Have a look at this link for starters Billy ray, If you want to ask one of the truckers in Canada a question by PM you have to post at least 3 posts, which you have now

Also try and be specific about which province, whether you prefer tankers, roping and sheeting (tarping), reefers etc.

There's a search button above type in "truck driving jobs Canada", that should help a bit.
For more info about Canada use the wiki button, also above, there's loads of info on there about finding work, provinces etc, people have posted some really interesting and informative stuff on there.

Good luck

Rosie

Yeah, i agree. we don't want to put anyone off with sarcastic replies, there is a lot of good info on here, in amongst all the BS. It can be overwhelming to anyone coming here for the first time and we ALL should try to make it a pleasant experience.

Oh! I can see the monies not that great but whats the quality of life like ?.. What's with the adjusting the brakes and all that Malarky... seem's so much more complex than here ?..

By the way thanks for all the comments, Humour and help. Good to know that I can nget a civil answer to what must seem like a stupid question to people that have been doin this a while

Respect

andy_sheila

our QOL is great, so much to see and do around here, contrary to popular belief, i can earn a decent wage and get time to spend it.
brakes are no biggie, in reality you probably won't have to touch them yourself but if you do........ there's just one nut (no, not bt) tighten it all the way (clockwise) then slacken off half a turn.
You will need to learn how the airbrake system works but again, it's no biggie, the test is easy. In NS its 20 multiple choice questions and you have to get 16 right.
There are no stupid questions Billy.

billy ray

Hey mate enlighten me and tell me what the game is and how you earn a descent wage then ... I know that if I do get over there I'll be more interested in gaining residency than anything to be honest, but you have to earn a fair crust right ?..
