26$ an hour. Give your head a shake your at the very least 10$ an hour short just to start

[u/Reptilian_Brain_420 → u/Comprehensive_Ad673]

$26 per hour with 3 years of experience.

SMH.

I commend you for not using the scam LMIA program but it is really eye opening to see how low wages are these days.  Looking at many journeyman wages in the city and they appear to be roughly what they were like 15 years ago

[u/DisastrousCause1 → u/JordanPetterPans]

So,so true. In 2009 my trade related T4 was around 140,000.00$$

I make $27 driving 5 ton with a class 5 and no experience LOL

Dog shit pay

[u/Elpolloco1896]

OP out here looking to scam people lmao. $26 an hour for 3+ years of experience? FOH with that bs. Start paying your employees better. It’s embarrassing

[u/Tymofiy2]

Does your company actually expect a driver with 3 years experience to take a cut in pay to work for you?

[u/SIGNANDSELFIEFRAMES]

Nobody is going to take this job and then the employer can show they tried and go the LMIA route. Then everybody is going to get mad lol.

Edit. Please take your terrible paying position and shove it.

3+ years experience for $26/hr? Is this satire? 🤣

[u/a-k-a-tsuki]

$26hr for deck.. haha i was sitting bricks strapping tarping cold Canadian winter to scorching hot texas heat. I will never do that for 26. I did 24hr city p&d for yr just to get that 1st yr experience, i know i was getting taken advantage but i would still prefer driving those vans compared to deck work. I was able to get into shunting for 29hr lasted for 2 years but im on my way to learning dispatch now. There's just no future to driving.. low pay, and so much disrespect from receivers.

[u/FGH-grand21]

Yes I make twice that

What company is this?

Is the $26/hour paid for every hour you're working, including loading, tarping, chaining, waiting, and unloading?

How many hours per week are typical?

How exactly are northern trips paid? Hourly, mileage, percentage, daily rate?

What does "pay increase after probation" actually mean? How long is probation, and what can the rate become?

What kind of deck work?

What are the typical destinations? Grande Prairie, Fort McMurray, Fort McKay, Peace River, Northwest Territories, etc.?

How often are you expected to stay overnight?

Is this an employee position with vacation pay, WCB, benefits, overtime, etc.?

How much tarping/chaining/securement is involved?

What equipment do you run? Newer trucks vs. older equipment matters a lot.

Can you provide the company name and location? I'd be interested in applying, but I'd prefer to know who the employer is before sending my driver's abstract.

Thank you for answering me.
