    Anybody have any feedback on TransX out of Calgary? Good or bad company to work for?

    talked to a few of their drivers when I've been looking for work. sounds like run of the mill large company. easy to get lost and just be a number

    I worked for them for about a year....I had no problems at all until I had a heart attack...A year later when I tried to go back they told me that I no longer 'qualify' for a job there....go for it but don't have a heart attack...Oh Yeah....Stay away from the CanX part...They have a couple dispatchers that will eat your butt

    I was looking at those. Unused... nice.

    Yeah, none of the service companies are going to do much hiring... if any, for most. Primarily they're just trying to stop the bleeding.

    I'm working for sanjel right now, based out of red deer. I was hired in july, and yeah things are pretty slow. The last 2 months haven't been that bad, but with pay cuts it definitely sucks.

    They shut down the "greenhand" school in Calgary recently. One of the trainers that was there when I went through is now an operator again.
