Thanks guys. Iv been thinking of joining the army but im way to out of shape lol. My old boss was going to pay for my A-Z and i was going to work for him when i turned 19 but he shut the shop down before. Im asking some friends and family that are truck drivers if they know of any companys that would pay for my A-Z and i work for them like you said. But i havent found anything yet. And 2 family members said that if i can get my A-Z i will probably have a job. One is with bison out of alberta. And the other is challenger in cambridge. Just need to get that stinking A-Z lol Thanks again for the help
need advice

Be careful with Challenger, they have a habit of saying that they are always hiring, and also have a habit of saying that they hire new guys, but those are what you should consider flexible truths. I'm not saying don't try for them, just don't count those chickens before they've hatched. $8,000 is a lot for a course that doesn't put you any farther ahead than a kid in dad's truck with a few months of experience. My suggestion is as above, take a hard look at the armed forces: http://www.forces.ca/en/job/mobilesupportequipmentoperator-89#video-0
Who knows, maybe you'll enjoy getting in shape and serving our country with conviction and purpose. -
Hi everyone,
I have 3 questions, thank you in advance for any respond.
1) Does exist any limitation (or restriction) for size of trailer in Canada? Or I can go with both trailers (53 or 48) to any Canadian provincy?
2) What is different between 2-axles and triaxle in the back of trailer?
3) For driving between Toronto and Vancouver - which road is the best to
use and why?
Thank you. -
2) One axle.
3) The paved one. It's smoother and faster. -
#1. Get a job that will pay you enough money to buy a bus ticket to Alberta.
#2. Apply at TriCan, Sanjel, CalFrac, Shclumberger, Haliburton.
#3. Take whatever job they offer you.
#4. Show that you want to work hard and don't let up.
Within a few months you'll be fully trained truck driver and you can go work wherever.
Don't be a #####. Do it! -
Thank you for your funny respond. I know my english is not the best,
I am working hard on it ... give me at least a chance ......
But I really needed know a respond
Which road (paved
) truckers usually using for trip Toronto - Vancouver? Is better go through US or stay on CA roads (in what conditions they are ?)
About different between 2 and 3 axles - I asked, because I need to know, before I will buy the trailer, what is better ....... -
I can't give alot of advice on specific routing (I don't travel very far within Canada), but it would probably be the Trans-Canada. Going through the US is NOT legal, unless an American truck takes it part of the way.
As for the tandem vs. tridem question, since I'm assuming you are keeping this domestic, I'd personally go for the tridem, rather then the tandem, it can take more weight. Just avoid spread axles. Those aren't very well liked out west.bobina Thanks this. -
Typical "shoot from the hip" incorrect answer from a person that knows absolutely nothing about cross border traffic!
YES, you can take the shipment across the US and do an "in-transit" bond. You would have to be a "US Customs" bonded carrier to do this. The only detriment to this is the potential lost time waiting at the border on both ends.bobina Thanks this. -
any company i've worked for haven't done in-transit moves since 9/11. us customs won't allow it any more.
-
Really, i I think "most" quit doing them because of the "potential" for time loss due to two border crossings. Not "allowed" as you put it...I love to see proof...not calling you a liar just wanting factual proof.
