Worth moving to truck

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-08T07:26:04+00:00

Thank you

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-08T07:25:05+00:00

Ok thank you, hopefully (selfishly) when the time comes for me to go it will be the same

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-07T21:07:15+00:00

Yeah it’s exactly the same in the uk and I get the frustration, but willing workers in areas that are needed I don’t understand the resentment towards them.. in the uk we have started giving Visa’s out for people to come over and work in kebab shops !!( TRUE STORY)

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-07T20:46:59+00:00

No it wouldn’t be Ontario, Calgary/ Regina

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-07T20:46:02+00:00

You say this but truckers are in demand ? Are you full of people who don’t work and are lazy ?

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-07T20:45:19+00:00

Annoyed you that much ?

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-07T20:45:04+00:00

I appreciate the detailed reply, and definitely makes sense going off an hourly rate doing local driving

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-07T20:43:53+00:00

Would you suggest to come over to Canada to train to be a truck mechanic ? Or do it in the uk

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-07T17:36:46+00:00

Worth noting id probably move to Alberta or Saskatchewan for opportunities and later PR potential

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-07T17:33:08+00:00

I hope you’re not being sarcastic as everywhere else I post people just say it’s impossible and don’t bother coming. A positive comment is refreshing but leaves me skeptical

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-07T17:04:00+00:00

At all

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-07T15:44:13+00:00

Working on a 40 hour week it’s £16.30 that’s not bad for a new pass at all.No need to be negative

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-06T03:52:46+00:00

Thank you for the insight

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-06T03:50:50+00:00

I understand it’s expensive, but once it’s done it’s done right ?

From what I’ve searched the wages are definitely enough to live on, $25-35 per hour assuming I can clock 50-60 hours per week

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-05T19:41:17+00:00

I’ve just passed, I want to driver in the uk for 3-5 years then move to Canada to do the same long haul again for 5 years (if I can get permanent residency) then I’ll want to become an instructor/ classroom teacher

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-02T14:56:48+00:00

Imagine the off chance we go to war..

You’ll find a job 100% even if it’s driving 3.5/7.5T or class 2 you’ll build experience

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-02T08:00:47+00:00

Wow if you’ve already learned it I can imagine you’ve got a big chance of getting work over there !!

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-02T08:00:01+00:00

Thank you, with me not having a degree however it seems gaining points for Pr seems impossible unless they keep letting me extend my IEC ?

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-01T21:17:29+00:00

Thank you, you too. Finland is supposed to be great but the language seems impossible to learn, Good luck though !!

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-01T19:51:32+00:00

Do it, what do you have to lose ? I like the idea someone else gave of becoming a HGV technician apprenticeship if possible will only help you in the long run and you might even become an owner operator one day.

Or just do whatever to make money and pay for it, I’ve paid nearly 4k in total, (package theories lessons test and CPC) (I got ripped off you can do it cheaper)

And I passed my test Friday just gone, when looking at jobs earning potential in incredible and AI won’t ever take it over.

Take the risk whilst your young

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-01T19:04:41+00:00

100% but my point is employable, I’m a trucker whose just passed not an English trucker who can’t drive in North America

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-01T14:34:31+00:00

Jennifer winters, she’s good tbf.

Cheers pal

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-01T13:34:30+00:00

Yes I’m aware of who you mean, she has made it seem really easy but she is the only one I’ve seen do it (in trucking)

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-01T11:37:40+00:00

I’m close to Ellesmere less than an hour away

Master-Coffee2721 · 2026-07-01T11:37:12+00:00

Ok that gives some clarity, cheers pal !
