Thinking about trucking for a living

It's worse.

I am beginning to view colleges as places where our young are irrevocably damaged.

I don't want to say anything more than that. It's a loss to us all.

 

Apply to Ontario Works and get referral to Skills Training Program. Fully paid 2 month training for truck Driver (AZ). Message me if you need more help.

 

If you have money to pay for training then I would advise to proceed. In my current class, we have students who range from 18 - 55. My school has a 100% placement but my instructor has informed me that almost every big trucking company will take on new drivers with no experience due to the current driver shortage.

 

The City of Toronto case worker who came by to give us a presentation of our rights while on Ontario Works mentioned that the reason my tuition is paid for by the city is because the driving school has a 100% placement.

 

You will find employment so long as you don't accrue more tickets or damage equipment. There is so much driving to be done it ain't even funny. You may need to learn to speak new Canadian if you look for work in Toronto as a high % of those companies are. Avoid those.

Any idea what type trucking you have in mind? What are your home time requirements? Wife, kids, etc. Basicly asking local or over the road (otr).
