    Hi Guys,
    I am a rookie by all means.
    Got the CDL last year after lost a good paid job and not finding another one for more than 9 months.
    I bought a truck ('99 International), rented a trailer and already start making good money, god bless, I can support my family.
    I am trying to work as a OO under a Canadian Company only because I couldn't find one in US that pays so well a beginner (and I looked for few months now).
    Does somebody knows what this involves?
    I know already a lot of Canadian OO driving under US companies with Canadian owned trucks and US plates.
    I don't know the reverse:
    How an US OO can drive a US truck under Canadian plates?
    I have my own Corp. registered in US if that makes a difference.

    Than you so much even for a small clue.

    BTW - great blog/forum I'm pleasantly surprised.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes you can, equipment licencing is not a problem. As a driver however, you cannot pick up a load in Canada and deliver that same load at another Points in Canada. You have to cross the borser back and forth. BUT, you can, as an American, pick up a load in the US and deliver it within the US. That could work out to your advantage as the Canadians drivers by law are not allowed to. This would also help you to decrease empty miles to get to another load whether it was for delivery in Canada or the USA. Good Lucks to you.

    thank you for your support but yes "I CAN" sounds like myself.
    If canadians can, why not the US OO.

    But how?
    What exactly do I need to be legal and start operating/driving?
    I have no clue and I don't know where to start looking into it.
    I taught somebody in this blog knows from experience how that could be possible.

    thanks again for your support
