Getting into the industry

I would use the states help as well and stay away from company paid training.

 

Company paid programs is mostly a myth, they get their money back by deducting from your pay check or paying you lower wages. If you go thru a state sponsored program try to get the best one possible with low instructor to student ratio, do your research.

 

No, but someone has to do it! Some drivers I worked with loved going to Canada because they had mistresses in those strip joints. They like me because I didn't go, so that was more Canada runs for those dirty old men.

 

Because not all truckers/future truckers can be smart?

 

Stay away from company schooling at all cost ,they will suck the life out of you and you will be contracted to pay them back to the tune of 5000k or more no matter what or worse they could even talk you into a L/P ....it's a win win for them , NOT YOU ....take the state route ,that's 5k in YOUR pocket NOT THEIR POCKET

 

You do get experience and an "IN" at the company if you do it through them, but superflow is mostly right. If you want independence both financially and professionally go state.

 

About 30+ years ago, a French Canadian from Quebec often told me stories about St. Catherine Street in Montreal. From what he told me, it was quite the "red light" district.

Does this still hold true or has St. Catherine Street changed over the years?
