today we moved 2 of 4 of these tanks through our system. They are going from Texac to the oil sands? wouldn't it be easier to build them there? the truck and load is 24' tall and 170' long...

Black Hills:
We actually do not have enough manpower to build everything here. In fact Imperial Oil (Exxon) is having to fabricate many componants of their new plant in Korea. Other sites are having things made in Europe, and as you point out, there is a pile of work coming out of the USA.
I sell componants for Upgraders, and our company is now booking work 6 months into the future. Sort of the story with every fabricator. We also have a real shortage of trades people here. I can tell you that two years ago, there was more construction projects going on in Fort MacMurray than every other place in Canada combined. I don't think that status has changed.
If there are any unemployed trade people here at STN, I would recomend having a look at becoming a Temp. foreign worker.

) would rather keep the enviros happy than give Americans jobs?
