Where Else Would You Truck Besides the USA?

I'm a Yard Jockey and sometimes local shuttle guy.

Sort of curious about Western Canada. My understanding is the weather is usually mild if often having light rain which I don't really mind.

Of course. Cuz they artificially raised the rate of pay you earned. Same reason why the government had to bail out the auto industry and why we're not competitive with japanese auto makers. When asked to renegotiate the contracts during the recession. The union gave the middle finger. Instead of doing the right thing.

Unions and high paid corporate officers are pretty much the same thing. Paid too much for the level of work they do.

Since we both do the same job ( I assume) is it you who is underpaid or me who is overpaid.

If you're happy with the wage you earn that is all that matters, if it is solely compensation we are debating.

Here's a channel I came across recently

He's based out of Chile, but does a lot driving in Brazil and Argentina. I imagine driving across Patagonia must be pretty peaceful. Only downside must be dealing with crossing the Andes between Chile and Argentina a lot.

The distances in driving interstate in Australia cannot be understated, there is a lot of nothing between Adelaide and Perth, Adelaide and Darwin, Brisbane to Darwin and Perth to Darwin

The most popular runs are from Melbourne to Sydney, Sydney to Brisbane, Adelaide to Melbourne and Melbourne to Brisbane. The Melb-Syd run is freeway (motorway) all the way, boring as bat ####, the road from Sydney to Brisbane is being improved all the time, but will be freeway all too soon. The Meb-Adelaide road is pretty ####, but the worst is Melbourne to Brisbane

Many companies pay by the kilometer (mile) for interstate driving here - wheels no turn - no money

Intrastate driving is where about 85% of freight is moved, obviously inner-city driving is the busiest

How about Perth to Sydney or Brisbane; Perth to Darwin, Perth to Cairns via Alice Springs, etc. Basically cross country? How would one go about getting a visa to truck in Sydney as a foreigner? Do you even see any foreigners trucking there? I know in the USA it's so common to see Indians, Eastern Europeans, Mexicans, etc. on the interstates.
