I was on for Big Freight for nearly 5 years. Its hard work with lots of tarping and multi-drop loads. But you do get the chance to see all of North America. The last Brit that I know to apply to BF was told that they would get him an LMO when he had his Canadian License. He eventually went to Searcy's.

Thanks guys, Just got a message from Searcys, they are only after owner operators at the minute. I will have a look at Triline. Thanks again.

Cheers Neil, been onto Searcy's. They get there LMOs through Bison, who apparently are having a bit of trouble getting some new LMOs at the minute.

yeah Bison bought them over a wee while ago.I would suggest if you get offered an LMO from whoever ,take it then later move on to something better.
