Hi there. I have to admit that I'm totally ignorant about the forest industry in Alta. There obviously is one there, its just that everyone I know who's moved East of the Rockies for work, high paying work, wasn't moving there to log.
Sound's like you have experience in driving heavy trucks. That's something that is needed, for the most part.
There is guys from Alberta on the site who might be able to help better, but you should probably specify your skills/training, and mention what type of work you are looking for.
If you were heading right out to the coast of B.C, I've been copying posted jobs to another thread on this page.
But that's here.
