hrs at work in a week

[jaybull]

Just wondering how many hours an average guy works in a week? My last job was up and down being oil patch but just wondering what a non patch job demands out of a guy. Ive been trucking in patch for 6 years now and would like to find a job with weekends off or something.Is there such a thing for truckers.Oh ya it would be nice for hunting to .

[Versatile]

Shift work is by far the best for hunting IMO. I work shift work and am able to hunt everyday no matter what shift I am on. Summer is busy as hell where 6 days a week isnt uncommon but in the winter it can slow down to 4 or 5 days a week depending on how much you want to work you could work 7 days a week.

work at a coal mine in elk valley always looking for truck drivers and trades people.trucks are 240ton haulage trucks,about the size of a 900sq.ft.house

I work 4-10 hour days each week with every Friday Saturday and Sunday off.With 7 weeks of vacation as well,I have plenty of spare time for hunting or fishing.

[BC7stw]

4 on 4 off, it's great for hunting and fishing, no one out there during the week. Average about 47 hrs a week with the odd call in.

[mud slug]

spurly what class of licence do you need and who do send a resume to.

[snowshoes]

Forty hours a week, ............from May 1st -Oct. 31st I work four tens (Mon. to Thurs.) with Fri., Sat. and Sun. off.
From Nov.1st - April 30st we switch back to Mon. - Fri. and 8 hr. days.
Gotta love having long weekends throughout the whole summer

[spurly]

just a regular drivers license,you are on private property so no special licence is required.you go to truck school for a week, then training with anothr driver for a week.they are easy to drive only forward and reverse. hardest part is getting used to the size.

I'm supposed to be at work by 8:00, well the coffe pot goes on around that time, then I hang around, pretend to work a little or just look at the job, stand around and bullsh*t some more, go make some coffee for our hour and a half long coffee break, by then its time to leave early for lunch then come back late in time to make some more coffee, then go somewhere quiet and have a nap, wake up and go home early, really tiring job, sometimes so tiring I have to phone in the next day tell the boss I'm to tired to come to work that I should only have to work on paydays from 11 till noon and by the way its time for another pay raise again..........the stress is gettin to me. Anybody wanna hire me ....I got a lot of experience avoiding work and am generally pretty useless at everything.

[Justanotherbuck2]

Not allowed to read the paper in the morning or you will have nothing to do all afternoon.. I'm the boss, grunt and chief bottle washer..70-80 hrs. per week 7 days per week, occational day off when I finally get fed up. and fall is the busiest time of the year manage only a few days to hunt, i try to take two weks vacation each year but ussually end up going into work or answering my cell phone the whole time. Some days I wonder why I don't get a Job and slow down a BIT..

[600twin]

Well it's gonna be 12 hr days for about 6 weeks or so then off for maybe a month , not real sure yet just starting with a different company so gotta see how it goes, if it don't work out i will have to see if the 28/28 one is still up for grabs.

Try TransAlta Utilities, lots of guys just like you there!

[catnthehat]

I work a 40 hour schedule, but I generally put in about 60 hours.
I'm on a salary contract, and my cell is on 24/7.
The upside is I drive a supplied truck and don't pay for fuel, and some other fringe benifets that are not calculated in!

Not in Hydro my friend.
Supposed to be 40hr/wk, Standby every 4th week,(that means 6 days per week)(Unless your from the Bow Valley then it's every 5 or 6 weeks including Bighorn) that's if we have full staff, and if we ar'nt doing a shift at the Bighorn. Usually on the standby list 17 or 18 weeks out of the year.
