Apply to the companies direct, there are lot's, the paperwork is not difficult, but be aware not all companies take on foreign workers,

Re: truck drivers canada
All trucking is paid by the mile and it depends on what experience you have, flat bed normally pays most, depends on what area, approx 37-53 cents a mile in Winnipeg (37c dry van/53c flat bed). In my experience Brit's are loved over here and made extemely welcome, we've never encountered any problems and have been welcomed with open arms,

I reckoned flatbeds might pay the most but above all else I'm looking to get away from the pressures we have in the UK so a lesser paid job would be fine. My wife works in the Legal profession and is stressed to high heavens. A secluded place by a non mosquito infested lake would be like dying and going to heaven!

Re: truck drivers canada
Hi all,
We are moving to Lethbridge- hopefully in Sept. My husband is a truck driver and is coming to work for H & R Transport. I say hopefully Sept as it all depends when we can sell the house. Any advise gratefully accepted.

Re: truck drivers canada
well princedeak the house always stays tidy!!!!!!! but seriously I have made loads of mates and we do lots of stuff, days out here in summer are always cheap and in the winter we ski and snowboard, something I never wanted to do before but everybody has a laugh and it's not taken seriously, you have to make the effort to take advantage of all that is happening and intergrate yourself with the locals, they're really friendly!!!!
