Yeah - cheap - not.
We’ve got an interview mid August in Manchester to work for H&R in Alberta hopefully fingers crossed this will be the right one…as did have a chance with Yanke and Trans X but all’s not what it seemed with these companies as we’ve found out.

Never met “Scania 143 the king” in my life,I know N.Ireland is small but its not that small .
Scaniaman,
What made you go for H+R
They run mostly vans don’t they Did you look at Big Freight or Westcan Bulk
Mainly because I prefer fridge work just busy emailing some other crowds now you used to go on trucknet ca, are you hoping to move out to Canada??
scaniaman h&r are have their main depot in lethbridge which is where we live - hurry up and come over u guys the house prices here are just going up and up lol - its like england all over again.

The Canada thing is on the back burner for a year or two as the O/D thing here at home is ticking over not too bad so I’ll run with it for a while.
I still don’t like the fact that 99% of the truck driving jobs via PNP are for long haul and to be away from home for 12/14 days at a time and home for 2/4 just does not seem like a life I would like to lead.The long cold winters and living on the prairies puts me off too although the house prices look good I will just keep on asking questions on this forum and see how you guy’s all get on when you go over .
Does anyone have phillo’s email address before I get to a truckstop to get one thanks
There you go mate
