My base rate as a juinor pipeline inspector was $930.00/day and $100.00 for first 100 kliks on my truck and a buck a klik for anything over.
Good money but I didnt like being a fall guy for encanna.
Theres a reason you dont see too many on the rigs,they dont usually last more then a few hours,that's still Alberta redneck domain.
We know how to get her done,might want to read up a bit on Alberta's history and start with the Mannix brothers.
As a tradesman from the late fifties to retirement and working across this nation I'd hate to tell ya how many journeymen I trained in Ontario that had come from Alberta for work. After experiencing Ontario's largess they probably returned to raise familes on those easterner skills.
I can also remember well how long Alberta was a "Have Not" and on the receiving end of those transfer payments. Get over yourselves already with this "easterner" crud. You need someone to dislike; better look further than Ontario for your villification of all things eastern. Newfoundland'll be your next angst riddled diatribe as they're gonna be your direct competition for
all tradesmen in the future.
All the trades are going to experience a massive boom on that rock and believe me when I say this: you want a place to raise a young family and experience friendliness without any of that Alberta "easterner's suck" bullcrap; head on over to the Rock. Once there you'll never go west of Nova Scotia again.
I predict your "let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark" might be your own fate some day if you don't get over this childish resentment and start treating people with friendliness instead of disdain for all who would come for work. You epitomize everything bad about "regionalistic pride". Today it's your turn to gloat, but tomorrow, who knows.
A Canadian who sounds like a southern redneck is nothing to take pride in bub.
