    People have to go through hell and learn all sorts of complex things and they can't even make what a truck driver makes.
    Driving a truck isn't easy but some defintely easier than other things in this world... like IT/computers. complex and peanuts pay

    Biggest problem i see with roll off job postings is everyone wants roll off experience not just truck driving experience which brings up the age old problem how do i get that experience . Some will just want 1-2 years driving experience which you could get driving a box truck doing local deliveries but pay will not be the same . Lucky to make $25 a hr driving a box truck

    If you're in Toronto I'd leave. Cheaper cost of living just about anywhere else in the country.

    That's true but when they see I have a bunch of DZ experience and then roll off truck training it might be worth it. Or i might even get lucky someone will just hire me with a lower salary

    Probably costs half as much to live as the Toronto area too.
