    As the title suggests I have fallen victim to the falling price of oil. Any one have any opinions of companies in either Edmonton or Fort McMurray? I have roughly 7 months experience running local flat deck. open to anything really.

    That's rough man. I'm half expecting to get the axe at some point in the near future as well. Fort Mac has really slowed down in the last year.

    Trimac, my company, has terminals in both Edmonton and Calgary. Tank and dry bulk. I'm on the American side so I can't tell you too much about the Canadian side of things but I'm happy.

    I'm at the Calgary terminal now and I come here quite often. All the guys seem happy, they have a lot of local positions up here and better equipment than we do down south. Trimac is a Canadian company.

    You should check it out, just to see what they say. I can say that nobody has ever lied to me here and I can't complain about much.

    Trimac is the largest bulk carrier in North America if memory serves me correctly.
