    I see alot of job advertisements for trucking in alberta, at generous pay scales. I am yet to get my license but plan on it soon, does alberta have good opportunity for new drivers? if not, does anyone? lol

    for a new driver I couldnt have the luxury of picking, so either Id say, both have their pros, but eventually Oil would be my choice.

    i would say oilfield from the start. they take you through a mentoring program for awhile. even if you don't have a class 1 licence they will get you through the drivers program.
