I am currently looking to move to Canada with my partner, the main reason is that my partners skills base is more needed(registered nurse)in canada, but it seems so is mine.I'm currently searching sites for information about class 1(A)driving in canada, so if any employer or ex-pat drivers in canada can tell me a smooth way to do this, i'd be gratefull. I believe sponsership is possible with more canadian states doing this, and what else do i need to get on the road. I'm assuming 12yrs uk experience and being 46 helps, TELL ME AT chrinaledy@aol.com. Getting accepted into canada is fine, so all beinf well i could land on new soil in Aug 2010!!!
Truck drivers will get a better deal

The “worst driver shortage in 28 years,” is plaguing trucking companies throughout North America.
“We advertised for a week for a driver in Calgary and had three replies, none of them acceptable to us--two of the guys were over 60 and one who’s had seven jobs in five years,”says Steve Islaub, vice-president of Vedder Transport of Abbotsford, B.C., a 100-driver company that specializes in hauling edible liquids.
The shortage has been brewing on the back burner for quite a while, but now it seems to be critical. Some transportation observers are putting the blame squarely on the downloading of cost-cutting on to the shoulders of the driver. In the recent economic downturn the shipping community tended to take savings out of the trucker, observed Stan Dunford, CEO of Contrans, a truckload transportation services company with operations throughout Canada and the U.S.
Dunford anticipates that the shipping community will have to factor some serious increases into their pricing in order to hold drivers. His company is also stepping up incentives to reduce the rapid churn rate of drivers, which, in some cases exceeds 100% per year. “We’ve refurbished driver facilities at terminals , put in showers, improved lounges, provided PO boxes with keys for mail,” he told Report-ON-Business TV recently.
Amongst the factors causing drivers shortages:
- poor pay scales and deteriorating working conditions have led to high “churn” rates
- retirement of experienced drivers;
- tougher safety rules reducing driver hours of service;
- young people don’t like the lifestyle;
- problems recruiting young persons because of insurance rates
Over the past decade or so, truck driving has become the job of last resort. The odd hours for long distance driving and the adjustments needed by families makes for a very unattractive career unless the economy is so bad that there’s nothing else available. Job-hopping for improved hours and schedules became the rule rather than the exception.
Now, the driver shortage is causing companies to offer better pay and benefits. Drivers can start at $35,000, and eventually make $70,000 to $100,000 a year with overtime. Among the perks being offered are a chance to move to local routes to be home more and $5,000 signing bonuses. One company is offering a pay feature that allows drivers to get a tax benefit by treating part of their pay as reimbursement for meals and expenses.
One controversial solution to the driver shortage is causing concern to safety advocates … a pilot plan to allow 19- and 20-year-olds to operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce. “This is simply an effort by motor carriers to find a new source of people willing to work cheap and provisions in the proposal that would hold the driver captive to the carrier until he’s 21 amounts to no more than indentured servitude,” said Jim Johnston, president of the Owner-Operators and Independent Drivers Association.
Another contentious issue is the use of electronic devices to record driver’s hours behind the wheel. This would eliminate the log-book juggling that currently enables drivers and shippers to bend hours of service rules. The technologies are being pushed by the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety but meeting stiff resistance from the trucking industry.
"If you're going to have enforcement based on electronic data, it had better be a lot better working than my laptop," says Bill Goose, vice president of engineering for the American Trucking Associations trade group. "Right now, we'd prefer voluntary use of the devices."
The need work through these issues is becoming urgent now as the economy picks up. By all accounts there’s rising demand for trucking services but growth is at a virtual standstill until additional truck drivers are attracted, says one executive.

Trucking jobs are hard to come by now. Probably the best bet is to contact individual companies and try to get to talk to whoever is responsible for hiring.
It's hard for any company to hire from another country.
DK, on Saturday, 05. September 2009 at 10:47 AM
Light trucks (pickups etc.) you can drive on your German license if you are visiting. How long depends on state. To drive commercial trucks you need a Commercial Driver License. You can check requirements for these by going to

One thing you can try Lawrence is posting a resume on our TRUCKING JOBS page and mentioning your ambition re driving the ice roads. It's free --

If there is a shortage of driver's,then why is so hard for an experienced driver,like me,to find a company that is willing to pay for experience.most companies want to pay the same as someone who has just gotten out of school.I think that's wrong,and that's why they can't find any good help.

I'm a lisenced truck driver and a german citizen. I would like to move to canada (exact location not a problem) with my wife and child. I would need a letter of intent from my future employer to obtain a work permit. If any companies are interested in an experienced driver, I can be reached at simmeler@gmx.de
thanks

Hey Robson,
I´m pretty sorry for you, but normally the insurance of the factory train owner will have to pay your truck if it is definitly unrepairable! Or your the poor, who was kidded by a badass! Didn´t they called the police?
When I read things like this, I´m ashamed being a german.
I wish you good luck!!!
Denny, on Thursday, 19. April 2007 at 10:43 PM
Robson, from what you say you should have no problem getting your truck replaced. What did the German factory owners say? Your case looks clear cut unless you were parked on an active track.
alan robson, on Thursday, 19. April 2007 at 12:20 PM
i was a uk owner driver until a german factory train ran into me, by the way i was stationary, parked where i was told to park.
the germans did not even ask how i was,never worked since, now disabled,
i am still asking the german factory for a new truck. after all they wrecked mine,

I remember a bad accident involving a 18 year old driver of a tractor trailer from Canada. He improperly loaded a escavator, hit a skywalk for pedistrians which cause it to collaspe on the highway killing serial people. hiring young drivers with no common sense has a severe cost to human life down here in Baltimore, Maryland it happened 1997 on interstate 695.

Left trucking a year ago,why,because of low pay. I was running local Balto to Pa two trips daily needed to make as least a thousand a week company unwilling to meet that price. I love trucking but my family can't afford me to.And by the way I have six years exp. flatbed, vans and reefers.

I was hired by a tanker company in Flordia and the first day we were signing forms ay a record pace and not enough time to read contents. The secound dar I wanted to see what I signed. One form with payroll dectuctions for 90 days for 400.00 for 125.00 worth of tools a elbow pipe and wrench. The other was to pay a precentage for my trip-pack. Stupid!

Us younger driver's cannot get a job without experence, therefore we cannot get experence without a job! it's kind of distrubing as well.
