But Koogs might catch the Loch Nessie flu, which would be funny as he couldnt tell anyone where it came from!

Re: Driving jobs in Canada
Thought I would post this in case anyone was looking for info regarding driving jobs - Bus and Coach:
Fort Mcmurray - Day shifts (Home every night) - 3-4 hour morning run and 3-4 hour afternoon run.
Will train to get licence.
Guaranteed $210.00 per day. Working 24 days on, 4 off, but plenty of overtime if wanted.
In addition, every drivers receives a Fort Mcmurray Living Allowance of $1050.00 per month
In total that equates to around $70-80k per year without OT. Some of the top seniority drivers are on $100-$130k per year.
PM me if you would like any details.

Re: Driving jobs in Canada
I moved out here 7 years ago and married an American women, (still together!)
So for me, life was a little easier, as for Canada, I hear they are looking for drivers, but not sure how you go about doing it.
Trucking here in the U.S. has slowed a lot, despite what you might hear, all the big boys, such as Schneider, J.B. Hunt and so on have cut back on training drivers, freight is tight.....When ever I get back to Stroud, I always buy the U.K. trucking mags, and see adverts for jobs in Canada....Maybe that's where you should start....
I see you have a class two, any experience in a Semi?
Good luck.
Follow the six steps!
