Challenger Motor Freight?

If they're offering you a job, I would take it. Your age and lack of experience are big strikes against you. You can't drive in the U.S., so you'll get lots of Canadian experience. I don't image you will have a problem getting paid by Challenger.

 

You could go and party for 3 weeks...

Challenger is a good entry level trucking company. Good place to start, and move on to higher paying shop elsewhere after you gain some experience.
What city are you close to? Cambridge I take it? If you're closer to Toronto or namely Alliston there's plenty of companies doing dry van auto parts work. The runs would likely be Chatham or Windsor as destinations and Alliston or Barrie on the other end. They also do the opposite with drivers living down my way around chatham/Windsor. Again same thing. Pay kind of low, but job is easy.

 

I've been at CMF as an O/O since 1986 and while they are far from perfect you could do far worse elsewhere.If your just starting out I would recommend them as a good starting point to get some experience and then move on if your not satisfied.As far as pay goes they aren't the best but also far from the worst.Boss notified everyone that pay increases will be in effect April 1st so we'll wait and see how far he opened his wallet.

 

I worked for Bison in the DFP program, and I currently pull TransX trailers working for a 3PL power only contractor. Out of the 3, I would probably take Challenger over Bison or TransX if going company. Stick it out until you have 2 years +, then look into a company like ERB/J&R Hall/TEAMS Transport etc etc.

Don't let any of the fancy marketing materials at Bison or TransX lure you away from Challenger before 2 years, Their both the same or worse. Best advice I can give, is don't take it personally, just know you are a number on a screen. So as long as the direct deposits are coming, you're getting the sleep you need, and they keep your truck moving/running, you will be fine.

 

How low is low? I have no idea what most companies pay. Their ads always state competitive wages..competitive to what? Or paid weekly when they really mean "paid weakly"

 

There is a user here looking for a driver in toronto to do Toronto to Montreal round trips. @haider99
