Canadian Owner operator advice

When you start letting your kids run the company, and decide that pushing everyone beyond their limits is the best way to make money, it doesn't take long. Checkout their latest google and indeed reviews, if they haven't already been taken down. They sure can't keep O/O's very long, and those they do keep, seem to be going 75mph everywhere.

 

Wow. That isn’t a good review. I figured they were decent simply because I hardly ever see their ads on the job boards. Think I’ve only seen 3 in the last 5 years or so. Not that I’d run for them or do reefer work again.

 

From what I have been told by cardholders that Petro Pass is the only card that works both Canada and the US

 

I believe Husky/esso has a network of over 800 fuel locations in North America. Pretty sure they are in an agreement with T/A petro

 

So true - unless you have at least 5 trucks you cannot make any $$$$ - your best bet would be to run to the US from AB - or try to get direct with the shippers - like the sugar mill, Alberta Paper, lumber loads (they don't pay well), salt - good luck to you -

 

I’ve actually pulled all those loads at one time or another as an ABL contractor. So I know what’s involved, and wouldn’t even bother doing it on my own. No sir, ABL, Landstar or IC for IHaul is all I’m up for; until that UPS doubles job calls me back.

Also out of all those loads, Windsor salt out of Chippman AB or Belle Plane SK were the worst. ANC paper out of Whitecourt AB wasn’t great either.

 

Bison forsure (They're currently hiring AB only Regional O/O's), TransX (LCV, Tridem and Single), CPX/Versacold (LCV, Tridem and Single), Orlicks (not sure if they still use O/O's or not), Rig, Syndicate, New Way (depending how desperate you are).

 

Hi im planning to be a lease o/o with ihaul, offered me $1.55, between paying insurance and fuel, I don’t think there is good enough money to be made, want to ask for your advice thanks
