Canadian companies for newbee?

Both Yanke & Bison are good for starting out if you wish to go OTR right away. If you want to stay closer to home you might want to check with a more local company like Ridsdale. They have offices in both Saskatoon & Regina & may be able to give you more experience without having the hassles of border crossing right off the get go. Also places like Yanke & Bison will require you to get a FAST card, etc which will for now expidite your border crossings, but eventually you will have to have a passport.

Most companies will take you with little experience provided your driving record is clear & you can pass the criminal records check, & drug testing.

Hope this helps some.

 

Of that I can't help you... I just know that when I got mine, that's one thing they has billions (seemed like LOL) of questions about. My suggestion being you are not that far from the border is to run down to Portal & ask them, they should be able to give you the straight goods there.

But crossing with freight you have to remember is a completely different ball of wax...I've seen loads get held for DAYS cause something wasn't right with the paperwork...reason #1 why I run NORTH now instead of South!

 

As a beginer you can try Arnold Bros., I believe they still have "In Cab Training Program", which is a lot of help.

 

i was with them for 5 years out west here and they were good to me and yeh they do still have a few guys doing team training. Get a hold of Murray in recruiting and he'll get you filled in.
