Try Martin Brower. We're hiring right now. Start at least $25/hr. Top rate is now $35/hr. It's not like other food service companies. Everything is taken off on a lift gate on carts or with an electric pallet jack. It's very easy. Just don't expect to work Mo day to Friday.

 

How much experience is MB looking for these days?

 

They say three years but I've heard they hire guys with less. Depends on how hard it is for them to find drivers. When they put a sign up outside, they must be having a hard time finding guys.

 

I would stay, City be the hour, is reliable and predictable. As many of my friends are finding out, food service, fuel, dump, food grade tanker CLAIM to be by the hour, but really its all "by the load". So if a trailer isn't ready, something takes 2X as long, or they flat out don't have work; you make NOTHING! Also lots of dispatch games, bribes, underhanded #### in all those industries. The head city guy where I'm working in Calgary (Medium Sized Company) has been here 25 years (5 OTR 20 Daycab by the hour). I think he's in the $26-$28/hr +OT Range, but as he says "I make that regardless". I can tell you in my 2 months of dedicated LCV, I make less "rate" on paper vs US OTR/ABL, but I'm Netting the same or more per mile; only working 5 days a week 3 nights in the truck.

 

Wages are also based on location, my employer offers 20% higher income if I live in GTA where homes are averaging over $800K,,,a area I would not move to for any money...I prefer quiet locale and privacy of my early colonial slum dwelling in the frozen tundra

 

In Ontario the red army was manitoulin for years.
