an owner operator. How you spec the ttuck depends on what you want to do. You gave NO indication what you expect to do, so how in the world can anyone tell what is appropriate setup. First get some experience as a company driver. In thr process you should find a company you trust and like working for. Look at their trucks and how they're specced and go from there.

 

hi guys.can anyone tell me what the jobs are like in Fort St.John for a class 1 driver with 30 yrs exp.just curious what there was for work,and which are the best jobs.some tank exp. mostly end dump etc.Thank's in advance.

 

30 years experience but the profile says 20. We hire drivers to haul pipe in western Canada.

 

You're more helpful than my ex-wife, I'll give you that much. I tyoically do tanker work, but i just got an offer to drive crude oil. So i guess my question would be more geared towards that line of work. You mention go to a comaony i trust any recomendations?

 

Also how does a former gym rat workout with these krazy trucking hours. Any mobile personal trainers around loydminister?
