Post HGV Driver

Ive seen a advert for H&R Transport looking for drivers in Alberta, and they interviewing in Newcastle in September.

Does anyone as any info or advice on this and driving in Canada

It says .40 a mile and $25 each drop.

Is it good money?
Is it very busy work?
Do I sleep in wagon even on my weekly rest or is it b&b?
What is the work like and is it all drive drive drive?
Is it busy all year round or is there busy times and times i earn nowt?

Any other advice will be grateful
Also looking for contacts of people so if i go over there i have friends there

Thanks again

I'll leave this one here, but you might also want to ask in the trucking specific forum, where the canadian trucking contingent often hang out.
