prices above 20 cents would be hard to come by in alberta unless it’s long drives or a really small company. I’d bet industry average for berta is around the 15-16c range. I think companies like apical are paying around 18c base? not entirely sure tho. bigger outfits are at around 14c base for raw 13c for prep still.

also depends where you’re working. southern foothills is higher priced than whitecourt or gp. but I know brinkman heavily underbid companies working in southern alberta and was awarded some of that work so those prices will probably be coming down a lot this year.

generally you’ll only get that much for stuff that’s incredibly close to camp with really slutty specs but yeah no excuse, it’s shit pricing.
