Once again,
This post was directed to the SFE guy's,
I'm very well aware that other companies pay for extra's/"bennies",
Can you dispute the $8.41/hour take home figure and is this not a poverty line wage?!!!!!! The provincially set minimum wage for NS is $7.10 per hour (iirc) I have not looked into PEI but i suspect it is similar, so no, $8.41 is not "poverty line" neither is it even "minimum wage"
C'mon now lets be sensible here,
I'm right in saying you've been running as an "O/O" for what all of 6/8 months now?
In that short time your able to honestly state your earning a fortune? Compared to what i ever earnt in the UK......YES, i earn a very good wage, good compared to your $40 an hour but i wouldn't describe it as a fortune, neither would i call 20gbp in the UK a fortune. The only people earning a fortune in Canada and the UK are sports/popstars etc

Hey, not aimed at anyone but can we get back to the original topic of this thread? namely Seafood Express. I'd hate for this to go the way of the H&R thread by Lyndon. This thread is invaluable for people going/thinking of going to SE, as was Lyndons for H&R.
I'm as guilty as anyone but please can we get back on topic?

So in a nutshell, Seafood are a good and fair employer,who pay the going rate for that region ie. Prince Edward Island,which just so happens to be a really lovely and laid back part of Canada. The employer is willing to take a risk on helping "import" an honest hard working driver and help with relocation of his/her family.
And NO as a driver you wont get rich,not on PEI or anywhere else for that matter,but you can have a good life

$8.41/hour is not "poverty line" according to the "powers that be" but what would "the working man on the Street" in PEI/NS think of earning $8.41?
What would somebody "flipping burgers" at "Mickey D's" in Halifax earn an hour?
Yes,
I quite agree that $40/hour (£20/hour) is nowhere near a fortune but for at a guess 90% of the population here in the UK that would be dam GOOD money!!!
