Im coming alone not sure what part of Canada yet i have been looking at Edmonton AB and Kelowna BC but here Kelowna is very expensive. I think i will have to see what job offers i get in what areas!
I was thinking i would start the ball rolling the end of next year want to get my sell debt free and more driving experience as only been driving on the road for two years. I dont have a house to sell!
I want to do long haul i would like to get into heavy haulage but i dont mind. I will do what you said in that link send my CV to lots of companies.
Cheers James
