    I see them occasionally here in Houston and haven’t heard anything terrible about them. Wondering if anyone has experience with them out of Texas. How much they pay, what is the work exactly and is it just going to Edmonton and back or are they going to other states/provinces.

    Thanks

    They go all the way to Alaska. Among other places.

    I see they do a lot of work in Alaska. Not just trucking either! I’m confused tho if the drivers in the lower 48 go up to Alaska on the regular or they drop in Edmonton and have Canadians take it up to the Alaska border. Not that they’d have to twist my arm to go up to Alaska.

    Drivers I've run into up north say the trucks have lots of safety stuff on them. I'm guessing they have turnover from all the dairy hauling ads they run.

    What are they hauling down there?

    Your guess is as good as mine. Their address is at the airport but, I never seen any of Lynden trucks.

    My current company has all the ‘safety’ features plus a a glorified barstool. If Lynden can give me better seats and long hauls up north, I’ll keep my complaints related to weather and the Oilers
