You shouldn`t have any trouble finding a job driving around here or for that matter any where else, there is a huge shortage of drivers. My neighbour works for the Yanke Group of Companies and he spends alot of time in the United Kingdom hiring drivers.
Good luck, hope you stay in Saskatchewan.

Congrats there prep. My brotherinlaw works for Calac trucking in Saskatoon and they pay pretty good and need drivers. They have health benefits. Hes paid more than me. He goes home with close to 3000 a month. More if he does the Western province longhauls.
I know of another fella that went to Clagary and is driving truck he now pulls in about anywhere from 4000 up to 10,000 a month, but he his pushing the limits in his driving I think. I think he goes over his hours. I don't know who he drives for, all I know is even with that money he seems to be always broke. He lives in motels and eats out and has a 4 pack a day smoking habit. That there takes quite a bit of money.
So if you do truck hauls in Alberta you should be able to make a very good down payment on a property here afterwards where you will not have to build from scratch.

Right on Preppy, if you can't find 'em grind 'em. The first few weeks of your new job will be where you actually learn how to drive. That's how it was for me anyway, I knew what I needed to do, but after a few weeks it was all natural. Good Luck!
