Loblaw

Re: Loblaw
Started my mentor runs this week and had my first drive with a 'pike' today and was well impressed with how well it holds the road, should just add that my shift lasted 25 and a half hours due to the roads freezing up and then being closed past Virden, which is only a 3 and a half hour drive from Regina lol. On the plus side we used a snow day for this situation meaning we get paid normal rate for 9 hours and time and a half for the rest of it, result !!!

Re: Loblaw
My five years in Canada so far?
Or the twenty odd I did in the UK, East and West Europe, Scandinavia, North Africa and Asia before I came here?
Or maybe something about road testing and writing for trucking magazines, which I still do?
Or even something about the development testing I've done for truck manufacturers?
Narrow it down a bit and I'll be glad to share with you, I promise I won't use any big words

Re: Loblaw
I could share my experiences of being a Transport Manager and MD of a International road freight company sending out vehicles all over Europe, but that would be boring and they didnt camp

Re: Loblaw
Can I just say I've dealt with five year olds better behaved. An think ya all need to get a life instead keep writing on ere the job at Loblaw is what it is an this page has had it's time now. The people working there are happy an if not will go home but your all adults believe it or not an you choose your destination! Had some good advice from this thread an has been nice but god they say women are catty! Just hope I don't meet some of you truck drivers! No offense meant. All I can say no matter what people say about Regina if you have done your research it's an ok place, not for everyone but I like it.:-

The most fundamental knowledge in the majority of peoples opinions also tends to come from a "mate" or "friend" and so on.
At the end of the day this posting has turned into something negative really for the people involved the website and the company too.

Re: Loblaw
Nobody really knows on this forum what the job involves , hopefully more info might be forthcoming now another user is up and running . Loblaws don't do things half cocked without doubt , and the guys I know working there are mostly happy ,although they aren't running pikes , mainly shunting training docks and office , and all of them are either Canadian or have landed status via previous work.
DH seems to miss the point somewhat that this site is usually a font of knowledge for wannabe Canadian truck drivers more often than not coming out from Britain , yet has failed from day one to give any inside info to those interested in making the move and more relevantly what's involved trying to obtain PR whilst working for them .
Most regulars here are aware of what occurred in Alberta with the West Can boys not leaving the Province enough to count as "long haul drivers " , but the DH is still after 57 pages of insults reluctant to post details , how very freakin helpful is that ? Oh yeah , can you explain or give reason to the relevance of all the "camper " BS , maybe I 'm missing something but it means SFA to me ?
