    Canada Work in Canada, live in US?

    I don't know if I only have to apply for a work permit in Canada. The company is somewhat around the bush. First they are looking for drivers, then they hire drivers from overseas, and when I got in the picture they where somewhat around the bush. I guess they would prefer me to immigrate...

    Canada Work in Canada, live in US?

    Thanks for writing. Can't help but grin about your posting. I live in the US with GC, but don't want to move over to Canada. Will Owner Operator status ease the mess somewhat or no? Immigration lawyer most likely will not be in the picture, moneywise. Can't help but wonder what the difference is...

    My decison to leave the carrier was simply that I got fed up with dispatch and stupid remarks. I averaged less loads, smaller pay even tho I got a raise. For quite some time I lost sleep over weather I should stick it out and hope for the best or look elsewhere. I even leased on with 2 different...

    Driving with yourSpouse

    I don't know what the problem is guys, my wife came along one week over another, and we had a great time. In winter we would snuggle up against each other in the bunk so we don't freeze to death, and in the summer we would argue who is closer to the a/c! When she would come along, we would have...

    LDP - Question from previous post

    With $121K/yr you might as well live in the truck since the freight leads the way. And how about getting the hands on such a unit, let alone repairs and upkeep?

    hazmat loads

    Yes, thats so true. Even I have Hazmat endorsement, I usually don't want to haul it either. My company does not pay more and why should I deal with it? Not worth the thought.

    Question

    I am actually not concerned with my record, but confused since I was asked advise about it by a very good friend of mine. All my driving positions with companies in the last couple of years got me the job on the interview after drug testing and a ton of paperwork to file. So I thought, things...
