    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows the process for opening a trucking company in Canada. I know that there are specific laws in Canada for trucking.

    Easy, peasy, insert tab "A" into slot "B"... start here: http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/permits.htm

    If that doesn't work, try the Alberta site (just make all cheques payable to B.C. :biggrin_25525:): http://www.transportation.alberta.ca/3.htm

    Everything is laid out if you're a reader. Otherwise, there are a number of companies that can walk you through, or do it for you (I'm not familiar with any in B.C., but can recommend one in Alberta).



    Whoops... too much eggnog. For some reason I thought you were in B.C., but if I were looking in ON, then I would probably start here: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/pubs/#commercial

    If you have money, invest in something other then trucking.

    The quickest way to lose $1,000,000 is to buy a truck.

    Like I said, if you have money to start a trucking company, for goodness sake, start something, anything other then a trucking company. Or even keep your money and collect interest on it, you would make more money that way with no need to take a gamble.

    There is money in trucking.

    unfortunately for us drivers that money is in our wages.

    If you start a company,simply cut the rates and lower wages.

    That is how every other company is making money.....taking it from drivers wages.
