Nope. Required to have 4 wheel drive, and a diesel motor, for pipeline or drilling rig work. No gasoline or propane engines, greater explosion risk. Vans really, really suck off road, I have both a pickup and a van, both chevy, both old, both 2wd. There is no comparison between the truck and van off road or dirt roads, even though same powertrain. Ones a pavement princess. Now, a Suburban diesel 4x4 almost fits the bill, but no box for carrying whatever tools you need to take to the rig, or a welder.
As someone who drove a 4 wheel drive van 20 plus years ago, you are talking nonsense.
As someone who lives in Ab and also has had to drive to a few camps, you are talking extra nonsense. I used an all wheel drive car and helped pick up the plastic shit that falls off all the trucks on site, since they are shit.
This thing is just a dick extension.
I am literally telling you about oilfield policy and regulations, but sure, go off, anyone who actually knows can see who is making a fool of themselves right now. Yes, you can sometimes take other things on site, but there is a requirement to have at least one 4x4 pickup and the diesel requirement is real. 20 years ago is 20 years ago, I used to use a 2wd chevy 3/4 ton gasser too.
Ok, so what company? Since they use gas fleet rentals for most of the camps I am curious.
It's not a company thing, it's EUB. Fuck you're clueless.
The Energy and Utilities Board does not regulate trucks. But please tell all the gas and private vehicles on site that they need to turn themselves in.
They set safety standards. Thanks for letting everyone know you don't know.
