Just a Rant!

Have you tried Challenger Motor Freight, J&R Hall or Arnold Brothers?

 

All them, they lowered their standards to match immigrant 3rd world lows. It's really sad actually that they would bow to profit over merit and character. Yes, it's still better working for them over Punjabi, but not by much I'm afraid.

Trucking is something we all need to begin realizing as a thing of the past and get on with different career prospects, different ideas, or other ventures. We all need to branch OUT of trucking, however difficult that may be, it appears to be a necessity at this point and future. Godspeed.

 

Anyone & everyone can rant but nothing will ever change for the better but rather for the worse. The ignorance with the Majority in Trucking now a day has become the norm amongst a lot of larger Trucking Companies in Canada from the Owners acceptance of it. Accountability from companies & lack of respect for a driver who actually has skills and coordination is what's not noticed. Alot of the New drivers have a phone glued to their head even though it's illegal a good majority do it here in Canada.

Some blame Automatic trucks whiles most blame the lacking immigration laws letting the flood gates open to max. On the 400 series highways there is at least 2 to rollovers or accidents occurring weekly if not daily. Alot of the New Canadian drivers don't even have the respect to thank another driver for flashing on a lane change. The GTA plus surrounding areas have become the worse for this.. As for a job that still considers good drivers I'd recommend unionized ones such as Pepsi, Coke, UPS etc. They are still looking for skilled safe qualified drivers who communicate properly.

 

I can relate. Seem to have landed in a place that is leaning in that direction. If you don't play the politics and then show ability to actually think for yourself, you will likely be penalized.
An aszhat bunch in dispatch are a big help. Every dog has it's day. They must be given the message and will be in the end.

 

Those are all effects of deregulation ^^^

Recently BC also deregulated the hairstyling/dressing industry, so now any monkey with a beard trimmer can be a barber! No school or certificate necessary. So now you see plenty foks walking around with jaggy ridiculous haircuts like a racoon took a crap on their head, but they paid $10 for it so it's all good. Race to the bottom continues.

For stability and fairness in any industry there needs to be valid regulation along with unionship.

 

The general freight and reefer categories of trucking are mostly a mess, I’ll give you that, but there’s still decent jobs that pop up in BC that aren’t run by riff raff. Most are in the bulk sector.
Recently I’ve seen ads for: Arrow Reload, Westcan Bulk, Lomak (up in PG), Vedder: AB/BC B-Train tank, Mullen Trucking: Surrey to Kamloops dedicated part run, $320/night.

Another solution is, widen your carrier selection by seeking out companies from out of town/province that regularly pass through or go to your area. (That could get you home).

 

Must be a long spiral down the drain. Remember all my relatives complaining about trucking going down the tubes 25 years ago!
