Agritel transportation, Beausejour ,Manitoba. They have recently hired uk drivers. They have a website, google "agritel transportation", they are an excellent company. Good luck.

Westcan seem to have reasonable track record as regards immigrants however keeep in mind the fact that they only operate in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan so you won't be seeing the US.

I started off in Canada with Big Freight from Steinbach MB but I don't think the recruit from the UK now.
Nowadays I work for a small reefer company and in all honestyI can say that I am better looked after than anywhere I have ever worked before including when I was back in the UK.
Unfortunately for you, we only have seven company owned trucks and in the four years that I have worked here we have never had to advertise for a driver.
700 pound sterling is around $1,000 and is not impossible to take home for a good week at a good company although I doubt such a company would have to recruit drivers from overseas.
Saying that I know drivers who work for Bison transport, Winnipeg who say they earn that much and Bison used to recruit from the UK.Last edited: Jul 1, 2012

Hi thanks for all your help I did contact Bison as I spoke to one of there drivers when I was in Canada. They are not curently looking for any drivers.When you first went to Canada did you have to pay for your own clas 1a or did the company pay for you. Westcan expect me to pay for it which on one hand is not a bad thing at least I wont be tied, I know after 6 months the company would apply for nominated imigration which I know would take a couple of years would I then be able to do short haul or would I have to remain doing long haul as long as I work in Canada. Also you mentioned you changed jobs is that just a case of applying for a new job or did you hve to change detais on your nominated imgration or did you appy for full imigraton before leaving UK. Sorry to keep asking you questions and I am so greatfull for all your help so far. I just want t make esure I apply corectly first time round. Once again thank you for all your help.
kindest Regards, & keep on trucking Nigel -

I have never worked for peanuts in 20 years of trucking and I never will.
No disrespect intended but I have often been very surprised by the wages and conditions many born and bred Canadian guys have been prepared to put up with.
