The Source for Trucking News, Opinions and Trucking Jobs | Foreign Drivers Everywhere

Hi, I read your coments and I couldn’t agree more.
I live in British Columbia on Vancouver Island where we are constantly getting rates cut by “new Canadians”.
I was reading an article the other day about our so called driver shortage and you’re exactly right when you say that there is no shortage of good drivers just a shortage of good companies to work for.
I laugh when I read any ads because it’s always the same companies looking for victims.
I guess they don’t realize most drivers and owner/ops have got them figured out.
The situation in Canada is no different than in the US.
It’s getting to be a rarity to find a truck driver that speaks English.
I many years of working up North in the oilfield and then doing long haul across Canada and the US I had my dream job for my truck hauling live fish from the boats across on the ferry into downtown Vancouver until that ended with some East Indians cutting our rates on one run by one hundred thousand dollars so I imagine I’ll be back doing long haul again
Be Safe.
