BT Welcome back!!! Now spill the beans.....
 
.....and tell us all what happened to you.

Were you imprisoned in a dark cell and your fingernails removed. :blink:

Have you been thinking of loads of questions while being imprisoned bet you had loads of time to think. :confused:

OR

Have you been rehabilitated and now seen the light in making a living by driving OTR

:D

Hello "Daddie Dave",
I got my wrist slapped for "cutting and pasting" on this forum when it is done with abandonment on the other forums,
strange that!!:unsure:
I think I could be about to get a ban on another "backslappers.com" forum by two "overzealous" mods who don't like it when my "observations" point out that they "earn" close to $10/hour for the glorious privilege of driving OTR!!!!:D

But I must say guy's the posting on here has gone badly down recently, there's very little actual "truck driving/living in Canada" posts being submitted,too much "doggie doo doo" if you don't mind me saying.:(
If I was a new member here the recent posts would not encourage me to come back,even if it is coming from me.:wub:

Gremmie,

http://forum.truckersworld.co.uk/vie...=7584&start=15

Whats the point in trying to inform anyone of Living an working in Canada when you disect everything and turn the whole thread into a farce :(

And BTW I know for a fact that some WBT drivers are earning over $85K a year and not in B.C.

Honestly you have no idea of what its like in Canada ;)

Yes,
I could well believe there are WBT drivers making $85k in AB,but they are working 15/16 hour days to get that aren't they?:thumbdown:
Why do they have to keep coming back to the UK looking for drivers year after year if the majority of the ones they already have can earn $85k?!!!!!!:blink:

Gremmie/BC boy/Spirit 08 (he changes his name as much as his employment!!) worded that post at Truckersworld to make readers of it assume that he was going to "earn" $90k/year when we all know thats now not true.:o

Why do they have to keep coming back to the UK looking for drivers year after year if the majority of the ones they already have can earn $85k?!!!!!!:blink: Duh!!!!!! Because there is a shortage of drivers in Canada (and the US)

I read the post and he quite clearly stated, in answer to another posters question, that the $90k was gross

Now why don't you stfu and ask some sensible questions, contribute something useful or stay away?...............

Have you found out your fuel price yet?!!!!!!!:thumbsup:
Go and look at some of KB33/Gremmies and other EX-WBT drivers posts and they have stated they have worked such hours,GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!!:mad:

Yes there is a shortage of drivers, why?
Because of the long hours away from home and the crap $10/hour wages.:(

[quote=Big Truck;5635920]Have you found out your fuel price yet?!!!!!!! Yes, the recent huge increase hurts but i'm not about to go bankrupt anytime soon, we got a wage increase to cover it :rofl:
Go and look at some of KB33/Gremmies and other EX-WBT drivers posts and they have stated they have worked such hours,GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!! See below

Yes there is a shortage of drivers, why? Because of many things, wages being well down the list
Because of the long hours away from home and the crap $10/hour wages. If $10 an hour was right (which it's not), it's still $3 above minimum wage

LOL, My facts are right, you stated that Gremmie said he earnt $90 giving the impression that this was a net wage, Gremmie openly stated 2/3 posts later that it was a gross amount. You are so FOS, i'm not even going to argue with you anymore. TBH i'm so sick of you that you have the distinction of being the only person on my ignore list.

Have a good xmas and try to make a new yrs resolution to not be so much of an arse

This trucking forum is chock a block full of drama queens,look at what has been posted this past two weeks,a complete load of "twaddle", 90% of it nothing what so ever to do with driving a truck in Canada.:thumbdown:
At least when I post,good or bad/arsehole or not its "mostly on subject!!!!:p

Thats the second time you've had me on your ignore list,try and stand by your principles this time!!!:rofl:

Right it's all my fault.

I started this thread so cut and paste the SLAP above into a new reply if you feel the need to give me a slap for strating it and giving BT the bebefit of the doubt that his time in REHAB would change him.

:(:(

Although not an ideal solution, thank god for the ignore button.............:thumbsup:
