Re: Wages for Truckers
it is quite simple guys, we all looked at Canada as been a change of what we have over here,for whatever reason,do you agree, but we still made the move I think there should be more info available on all aspects,
This forum is full of info, you just have to take the time and read it, infact their is no other website that has more info and personal experiences of Canadawe each meet new challenges differently, and I am sure you will all agree that hind sight is twenty twenty vision, I know I suffered from the cultural differences quite badly and I had to adjust to the way things are in Canada, when I accepted the changes without trying to change them, I got on quite well until I had to return to the UK, despite the difficulties I am now looking at returning. basically what I mean is if someone is going to go then after collecting as much info as possible,they still have to be flexible in their approach and try hard to make it work.
So whats holding you back?? you seem to have all the answers from your first time here, you seem to know the pitt falls. Youve done the work and have a class 1, out of any of us that came across you should now be better equiped and prepared.
it seems to me that gremmie and BT just like to sit on here and pick out fault with evryone elses posts. instead of trying to help
Their have I picked enough out of your post !!!!!???? What help do you need ?? You've done it all before, which bits dont you know about ???
come on guys people are looking for your advice not criticism,from experienced guys.

Ha ha Gremmie your so nice to BT.
Anyway east european drivers are bad because they just want to work for the money and that means they are willing to stay out for longer on the road and will bend far more easily than say a driver from a reputable company. damage is high on the whole with these guys because they dont care about being a driver of some standard, prob dont even know what that means. I'm talking from experience here too. Polish and Hungarian drivers are ok if they come from the big companies like Hungarocamion and the like.
Loafy...
By the way Bulk carriers PEI are coming over to the UK in a week or so to recruit. So anyone looking to come to Atlantic canada keep an eye on the papers.

Gremmie,try cutting out the sarcasm,it can be off putting to new members.
This guy returned to Scotland(I know ) back in 2007 due to family problems ,lots have changed here since then so give one of the better drivers a break and allow him the time and space to enquire about trucking in Canada for ex-pats in 2011/12 without the likes of you taking the piss.
Regards the Scottish comment,Porridge Wogs deserve all they get .

He states that newbies have to learn how to adapt and accept the Canadain way. Then he tells us that after his initial problems he also went with the flow and got on alot better So what is his problem, what does he want from us??? he's been here learnt the job and done it right
And yes I pointed out that he has answered his own questions, so where is that taking the piss, when is he going to ask a specific question.??

Taking the piss and sarcasm are different,maybe it's just your curt manner

I dont have time for flowery chit chat, I have a trucking company to run in between posts.
