We should read that again. Someone call CK and askQuestions to ask the company about regarding expenses.
The drill, the parts, the rods, the steel that make up the drill itself, the fuel to run the drill, the pickup to get him to and from the site, the gas that goes into the pickup, the lube, the the pump to cool the drilling down with water, the hoses that go to the water source, the tomatos that the driller has for breakfast and that the company pays for, the transport trucks that moved the parts and supplies for everything ...come from the USA, or Mexico or form somewhere else., or are based in USD (steel in Canada is still USD price based).
As for the driller, and the runner (helper) do you think they get less money in Canada than in the USA? Do you get less for whatever you do when costs skyrocket? Weve given our guys 100% more in the last 5 years to keep up with the rising costs., otherwise they go work for someone else. And I have driller friends who contract in Canad, Usa, and Mexico. They tell me they pay the same all over for men.
So stick to what you know. You and Dentedhead. And he dont know much about anything.
