Maybe all those long hours your doing at Westcan is scrambling your brain,(it certainly hasn't helped your spelling!!)because if you would care to check out a few of your posts on "wages for truckers" you will find you slated Seafood about their wages when you where looking at PEI!!

Gremmie

I know my spelling is not to hot ( i still think in swiss german and translate as i write) and i never slated their wages, i seem to recall they were to low for my budget, ie 1500$ alimony every month
And my brain got scrambled years ago any way,miss spent youth and all that

[quote=kerlynkeo;5459477] I have returned....

Light the touch paper at arms length and stand back....Holy smoke how things never change eh.

I have the signed contract from Robin which I recieved while we were there.

Called him the other day regarding the LMO and he assures me it will be on its way very soon as they are taking a little longer at present will give him another call end of the week if I have not heard anything but he said there is no need to worry when I spoke to him last friday he still has a job for me and not to worry on the issue....Phew it is a worry though aint it.

Need it soonest really as I will be going into my boss with all the documentation to show him and apply for my early release from Military service. With being in the forces and on extended service I need to give a minimum of 6 months notice to apply for my release its not like any other job where you can just walk in and say see ya and work 14 days notice, we have to apply officialy and provide the evidence of the contract & job offer to prove we are not bluffing the Army into letting us go therefore for me I intend to have everything wrapped up and be free of Army by 1st June. However with all your leave and resettlement time you get this means I technically would be free to be in PEI by Feb 08 Hence the urgency.

We also need to have the tennants (is that spelling beer or people) out the house and get it on the Market as Robert is expecting us to buy no later than the end of May................Jesus All systems are go...now just need LMO....HAHA i AM A POET AND DIDN'T KNOW IT (D***head).

Anyway there is a big story for you bet you wished you never asked now...ZZZZZZZZZZZ

Joe is great just really looking forward to the move and counting the days...she just keeps saying how friendly everyone is and how helpful you all are in making us feel welcome at SE............Robin top bloke he even gave us baseball caps so you see I am official a SE driver I have the cap to prove it.

Now go and put another Toonie in the meter and feed your kids bad women you.

I know you mentioned the alimony before and I didn't think it was any of my business but if your say earning $4000 take home from Westcan month, paying that $1500 is taking approx 38% of your wages away in one fell swoop.
How will you ever be able to afford a mortgage in BC or pay your rent,surely it must be high in BC?
Will you have any money left at all once your bills have been paid?

Andy i tried i really tried but he keeps comming back

Gremmie

The only truth in this post is highlighted in magenta,the rest is pure assumption on Big Bums part,as always

lilacheart

I will be a good girl.

A previous poster said that Seafood did not pay for their flights as stated in the contract.

I can confrim Seafood just paid us back for Hubby's flight in full.

andy_sheila

Thats not good to hear, i hate it when facts get in the way of a good arguement..... On topic, whenever i see a SE truck on my travels, the drivers all seem to be happy with life and friendly enough to talk as do most drivers with any company. Of course it's human nature for a minority of drivers to moan and argue with anyone but some people have it down to an artform.

lilacheart

I was sticking to the topic as requested, didn't want to stop an arguement .


I am sitting here with a crash helmet on waiting for the second round.

I think they have all gone to bed, need to recharge

Puts in arm and waves white flag............................

Just dropped by to say welcome back Loafy, I'm glad you made it to Canada. Hope the job is going well. When will Clair arrive oh and the dog. We're living in Regina Beach as I thought I shouldn't let the side down. Archie (the dog) should arrive in Regina on Monday, just in time as they won't allow animals on internal flights in Canada after 31st Oct cos it gets too cold. That saved me a short trip to Calgary to collect him.

I'll just back out of this thread slowly without too much disturbance just wanted to say hi.

Gremmie

What have i missed??? just popped out to rent a video and naff all has happend even Lorna D didn't really join in,Hi are the pair of you doing anyway, has he passed his tests yet,give some gossip LD

Lorna_D

Just testing the water in case I got my head blown off, then I realised that Britain is sleeping so it's ok to chat

It's great in Regina Beach however I think I've gone back in time about 30 years. Only old folk and work persons about in the day and this mad Welsh woman that walks everywhere must be me. Hope to have the dog over on Monday so won't look too much like I'm casing the joint.

We have a 3 bedroom cottage 2 blocks from the lake but too bloody far from the bar, but we manage to walk won't you? We have an 1994 Plymouth Voyager that eats the petrol, but I only need to go into Regina once every 10 or 12 days if I want to so I only use it around the village and into Lumsden for shopping.

Mal was told in the interview in Britain that he could not transfer his US Class 1 licence, not true he could have it would have saved him doing all the tests again, he found out too late. Never mind. He had a good mentor, a French Canadian owner driver, who gave him some really useful tips on setting up the dial thingys, winter driving, etc etc. despite the basic things that he was supposed to do like border crossing and the like.

That was a few weeks ago and since then the guy he was going to partner with had to return home for a while so Mal has been on his own until Sunday when he paled up with a scouser to do a dedicated run of 5 days, down to the US and back. Pay is still a bit iffy but we budgeted for 2 months until we get used to the pay system and he remembers to put his paperwork in whatever depot he's at. :curse:

Yanke have been good so far, very helpful and professional. Mal says it's not an easy job, but the roads are easy and the sights he's seen have been and added bonus.

I love it, Mal loves it and we are not going home. It's a bit quiet here at the moment and the bar doesn't have Setanta so the sport is limited. We wanted to watch the English get stuffed sorry lose the rugby but when we found a bar in Regina they were watching the repeat of the Argentinian game. Never mind

How's everything with you?
