    Hi! I just got my license a week ago. Class1. Nobody wants to hire me. I am living in Montreal. Anyone could help me how to start?

    Read a bunch of my posts, I’ve helped several guys get started. Montreal, best bet is Challenger or Schneider.

    I'm actually almost finished my classes 1 course at a private driving school. Will I have trouble finding employment once I am finished?

    Definitely not, just don't expect top pay right away.
     
    BigHossVolvo Thanks this.

    keep knocking on doors-

    Ive changed careers several times; lack of experience is just one of many hurdles you can expect- but how much experience does a goat herder from the atlas mountains have when he comes here and gets his license ? You have way more advantage from the start: familiarity with the language, rules of the road, experience with driving in winter weather- but look around, what's stopping them from finding work?
    My old co. had a driver with a flipper arm - how the heck do you think he started ?
    You sound like you are also a virgin.
    in other words: it's just you- your attitude.
    Just one week, right ?
    What did you do while you were in the process of getting your license ? Did you contact a few places, maybe ? Save some numbers of trucking companies with Drive for US signage ?
    Life is a contact sport- you got to make those connections yourself, driver
