Couple fleets run freight west and cattle back to ontario, hyndman or hutton, try those. for flats you would be running a B train, not alot of them running canada only, could try mackinon in guelph or kelsey trail trucking near barrie, you might be best to stay local for first year or so, starting out with B train flats running all over canada could be more then you can handle

Your a very narrow minded not just about age but about people in general.. "he will become depressed very quickly" or "but not OTR across Canada".. Are you depressed what your doing and thing everyone will be the same as you...?? Not everyone who does OTR become depressed some people out there LOVE doing OTR old and young.. It all depends on what your are like as a person... I did OTR and it wasn't for me so I went local, that doesn't mean I think everyone will not like OTR.. Who knows maybe he will hate it maybe he won't but it's not very nice to discourage him... Also what makes you think he can't get OTR Canada, do you have any proof of this cause I just see you saying a lot but not backing it up.. I clearly stated I worked for Muskoka and one of the guys was 19 or whatever and he was going all over the place... So your statement holds no ground....
Rather then discouraging the young guy, why not be more positive with him....CanadianVaquero and truckon Thank this. -
Excellent post Gov't Trucker.
I'm not a young guy but I was told the only way to get into trucking was to go to school, work for a company that has puts you on a forced march for a year blah blah blah.
None of that is true. You can do it on your own whether you're young or old. It just takes a little ambition. -
Things have changed since the 90s. Schneider won't even piss in your direction unless you're 25. And they will hire someone with 6+ demerit points... The only way you'll get a job is maybe for an o/o who is willing to give you a shot.
