Congrats to you TT!

That is same anywhere in the province TT. Some of the larger carriers will take newbs from some of the different schools. I only have investigated 2 who do; Schneider out of Guelph, ON and Kriska out of Prescott, ON. I have also contacted Thompson Terminals, Erb Transport, and Bison (Winnipeg, MB). Each of them requires min 2yrs as well although I think Erb may take someone with 1yr they said. Erb is reefer only up this way.

I can provide you with a name of Schneider Recruiting Mgr Cdn Div......Brian Danjaw 1-800-752-5319 ext 8295

or contact Kriska via their website.

Good Luck, keep us posted please.

I think Eldorado is out of Windsor...and judging by the way some of their drivers drive i don't think they require any experience at all, you probably don't even need a drivers licence!

Now wheres the emoticon with the turban on it?

yea scheinder came out too our school not sure i wanted to be on road 12 day straight .. thanks guys will keep lookin don't want to be out of seat to long..

HAHA!!! You are soooo right Stainless!

They are always saying how there is a shortage of drivers but only expeirenced . It took me 4 months this year to find a company willing to give me a chance ,it's small , 9 units, on flat bed. A good site to go to is trucknews .com . Down in Windsor there should be lots of companies to choose from, some one will eventually give you a chance, it may not be what you're looking for but it'll get your feet wet for 6 or 12 months till you can get hired on somewhere else. I've only been driving for 2 weeks now and love it so far till I have to go to Toronto area,hate that city. Good luck and safe driving
