    Tim’s is about the same price for that , it’s ridiculous and now with interest rates continuing to go up . I just had to renew my mortgage at 4.46 % which has raised my payment luckily only $40 a month and i’m seeing banks as high as 6%


    Luckily i’m still getting my 10 - 11 hrs a night but it’s mostly running around picking up empties and then dropping them in our yard the otr drivers are hurting for miles seems like it’s mostly your regular plain old general freight carriers who are slow

    what I don’t get is Iron maiden says MB is slow but yet they’re still posting a ads on indeed and Mb website looking for driver. Why do companies mislead new potential hires if they’re slow and don’t really have any work

    They're expecting it to pick up once summer starts. The thing I wonder is are they telling new guys they may have to go to Oshawa in a year or two if they want to keep their job.

    That’s a really good question and if that’s the case i’m glad i didn’t go to MB I’m in Orangeville and there’s no way I could move to oshawa or to be honest want to . I still remember my schneider days of driving to loblaws Ajax every day and man did that suck . That would truly suck to find a good paying job that’s union just to find out you have to move or look for a new job.


    Once the new Oshawa warehouse is open are they closing the Brampton location

    Isn't the majority of their inbound freight Rail freight - or is that entirely handled by outside carriers? We used to carry the frozen fries into MB that came from out west and it was convenient that their warehouse was right beside the rail yards

    They’re taking some work from Brampton and they’re getting Eastern Ontario that used to be done by Montreal.
