NEW DRIVER NO EXPERIENCE WHERE TO APPLY??

New driver stay away from bison,or any mege carrier who have driver finish program, thoes are bs rip you off.
I think your best chance is to start with DZ. for a years then you can try to reach out some oo.

 

Hey thanks for the info. Can you recommend some DZ companies that will hire in Toronto GTA areas.

 

I quoted the wrong person and I don't know how to delete this.

 

Going to have to respectfully disagree. I paid for an AZ, not a DZ. If it takes me 1-2 years of being underpaid while soaking in the experiences of OTR driving in an articulated truck hauling different freight, I'm going to do it. I will guarantee when I come out of that 1/2 year contract I'll be a better driver then the guy who drove a straight truck through city streets.

 

Have any of you guys tried the driver agencies? That's how I started back in the 90's. It's a lot of temp work but it's better than nothing. It'll probably be local work and not otr. I remember doing Kingston switches for $100. It's been a long time so I don't know what the agencies offer now.

 

sysco is hiring right now $28 to start, 4 10hr shifts a week lol

 

You'll also wear out your body. Not worth the money.

 

Gfs also hiring @25.50 hourly and with their pay formula in place you could end up making more $28-30/hourly. Don't mind the physical. Def worth it. Also lots of OT.

 

Our dock leadhand went to drive For GFS 7 years ago and still there on a NW Ontario route

 

As previously stated apply for warehouse job with outfit that operates its own trucks. After employer gains confidence in you you'll be rewarded.
