  1. Anyone Work The Rigs?

    Nope, it's a class 1... I have my class 5 right now (basic). Then I think you usually take a bunch of road test/written exams for your air, dangerous goods, class 3, class 1, etc, etc. It costs like $5000-$8000 to get into a driving school around here but so many companies are so desperate they'll pay for you to get your license. If you have an equivalent license in the states I'm sure there some test you need to take here, like I said I only have my class 5... here is a much better site to look at:

    I'm sure if you have a class 1 and are willing to put in the hours you'll make $100,000+ a year.

    oh my bad i didnt see u r from canada already i thought u were here in the use and going up there .... i have a class B here and i wonder if that would transfer to canada?

    Well rig season is right around the corner. Its getting below freezing at night now and it should freeze up soon enough. I'm planning on heading up north, I gave my 2 weeks at work today (I was only clearing $1200/2 weeks :censored: )

    I was making $17.50/hr as a general laborer, I know times are tough in the States right now, I think Canada is heading in the same direction but not just yet. As far as I know I should be CLEARING $5000 every two weeks (tons of OT) in Fort St John, Ft. Mac, Grand Prarie etc

    I'm buying a 2nd Gen Cummins (12v or 24v not sure yet) within the next two weeks and just drivin up and applying everywhere in person. Looking for service rig work, diamond drilling, mining, hydrovac, cement work. I want to stay in a camp.

    Anyone have experience in oil/gas or mining? Any americans ever try and get a job here? The money is NUTS as long as you can drop everything and come. All you need is to pass a piss test. Work load looks like 21 on/7 off or 10 on/ 3 off. 12 hour days is required everywhere. anything over 44 hours is 1.5 time in alberta, 2x time in BC. This is for a entry level position (you wont find anything UNDER, I mean under $20/hr). I know there hiring class 1 drivers out the ass.

    Thought I'd start a thread, maybe this might interest some of you younger guys. I don't have the largest knowledge in the subject but I can help out with simple questions. I'll let yall know how goes.

    class 1?? i hope u mean class A drivers.. and what edorsements r they requiring for their hauls?

  18. 8/0 Wiring For Power And Ground?

    in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.

    Posted

    NO my friend ... there is no such thing as 8/0 wire largest there is is 4/0 then after 4/0 your getting in to kcm and mcm wiring which is measured in mm...... no 8/0 .... also usually when you get to wire this large in the kcm and mcm its usually multiple run of 16 to1awg wires wrapped up in the insulation... and is very tough to work with deff not fot cars.... there is some if it that is even bare copper or aluminum wire they use for high volatge application such as high lines utility poles ect
    i have to agree ..
