Why judge

Im really enjoying driving out here the roads arnt as congested the scenery is super people are friendly and sometimes you can drive to different jobs without seeing a car when you compare it to the UK and the m25 around London on a Friday afternoon when its like a car park its a whole new ball game out here i`ve been back and fore BC on a regular basis and even with all the snow everyone still goes to work where in the UK you sh*t a snowflake and the whole country grinds to a halt canada is better geared up for the winter

He wasn't judging, he was asking!

Big Truck

I'm ASKING (as Mick says),
as it would have been (at one time) a job that would be up my and other guy's streets who have a young family and didn't do the continental work in the UK, so don't really know what its like to be away for 7/14 days at a time.

In common with other people "nights away" living in a truck no matter how good/easy/well paid the "lifestyle", long haul work is just not an option for me and Loblaws looks a good bet for those guys who think along similar lines.

I could easily put up with the monotonous nature of your work back and forth across the TC1 but just a pity Loblaws don't have something similar set up around Calgary or maybe even Nova Scotia on similar money as I just don't fancy Regina/Sask as a place to live.

dustyhoward

Well I don't spend any nights away from home
And living in Regina is actually a lot better than I thought its ok here plenty to do

I`m on my way - had the phone call today offering me a position so my work permit application is going in and we`re coming to Canada

dustyhoward

Congratulations good stuff see you soon well done you will love it here

russjp

Cheers Dusty will hopefully see you around March time

MrYak

Well Done russjp congrats.

Big Truck, Loblaws do have trucks based in Calgary. The work from there is all currently to Alberta so wouldn't qualify as long haul for an LMO.
Nothing to stop you relocating there after sucking it up in Regina for a couple of years.
Regina's not a bad place really.

Congratulations russjp, well done!

I know you have a friend out here but if there is anything we or OH can help you with let us know and we'd be glad to try and help We'll look forward to seeing you in the New Year

dustyhoward

It's good here in Regina people moan about saying stomaching Regina
There is a fair amount to do here and of course there's Regina beach too which is really nice

dustyhoward

Well let's face it BT when are you going to be a man and venture to the wild west or are you going to stay in Belfast and be told what to do by Brussels
Or is the winters just too cold for you

dustyhoward

The job is far from boring

dustyhoward

The roads are clear the scenery is great the wild life is amazing the weather is bizarre keeps things interesting does the weather and to top it off you get paid more than you would ever get paid in the uk
