Canadian good and bad trucking companies

You 'Heard'.
It is almost two years since you posted this garbage and Andy Stieva Trucking Ltd. is still in business and recently passed a DOT audit!

They are hard working folk trying to make a living. You might try the same!

 

Sometimes it's better to keep quiet. You just brought forward a sleeping post so everyone can see it!

On the up side, their safestat score is not bad. Vehicle Oos- good, driver Oos- average

 

Dumddumd quit being so nice, we don't want all of Ontario moving out here.


There's a few guys on here however that I would grladly to put to work or help them get work if they wanted to move. Some will never leave the motherland no matter what.

 

Are there any companies up north willing to train newbies? I just got my class 1 learners. Will be working on my air brake endorsement real quick. OR do they all require experience?

Thanks

 

You will need your air brakes before you can even think about your class 1.

If you are looking to get hired, you'd probably be hired as a swamper or dock worker first. Especially since you don't have your 1 yet.

 

Wow! A perfect match for me! Temper tantrums! lol jk

 

Young fella, I left sask. and went to F ort Mac in 1964, stayed for 3 years until GCOS (Suncor) WAS COMPLETED. tHERE WAS NO ROAD TO Fort Mac at the time. 12 miles past Plamondon was just a pickup trail. Took 6 1/2 days to drive the chain drive Sterling from Edmonton. And that's with a D7 on the back of the 12 wide 16 wheeler. We moved just under 14, 000 truck loads to build that plant. Hell, I was towed on Franklin avenue by 2 D8's moving a vessel because the bypass hadn't even been built yet. Fort Mac was a great place to live, only 1200 people there at the time. after 3 years it had jumped to 6,500.

 

The things you've done in your life amazes me lol

 

I've enjoyed every minute so far Nathan.

 

I'm always impressed by how well you remember it all too. Do you keep a journal?
