Hi there I recently passed my class 1 in red deer and I am now looking to get a long haul trucking job. Does anyone know decent companies with an lmo in Edmonton area that are now hiring and who to steer clear of

You would probably get a better response if this was posted in the trucking forum. Doubtless a mod will be happy to move it for you. Good luck anyway.

Well done mate.

Did you find it hard? I'm thinking of doing it just to add another little string to my bow. Ive got a 4 unrestricted at the mo.

Well done.I found this site on kijiji http://www.ilabour-market.com/ its says it has all LMO jobs available on one site,there are some trucking companies there.I drive out of Winnipeg so cant really telll you who is good,bad or ugly ,hopefully someone from Edmonton area can help.

Thanks Neil that site is great londonuck I found the test ok once I got my head around the gear changingjust had to put in the study after a days work which was a killer but it paid off

No problem.Also sometimes on kijij companies advertise trucking jobs with LMOs ,if you dont get any replies from Edmonton driver private message me and I will try and help you out ok.

That's great Neil thanks. I've applied to many in the past week so

McDougal and Loadstar both hire foreign drivers. Edmonton 76t Ave and34th St.,
Westcan, Northern Industrial Carriers,, Manitoulin Transport
These are companies I got from Edmonton drivers who are doing LMOs.

Cheers mate I haven't heard anything yet from anyone so I will get in touch with thoshow long have you been over here and what's Manitoba like? We're in red deer at the moment but the wife wants to be near a bigger city

If you have just been sending emails it might be better to telephone them.I came to Canada in 2007 ,I got my PR in 2010 and I live in Mexico for 6 months then come back and work in the summer.I had a house in Winnipeg ,its ok place,its where I go back .The downtown area is not too great and winters are just brutal but on the plus side housing is cheaper and there are jobs here.If I were you I would stay in AB.I thought Red Deer is near a big city,Calgary and Edmonton!?

stoney46

Yeah edmonton is about an hour away from red deer so we're hoping to move there once I find a job. Mexico for 6 months sounds good. I've heard downtown in most places is a bit shady but the wife will do the homework to find somewhere decent. Thanks for all your help

Good luck with the job hunting and the move.
