    Good, that's the most important step for finding work in Canada. As for specifically grocery transportation, I'm not sure if any truly dedicated outfits, but places like Sysco and GFS are always hiring drivers who like to work hard.

    Western Grocers has contract carriers that do their grocery hauling to Superstores, Extra Foods and other supermarket chains and restaurants.
    My first tractor trailer job was doing that out of their Emonton warehouse, but they also have one in Calgary.

    Gfs or Sysco. Most of the distribution runs require an lcv endorsement, which you won’t be able to get.

    Groceries in Canada might not be the same as in Australia .. unless you can find a hourly position you may find pay low due to long periods of sitting
