Neat pics Wildkat. I love Alberta too. Everyone I have met there are great! Been there a few times. Last time was a couple of years ago. Made it to Edmonton.

Thanks for the info. I had found the company you work for on the Internet before and a few others that supply Northern Alberta. Not sure what I want to do yet, just looking at my options. Thanks again for the information.

Annie :wink:

I am what is termed a "linehaul driver" in the LTL business. I mostly run vans (dry, reefers, heaters) from one terminal to another. Strickly pin to pin, no touch. The company I work for is unionized, so they are pretty set on what drivers do. Works for me, but at times, more BS than I can stand. But that is everywhere! :lol:

We, like ALL trucking companies in Alberta a DESPERATE for Class 1 drivers, so keep looking, am sure you will find exactly what you are looking for. Word of caution tho, try to stay with the mid-sized companies, they are better, as a rule, to work for.

It's not as bad as it's made out to be. All depends on where you go. If you are somewhere like Fort McMurray you'd be lucky to find a tent! But in the bigger places like Edmonton, Calgary, Grande Prairie is not that bad. Hoursing has not kept up with the demand, but it's coming :roll:

Do you know who he works for? I know many of the guys who run in the arctic. Tho not so many of the ones who run on the Yukon side, just NWT.

I am not sure who he is working for now, he changes jobs so often, next time I hear from him I will ask him

Is funny Shawnee, that's a very common thing out here, especially now with the economy the way it is. Very few people stay at a job longer than a year.

Do you know what he does..fuel, freight?

Shawnee 03-25-2007 10:04 PM

All I know is he is was hauling vans, he was at Kindersly and then quit there, his leg is in too bad of shape for doing the other kind of work. I know he changes jobs a lot, he will quit one job and then take several months off before he goes to work someplace else
