    hi there

    I'm just seeing if there are any trucking companies that offer to pay for your trucking school to obtain your class 1 here in the Edmonton Alberta area and are willing to sign a contract to stay with the company for 2-3 years.

    Sanjel Energy out of Acheson will.

    They start you as a field hand and if you have potential they pay to train for your Class 1 MELT with a 6 month retention contract. They will work your butt off though, 15 on, 6 off and hours of service means little to them unless you stand your ground and tell them you will not go outside the Hours of service..

    After that do as you please.

    Could also check TAG logistics, I know they run a Class 1 MELT course so likely have something.

    Yeah, I get that, but, for six months, it pays for your class 1 and you can leave.

    It's what I did to get my class 1. Cost me nothing and after the six months I left lol

    Give TAG a call in Acheson, might be what you are looking for?

    Can leave Sanjel as a last resort kind of option...they are always hiring
