Kriska Transport (Mississauga)

Congratulations! 2 hour road test, 6 weeks with a trainer, sounds like Kriska does things the right way. 6 weeks sounds like a long #### time though. Hopefully you get along well with your trainer, that's a small space to share. Anyway, best of luck. Maybe I'll run into you sometime, I spend a lot of time in Southern Ontario and see Kriska trucks all the time.

 

Hi guys just wondering has Kriska changed the feet over to automatics ?? dont mind stick but it looks like everyone is going to autos, I havent even seen one yet what would I do my OTR training in??? thanks....

 

According to Mark Seymour of Kriska the average truck driver @Kriska works for peanuts!

He should be embarassed!

 

1 year probation seems like a long (and illegal) time, if that's what it is.

6 weeks with a trainer is a golden opportunity, don't blow it.

 

"Seymour says the average driver at Kriska makes about $58,000 a year, and, he added, that’s not enough. And a three or four-percent increase is not enough."
How many company drivers here made $58000???

 

My brother pulled in $75 last year. There are guys here pulling in $90

 

I pull in between $60k-$65k each year as a company driver, and that's with a good 4-6 weeks off. Sometimes more. It's quite easy to make a decent amount if your company gives you good miles.

 

6 weeks away from home, no weekly home?
