The economy here has kind of taken a dump, was considering some 4 week on 2 week off jobs, where you fly in and out.

 

Does anyone have any experience doing this type of thing?

Will likely be maintenance or repair type work.

Saskatchewan / Alberta area's

 

Opinions are very welcome folks

Well I don't know much about repair type jobs but a former coworker does "hot shot" delivery's now and seems to do ok for herself. So basically I say buy a Ford Transit and go for it

My buddy ran cranes in Canada at a refinery.  Fort McMurray.  Had a similar deal.  Lived in a small room - got up at 4:30am and worked long days.   Made some decent cash and missed his wife a lot.   Met a lot of good guys.

If you find something where they have two positions, let me know...

Have had some response from dealerships (i cringe at the thought of going back into that rat race).
