    You could look at it as a training wage. Do that for a while and you will have some experience that will soon get you better offers.

    Last couple years my bonuses were about equal or a bit more than my salary for the year. 2750x1.5-2 is not a bad wage for a class 3. That's better than 80%my of the highway haulers. As stated they will pay for his class 13 as well and as soon as he gets it. Say within 3 months his wage will go up as well as his bonuses. Yeah not.a.bad start at all.

    They were saying 12 to 14 hours a day it averages. To being 25 to 27 an hour that was the one guy they said made 9000 in a month so I hope to be in around the 7500 to 8000 if things are rolling every day a 12 to 14 hours. Home every night that would be after taxes I believe.

    Wallyiron, read my post on company/lease driving before you decide. My guess would be the 5500 is gross until winter then a few months at 9k.

    If you want some company recommendations pm me, I won't post names here online.

    i bet you meant "Waskada" I'm not familiar with the company but the area has a fair little boom happening. one thing to think about is that Waskada is pretty much nowheres. 45 minutes to anywheres with a population of 3 or more dogs:)

    The oilpatch has a lot of jobs including overtime which you don't get on Percentage. Look up Phoenix Oilfiled in that area. They are out of Nisku. Name just got changed to Aveda Energy Services.
