Good morning all,
I'm not exactly sure how to start this off, but here it goes. I recently (Summer 2010-Winter 2011) went to Ontario Truck Driving School, London Ontario campus. I have DZ, Skid-steer, Forklift, and Dozer. However, I don't have any experience. I guess you could say I chose this industry because I've always had an interest in Trucks and heavy equipment. I enjoy driving trucks, and I know that it's the career for me.
I live in the country, and although I do have my own vehicle gas is dear out here and income is a pittance. I'm a good 45 minutes from either London or Sarnia and a good 2 1/2 hours from Windsor and 3 or more from Toronto. As far as jobs go there are lots of construction companies where I am but it seems to be the same old story at every one of them that I've applied at: You need more experience.
I get the same reaction at places I've applied to in local cities. I'm posting here because I'm stumped. I don't know where else to turn. I've tried applying online, in person, over the phone. Nothing is working out. Like many people who've just graduated trucking school, I'm just looking for a chance to start out in the industry and I'm willing to do anything.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
