I actually looked into them earlier this year, thread here
Anyone here work for Versa Cold? (Calgary)

One of the main recruiters, Paul Mann, is ex-Bison also, and we know lots of the same people. He was very straight up with me, and it seemed like an OK job. Mind you, this was before the pay package wars that are going on; so their pay will prob be higher now than what I quoted. They do use PC miller practical miles tho, which is what i'm on with my LTL company. You get paid doorstep to doorstep almost, not city to city with lots of free miles like most bigger places.

If I didn't go LTL, I might have given them a try. Good equipment, no slip seating, very busy, lots of different runs, dedicated runs, city and LCV. Since they are their own customers, I would imagine lots of gravy pin to pin runs (Versacold to Versacold), with good miles. LOTS of California out of Calgary, Meat down, Produce Back.

My only concern with them, is that they are HUGE, like global HUGE. Expect safety and fuel management to be overboard. Mind you I've never worked for a global company, only the bigger Canadian ones; and they sucked.

In summary, if my job came to an end tomorrow, I would prob take my truck over to them, and give it a shot; esp with their new pay package.

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

Canadians an Aussies getting together....didn't see that one coming.

Two of my favorite people though. Got some buddies from down under.

Australians - Who you want in a bar fight.

Canadians - Who you want to help you write polite "I'm sorry for shooting you" notes.

Good folks both are despite my jokes.

Safe travels,

Sirscrapntruckalot - Are there Taco Tuesday's in other countries? If not there should be. Tacos bring nations together.
