    I currently live in Belleville, an hour and half east of Toronto. I would prefer to stay near family but to be completely honest I'm willing to move where the money is, regardless where that is in Canada. It's all about that bottom dollar nowadays.

    Just make sure you buy the correct spif axle configuration in Ontario. Plenty of non spif units for sale that job sites won’t use due to reduced weights.

    Good point.
    And each province has its own regulations.

    What we run in BC is different from the trucks right next door in Alberta even.

    Even in the Lower Mainland vs the Interior. They seem to love those transfer dumps down there.

    Those never made sense to me.

    I guess if someone gave me one free i might take it, but sure wouldn't spend my money on them.

    You should see some of the weird configurations they use out here. IMO BC has way nicer dump truck and logging truck configurations than Alberta.

    What they don't say is you almost need Alberta $$$$ to afford to live in some places there lol.

    Where abouts in BC are you? We are in the Okanagan and feel the same but getting drivers is always the issue.
