Every one of us started out as a new driver so the jobs are out there, you just have to get your butt out there any find them.
Personally, I live in Whitehorse, but knew I'd have a rough time getting hired to run the Alcan with no experience, so I took off to Northern Alberta to work for Arrow for a bit. Loved and been working ever since. (near home now)
I'd recommened trying Arrow or another bulk haul. They tend to be the ones to hire new drivers.

Try reimers, they hire rookies straight out of training. Only problem is that it's all double team. They might even put you with someone with less than a year experience.
