    It's 24 hrs off in 14 days and for Canada you would need a 36 hrs reset.

    Seems she likes winter, Claresholm Alberta, I was based there, had 43 F on New Years Eve.
    No thanks!
    I lived in Canada for more than three years, summer was July and August, snow in June and September.
    No thanks!
     
    tinytim, Adrienna Brown and Farmerbob1 Thank this.

    Worth a phone call to find out though.
    Lynden Main Hiring Locations:



      • Alaska
      • Pacific Northwest
      • Texas
      • Here's a map of their freight lanes, but don't know if they use solo drivers for those long runs or not.

    Is there such a thing as border crossing pay? Used to run hopper doubles up there. In the winter I could waste half a day trying to slide my tongue together to get legal for Canada.

    OP, if you want to run Canada look for a reefer outfit. My dad ran trucks to the same place in Calgary for over 40 years.

    Wasn’t there a Colorado based co? I’ve seen them up here but I forget the exact name, something like HVHT in big letters on their vans.

    I swear you must have a cheat sheet with everyone's handle and employer name on it. Am I on it?!

    Sorry y'all I have been driving. Thank you for all the good and helpful responses. And yes, I know that there are more drivers who do NOT wanna go to Canada and therefore does make me desirable. The problem is that all of the companies I have tried thus far do not hire out of Denver.
