Unfortunately I live on Vancouver Island, so a lot of these local jobs are not available. I have looked at some of them, but I have also seen those dedicated runs to be night work. Might as well do long haul ... having a consistent night run is no different when it comes to not seeing your family.
As for out of province, I have been and still looking. So far I look at AB and Sask, but, sadly most of the companies hiring in Alberta are again these shady East Indian outfits.
One thing that I have noticed with companies that deliver to BC but don't have yard or parking do not hire folks from here. The biggest reason is insurance costs.
Oddly enough I had a recruiter from Triple Eight contact me, but I have heard some shady stuff with them as well.
Cheers

It’ll be tough finding carriers to get you over to the island. Might have to park as close as you can and board the boat yourself.
Trappers Transport has been very desperate for drivers lately. They might be willing to work with you.Sirscrapntruckalot Thanks this. -
This is also why I am getting into driving, more job security and get me off this dam island! =)

QUOTE="Bodhi, post: 10753758, member: 293019"]Thanks for that, appreciate it. I do have a couple leads in Calgary and one in both Saskatoon and Regina. The nice thing with that is I am then able to just fly back and forth for now.

Nice. Best of luck to you. -
Ray and I both agree (we’ve worked for most of the big companies in Canada between the two of us, except ERB) that IHaul is about the best, and if we can’t work here; we’re done OTR.
Triple 8 is a disaster man, they also have cameras. Trappers is desperate, cause no one will work for their slave wages/free anymore. I don’t think I know anyone who worked there, and didn’t take them to court over not getting paid.
Key West (Based in Langley) is rolling hard in the Western US, new equipment, guys seem happy.Ol'Shusquatch, Phantom Trucker and skipgears Thank this. -
