Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

yes im all set as soon as they give me the nod,it will be just me going out for the first 12 mths with my wife coming out periodically so we can sort stuff out,place to live etc
it will suit me better as it gives me time to settle in to the job without worrying about everything else.

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

Not true, you can approach another firm and ask for an LMO, then sort out a new TWP to start with them. Unless something has changed.

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

Yes I have had a crap experience with them (where have you been looking for info?)
Why do you think they 'seem' to be the only company who will "support people through the process from Interview to licence to starting"

Any company who wants Temporary Foreign Workers will have to support you all the way to when you drive off in their truck, and some will pay for everything along that path.

Don't mention that you have been on forums at the interview, seriously.

Speaks volumes.

Some do well there, some don't,
Talk to current drivers, find them through facebook... https://www.facebook.com/hrbulletin?fref=ts

Obviously the link takes you to where the positive posters are, so just dig deeper for an up to date balanced view from current and ex drivers.

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

ive just spent 20 mins on it and couldnt find where to go to look,

in your experience what was the problem,if they are like UK fridge companys they want it hard and fast,lots of night running etc.

to be honest as long as they give me a truck with brakes and lights,and pay me what they say they will pay me without trying to stitch me up,and give me the miles im ok with the rest of it.

and if it does not suit me then i shall try and get on with another company if they have LMO for me while im there.

who do you know that is after driver's with the LMo.

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

Be careful with h&r, a mate of mine that worked for them said the Brit drivers get great millage for the 1st 13/14 months then it drops off heavily after they get the $5000 from the authorities. They went through 300 drivers in 1 year while he was there! He was there for 4 years because he had gotten a visa that gave him 10 years access to the US

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

Best BS post of the new year:rofl::rofl:
$5000 ???
300 drivers in 1 year:rofl::rofl::rofl:
he only stayed 4 years because he could go into USA:rofl::rofl::rofl:
:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

Was this the same mate that gave you the info on Alberta PR???

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

@ gremmie, just going on what I was told by a former colleague & I had it confirmed at my interview with h&r that he stayed with them for 4 years. Have seen similar statements on here in the past about h&r having a high turn over of drivers

@ meritor, I've just accepted a job with a Saskatchewan company that said they'd love to recruit for their Calgary depot but that Ab weren't giving out PR, that's why I asked on here in another thread about what's going on with AINP

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

As you may guess I turned down the job offer from h&r

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

H&R or Loblaws :confused::confused::confused::rofl:

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

Once again the H&R debate has started.

I fly out to Calgary on the 27th March to start with H&R. There are lost of horror stories and pissed off drivers. But like all large companies there are some who love it and some who don't.

I don't form any opinions of people or employers until I have experienced it first hand.

I have started a blog for those that are interested in following my journey.
you can find my blog at http://littlegeordie.blogspot.co.uk/

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

hmmm ive just read through all the comments on here and i have heard that H&R have gone and do go through a lot of drivers,some move on to other companies other just go back home,but im currently waiting to hear if ive got an interview with them in march over here in the uk,i have spoken to a few past ,present drivers and they all tell a different story ,i guess if we starting at the bottom in a new country and our expectations arent to high then we will survive..lol.:-)

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

If your a worker you'll fit in and it will work out for you, if your the sort of driver that likes to be in cafe's chewing the fat you'll find it hard! I work for Westcan out of Calgary, both me and my family love it out here!!

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
 

yeah thats allwe want to do Smudger75 is work and earn a decent living and get our pr and build a life out there,and no no chewing fat in the cafe...just maybe the odd bacon sandwich along the way hey...and whats it like on for westcan? :-))
