    Are there any LTL companies up there that have their own school. Guys at our place here start on the dock then go to one of our companies schools for 2 months to train. They get paid hourly the entire time training but sign a 3 year contract. It's $3600 for the school so if they leave early they pay the difference. We're home every day here in the USA with this deal after training. Just curious if this was an option there.

    load produced water from a gas well, take it to a disposal, darn theyre full, gotta wait til they get room for your load, write your ph num on the back of the ppwrk, go to sleep til they call you, youre biling the gas well for this, so you get paid while you sleep

    Sounds as delicious as butter whipped mashed potatoes & gravy.

    I could be sleeping my wallet larger more efficiently.

    Carry on
