Hi Koog,You seem to be in the know,have you or anybody out there heard of Ideal Driver Training,of Winnipeg.They recruit Brit drivers,and also handle the driving re-test.Need to part with some hard earned soon,so it would be nice if the cash did`nt vanish before I get over.

Hi Mick,
Trucking from Canada to the USA, I think it is whats called an I-94, your hiring company will tell you about this, you take you passport to the USA?Canada broder on your first trip down to the USA, When you pay US$6.00, you will get your I-94 that will be stapled into your passport and needs to be renewed every 3 months.

Happy Travelling

Shazza151 is correct.

But have a look here:

All about border crossings as you can see there is no need to apply for one from the UK just do it at the border when initially crossing.

At the top of the Trucking forum thereare sticky threads to try and fill people in with all this info so I'd have a look through them they might help.

Cheers Dave

Hi Koog,The agency fleece me for £750.00 Then get me a job,when I get over thereand sign up with the Trucking Company,they get a second 750,from me.Good work if you can get it!

Yes mate, playing on peoples desperation to get to Canada.
The company I worked for sorted my test/training out and sorted all my paperwork out.
That was July '06 though. The people who have moved to Canada more recently will probably have a better take on what's happening these days. I'm sure you can still do it without using an agency though.
