Those hourly paid jobs are not what they once were. The bloke that drives my other truck came off city work as he was struggling to pay the bills, the hourly rate was still decent, but work is on its arse since oil prices hit the floor and the western province’s economies took a big hit. My man has doubled his take home wages and his money is close to Robinhood’s set up.
There was an advert for a city owner operator last week for a fair sized firm in Winnipeg, it was paying $37ph and that’s with your own tractor unit which you have to buy, maintain and put diesel in! I have no idea how anybody could make that pay, but I’ve noticed that the company in question seem to have a lot of new owner operators recently and they’re running some proper scruffy plant. I couldn’t possibly comment on their country of origin as it could be construed as bigotry.
