P.S. Don't forget about Breakup
During the spring, the ground and most roads can be damaged if heavy equipment (i.e. service rig equipment) runs over them. For this reason, road bans are issued to prevent heavy equipment from operating in certain areas. Employees should be prepared to have approximately 4 to 6 weeks off during spring breakup. Most employees will qualify for employment insurance benefits. If you don't qualify for unemployment benefits, it's essential to save enough money to get through breakup.
DHC Well Servicing typically offers maintenance opportunities for our workers during the spring breakup period.
