Trican - A day in the life of an Operator

[@VlD3adly]

This was my crew. Frac operators in Alberta are on the road 220-280 days a year. You make great money but sacrifice basically your whole life to get it. Do it for 2-4 years, get your money and get out is my advice to anyone. 10 year employee

[@continentalmasters5432]

Any advice for a new guy getting into fracking

[@petrolekh]

Where do you go afterwards?

[@youraveragegamer7399]

With the Cement units in the background pulling out ready to do the real hard work 🫡😜

I miss this sometimes , I was a blender tender and a pump operator for BJ Hughes in the early eighties . I miss swinging a sledge till someone yelled Iron ! Meaning it was ringing and tight. I also learned to handle an 18 wheeler and shift a 13 speed properly

Badass video! Starting as an operator with Liberty in a couple of weeks. It’s a 2 and 2 schedule and you can work your days off.

[@matthewjoyal4088]

The work is shit and the pay is nothing like what it used to be. Stay in school, get an education and work a normal job. The oil field has no future; especially in Alberta.

[@MrPlostyles]

Keane frac bought trican and now C&J and keane merged called Nextier Keane bought out C&J's debt

[@danielwebb9306]

I remember those days I work for Halliburton industries we did the same work in the oilfield loved it was always away from home an loved it travel everywhere

[@raphaeltovar4559]

Lol it’s nothing like that really. You don’t sleep in the Tractors you go to a bed wether it’s a mancamp or hotel.. every night. At least for frac. Cement and all that is a different story. And no one changes their coveralls 3x a day lmaooo you wear one and it dirty all day. And only change if you get wet and it’s cold

[@youraveragegamer7399]

Lol, I'm in cement and yeah we get hotels if we're away from base assisting another base. But lots of napping between Jobs in the truck, cement keeps a guy on his toes.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Never have missed this!

[@ThunderLips730]

never seen a female operator. That's a unicorn. they don't exist.

[@TricanWS]

In fact, they do exist, I'm happy to report.

[@ThunderLips730]

Trican Well Service Ltd. Oh yeah I forgot. Quotas and human resources.

[@maisefitlife]

We have one on my crew!

[@ThunderLips730]

I meant operator. As in, a hand that actually does something. Not walk around either with their hair up trying to mean mug and act like a dude to everybody or with their hair down trying to fuck every hand on the crew. While simultaneously doing nothing.

[@maisefitlife]

My operator (Girl) is awesome! Drives heavy vehicle logger, rigs all the tools in and out, lifts heavy shit & cleans them all back at the shop. She is awesome.

[@elcherandy8517]

Somebody can tell me how much is the pay for someone doesn't have experience equipment operator ??

[@lj5673]

when I started fracking with zero experience and no CDL it was 16.50hr but depending on the hours worked I would still sometimes bring home 2,000 dollars for 7 days worked

[@dragodrago7370]

What'd the pay like for operators and what are the long term prospects

[@richardcranium5839]

shit that aint mud its mud when you sink to your knees and after the frac a d9 drags the iron out roadside so you can break it down. busted airlines bent maxi cans strappin fuel tanks back on with chain and binders.

[@carlantaya175]

Only in the states, they are still Trican in Canada.

[@RPicazo5ohh]

Any jobs in Midland?

[@Turtle_the_fupa_slayer]

Yeah worked out great for Trican in the lower 48.

[@clintt.l7444]

So, I mean, what’s the pay like? An average paycheck after tax? I’ve been driving in the patch for 7 years hauling crude oil etc. and I’ve been taking home $4,500 - $6,000 after tax every 2 weeks but that’s doing 16-18 hours a day every day. Is the pay similar to that?

[@VlD3adly]

It varies all over depending where you live, the size of your fracs, luck etc. You make more now than most of them do. Supervisors make 140-230 000 a year. Non supervisors range from 75- 160 000, varies a lot depending how big the jobs are you get put on

[@johnnyblaze8439]

Trican surely has the cleanest trucks

[@GoViking933]

They are jokingly known as Trashcan but yes, have nice iron and a few old hands who used to work for them say they are a great company to work for.

[@b.g.9662]

I thought shift work at Suncor in Ft. McMurray in 1980 was bad. At least that was predictable. Definitely a young man's game at best.

[@mershelljames3868]

I would love to come work for your company.Do you hire driver from Jamaica ?

[@grobulk8150]

If you don’t care about your friends or family you can become rich af especially if you’re single. My strategy was Tanker water hauling. Flat rates at no less then 25 % per load 30 % was gravy. But fuck reefer trucking can kiss my ass. The highest in demand division their is but also the most miserable. Gotta slide tandems and be great at back no fuck all that. Tanker was my favorite.

[@clintt.l7444]

In the muddy conditions when you’re driving off-road you’ll quickly realize that making corners and trying to turn your truck still continues going straight. The steering chains help with that

[@GoViking933]

They are called Steering Chains

[@kylebethel7299]

Never were bought out. They just sold their US stuff to Keane. They are a Canadian company and still going up there.
