question hiring overseas / new graduate

I started on farm in sask. I would say it was the best learning experience I could've had. With a little luck the farm your working at is big enough go employ u year round. Down side right now there is no grain moving on the prairies.

 

No money in vans or reefers. Just a heads up

 

Farm work is good experience. You learn a lot. The van companies may not recognize it though. One thing to remember though, those farm plates are also known as freedom plates because you get away with a lot more on a farm truck in Saskatchewan than on a commercial vehicle.

As for getting hired elsewhere, if Saskatchewan doesn't work out for you, try next door in Manitoba. Heard a couple of guys on the radio the other day who were brought in from Jamaica to drive truck here.

 

Lucky you how did you manage to get an LMO job on a farm I was under the impression that was seasonal work ' your probhably going to be pulling super -B trailers lots of company's in the neighbouring states will hire you with super b experience ' good luck

 

Seasonal?? Cows get milked daily.

 

There's so much grain on the Canadian prairies this year that they don't have enough railcars to haul it and the farmers have no place to store it. They are hauling all winter long. With a lot of the big farms, they haul all winter anyways, but this year is crazy because the crops were so huge. Saskatchewan has been importing a lot of Europeans to fill farm, potash and oil/gas positions as well. The province is booming.
