Pay Rates

[reddog]

What is the latest on pay for an experienced Steam Chicken driver at home (western Canada) these days? Full time vs. Contract?

 

[VERTICAL REF]

depends what your doing,
sitting spec, rap, rippin'' drills or tearin'' logs?

hey Biggzzie has been a long time, got your pm, just heading to the fridge ol'' buddie...

 

[reddog]

Vertical Ref, enlighten me on any or all the above. I''m interested in seeing what''s happening with the pay these days.

And I can do most things that the Steam Chicken is capable of so don''t limit your choices.

Ah dang Vert Ref, you'll have to yell louder than that, I missed the call for the cold one (or room temp - a wino I am ....)

PM? I sent you a PM? Dang again, better watch out what I do, don't recall unless you're referring to my play/post with MSS (sounds like a disease doesn't it!)

Hey, there's a thought (ouch) lets find other variations of what MSS could stand for ....

 

[VERTICAL REF]

hey biggzie, i hear ya man...the only reason i watched msn was to see old MSS.

that information minister should have his own show right before letterman eh?

"there are no americans at the saddam international airport"...

too early to start with the beer, call ya later. hey how you get that fancy self portrait?
suave, mighty suave...

 

[Biggles]

VERT REF, the honorable mighty suave LongRanger gave me a hand with the avatar!

MSS Did the "dog" get your tongue, you've been to quiet - don't tell me you've been silenced!

 

[VERTICAL REF]

who do you want to fly the steamer for?
canadian, resource, wildcat, campbell, vih,alpine, tundra or skyline?
the company and the job vary as much as makin'' the big bucks or just getting by...

alpine, skyline and wildcat will be at the top (in my opinion)

no sense on getting paid $175 a flight hour if your always on the ground waiting for parts!!!

 

[M.S.S.]

Lies, all lies. Nothing but lies here. Liars!

 

[Big Duke 6]

Hey Vert-ref just wandering what the top three are paying? Fires,Drills,Logs and Skiing. May have to hit the MAN up for a raise.

 

[VERTICAL REF]

they are all close,
numbers range from 95/hr drilling and 90/hr sking to 90/hr drilling and 85/hr sking.
straight hourly is 150/hr with 2 hr mins all the way to 185/hr no mins.
daily rates from 200 to 400 per day.
depends on how good of a talker you are?

daily, daily/hourly, straight hourly- what ever, should work out to 90k per year for right around 180 days worked, give or take...

take your T4 total and divide by the number of days you worked last year and if your driving a medium it should be in the 500 to 600 per day range.

 

[Big Duke 6]

Thanks Vert-ref, appreciate the time. cheers.

 

[4961]

Hey Big Duke, did you hear that?, your going to be rich! If how much you get paid depends on how good a talker you are, where could you go wrong?

 

[CTD]

OK, I''m confused again. I thought Big Duke 6 and Vert Ref were the same dude.

''Sup?

 

[4961]

The Duke was once brn4vertref, but changed his handle to avoid confusion with Vertical Ref. He''s a crossdresser, likes long walks on the beach, talking about his feelings and group hugs.

 

[VERTICAL REF]

what you talkin'' bout CTD?

so big duke 6 usta be that born4 fella? is he still part of "team carrhart"?

duke...you should be able to live off of the big safety bonus your leader hands out every year? no?


enjoy your new fly tank!!!
