I've hung around because there was so much negatvity about moving to Canada as a Truck driver when I was planning the move. So basically I wanted to prove all the doubters that it can be done. Although I aint saying it was easy !

There is a spell checker on here, its on the bottom RHS when you are composing a message. Do not bother using it though I much prefer the hard test of deciphering your messages!
It is a pity that there are not more truckers from over there on here. I really appreciate the "old sweats" on here.
Even people who regularly post pick up tips etc as they go through the process and as I have seen time and time again you get a good bit of banter and sometimes an answer as well to your questions
So thanks to one and all!

I have 9 months still to push then I will go for it. Its thanks to this site and forum that I have so many avenues to follow up. I have already forwarded my CV to numerous companies and had a few answer.
I think come the end of Mar I will have a real good go and will be looking then to set my targets!
But I couldnt have done this much without this forum and the regular posters on here!

They are still around, reading the forum from time to time. But most people dont want to log onto the trucking section, of an immigration forum, and see threads like this. (which in the past week there has been many)

If they want to see threads like this, they would go into the dedicated areas of the said website and talk jibber jabber there - leaving this one for trucking only threads and information.

But Im no Moderator, and thats just my opinon
