I found this new addition to the "wiki" a very interesting and informative read, despite not wanting to be a truck driver! Nice one guys!

(Thinking of truck driving as a potential career Gay?)

Some of us could and would take offence at that as not all truckers are fat slobs who sit in laybys eating big butties but no offence taken here thou. Thanks all the same as i do see where you are coming from but i think that this is a view of the past as most truck drivers i know and i work with over 40 in our depot and maybe 100 plus throughout our company are your average build say 5'9" and around the 13 to 15 stone mark so not exactly slim but not huge like some.
All the best,
LOAFY...

omg! you just descibed my OH!! lol

thanks for the thread gremmie, and thanks for the links everyone

i've had a quick look thru the links and still drawing a blank for car-transporter companies in ontario (searching on auto haulers, car transporters etc) does anyone have any more suggestions?! i'm sure they must transport cars around the country by road as well as rail?

many thanks, kristi

Hi Thundercat600,

Click in the dark blue on the left hand side Links, then at th top of page click Carrier Weblinks.Then click in the dropdown fields Carcarrier and then the search button. And Boob's you'r uncle 6 car transporters. Hope this helps for starters.

fantastic! still don't understand why these (except Mackies) ever came up when looking for car transporters!
cheers

thundercat600

and still non of them are general car-transport companies (like Inchcape Automotive, ECM, ANSA, Walon et al in the UK)

they seem to do private customer car moving (and mostly in covered wagons)

think we'll maybe need to suss out the car manufacturers in the area, they must transport the manufactured cars to dealers etc somehow!!

Nice 1, I've had my HGV licence for 11 years now and can't wait to team with my OH in Canada. Just another couple of years then our 2 youngest will be 18
