Ayr Motor Express charging $500 application fee!
Hey guys, I was thinking of going over from scotland to canada to work for ayr motor express, but have been informed that they charge a fee of $500 up front to process your application. I think ill need to look for another potential employer, not that theres many out there at the moment.

The application for an LMO/WP. Apparently you get the $500 back once you complete a year. I guess it seems like they are trying to make the drivers stay linger knowing they get that back.
Not for me anyway, I managed to get my lmo and im heading out to work for westcan bulk carriers in LLoydminster, AB.

I think a lot come over ill prepared, both financially & mentally, expecting to fully up to speed with in a few months. It takes about 1 year before you can expect to be on a parr with the locals.
