Hi all have been a trucker for 15 yrs+ last five as a car transporter driver

Been thinking of the 'Big Move' for a while my question is

Does anyone know of a Car transporter company that hires Brit's

Cheers

Very bad move at the moment I have a few friends who drive car transporters for a living and every one of them is being laid off next week.

GMC have temporarily stopped production and the others have scaled back by huge amounts.

hrbie

Thanks for the reply but i was thinking more of Canada as its nigh on impossible to get a sponsor in US
i do believe its the same all over for the manufacturers stopping production

Youre flogging a dying horse there pal... look elsewhere in the industry

Patrick Hasler

And most cars in Canada come from the USA i think you will find

hrbie

One can but try. I have already lined up an interview with Siemens

Gremmie

They dont to my knowledge to Auto transport

Patrick Hasler

I think you are confused with the European company that haul cars ?

Not here sadly

hrbie

hi hrbie
my OH was a transporter driver for over 10 yrs upto a couple of years ago, now trains the drivers to load etc

we looked for transporter companies, mainly in Ontario, and found it quite hard to get any info, a lot of companies don't seem to have websites, certainly didn't find any that were offering PNP/PR etc. we also didn't see that many transporters on the road when we did our recce in Oct 2007. However, it did seem they do more covered transporters over there so wouldn't have noticed them so much!
when i get home I'll see if I've still got any of the links i found at the time.

how do you fancy strapping down cars in -40degrees though??

out of interest who do you currently work for in the UK?

Who wants to strap anything down in -40, but someone will have too, hence its only us desperate enough to get out of the UK that are going for these jobs

[QUOTE=dinger24;7233247] it may be -40 but think about the long hot summers of +30 and add in the humiditity it feels more like +40
