    I have only a few months experience doing teams and I just cant get enough sleep in a moving truck, I am willing to relocate anywhere but it seems most companies expect you to have 2 years experience any ideas currently in Vancouver BC

    Bc is saturated with one truck wonders, and fly by night companies. I would look at getting in with a larger company. Expect to be out 40 days a month.

    Probably better opportunities outside of Vancouver. OTR is bottom of the barrel trucking in BC.

    Me too. Yes it’s possible. Still a lot of companies run single. If your brand new, you may have to put in some team time to prove yourself.
