Re: Watt and Stewart wanting drivers
If this is true, it works out to $14.73 an hour:rofl::rofl:, a whopping 73 cents an hour more than my missus gets, sticking labels on boxes of dog food.
No wonder Canadians won't work there. |

Link to the original ad on Kijiji for the non believers , I only copied and pasted because some can't be arsed to click on a link .

Re: Watt and Stewart wanting drivers
This Kijiji ad must be showing the wrong figures or you've sabotaged it kb33 because on their website they say they pay "one of the best compensation packages in the entire industry.":eek:
Any W&S drivers on here ? |
Re: Watt and Stewart wanting drivers
Every Trucking company website say they pay "one of the best compensation packages"
And how the hell have I sabotaged an ad on Kijiji :rofl: |

perhaps your a super computer geek/hacker :rofl: and your talent is waisted as a trucker :D |
Re: Watt and Stewart wanting drivers
All the guys at Watt speak very highly of them.
I 'd guess you could average $800-1000 net pw? The only rumble I've heard is that John Stewart's sons are running it rather more than previously, the old man was mustard, unfortunately the boys are still learning. The last 2 I know of who left went because of the mire involved in getting PR in Alberta, not the company. Both went to Manitoba. |
Re: Watt and Stewart wanting drivers
Thought Mick Fly said he was averaging $25 an hour there , He spoke highly of them , Which is saying something !:rofl:

Mickfly :confused: If you believe half his nonsense you must live in Neverland . The bloke did a few months with Hit and Run and ran home , then did a summer with Watt and Stewart and ran home again , hardly the basis for factual knowledge :lol:
This is a geezer who prefers Bradford to Canada :rofl: He had a bad time at H&R & chose to publicise it. He lost a lot of money at the time & wanted to save others from the grief he had. He said when he went to Watt he only wanted the work, not PR. Though he may well come back for 2 more years in October. |

This is a geezer who prefers Bradford to Canada :rofl: I got decent miles and earned a good sum, banking plenty, and had NO complaints about them whatsoever, which might make you consider I was right about H&R, seeing that W&S is flatdeck in all weathers, so hardly shopping trolly work like most are looking for. Yes, I may be back to take the 2 yr permit in the future, I don't need PR as I have property and brass in Europe, so I am fortunate enough to be able to make choices. Something about my time there... http://cathincanada.blogspot.co.uk/2...o-go-home.html As Alan Douglas also says, I blabbed about H&R to save people from grief, but FTTM still thinks it's sour grapes, or some such thing! |
