    If you want to stay just in Canada and you have over a year's experience,try J&R Hall out of Ayr,Ontario. They have terminals out west and run all across Canada from east to west. I think they run mostly teams,but may have single operators too. Nice equipment too-Kenworth T-600,660's.:thumbup:

    Volvo 780,

    Does your wife have her CDL and if so how long has she driven for? If not you may have trouble finding employment as a team,unless she has some experience.Now if she has as much as you do to start out with,1000 miles per day shouldn't be a problem to do if the freight is there for a team run. Mileage as you know per month all depends on freight and how long you want to stay out for as a team. J&R Hall as far as a carrier,I have heard nothing but good things about them. Very family oriented and very safety minded. Don't know too much about Bison teams,but you can bet you'll be doing all of North America with them. Wereas J&R doesn't do the states.
    Mountain experince they'll want too!

    yes thank you. We can run with Bison as an O/O super single and stay in Canada, so will will do that. They said we will get around 16,000 miles a month. My wife has the same drive time as me. And no we will have no trouble finding work thanks.

    Good luck with Bison. They are blatant liars when it comes to the promises it gives the poor suckers who sign on with them. Here is BC we often see Bison O/O parked and known cut-rate companies pulling Bison trailers. They book loads, take their cut, and get a cut rate trucker to haul the load-cheaper than having to pay the O/O a decent mileage rate. Liars, cheats and thieves, big time.
