Halcyon days, not a hard hat or high vis jacket to be seen, the days when you were allowed to get on with the job without the 'what if brigade ' wagging their fingers at you.

They’re not too old, but FO anyway.


Somebody was bound to say it!

If anyone from TFF land gets the job a progress report would be very interesting.
Not sure I believe some of the info but you never know.

It looks like a hell of a job for a lad in his mid-20s or a recent divorcee.

An excellent opportunity to get you on your feet and save up a deposit for a house or business startup, etc. Drive that thing for a year or two and you could easily start your own little business back home.

If I saw this ten years ago, I probably would have done it.

 

[Mursal]

I'll do the night's if anyone will cab share, to do the days?
My 3 years "driving experience" might be a bit vague.



All joking aside, a great opportunity for someone pre or post divorce ............

If it's pre-divorce, I imagine that would soon become post-divorce.

If the details are correct i'd agree, I very much doubt the hours are (not too much of a problem for a young single person) I'm not that familiar with Canadian trucking but the money seems high and paid percentage isn't necessarily a good deal, sign on bonus will have hooks too.
There's a whole industry in North America promoting and recruiting for trucking companies. What's promised is often not reality.

That doesn't mean this is the same, it could be the making of someone (if I was younger i'd give it a go) lots of research required.

It said upto 45 so you mean 20 years ago ralmfao

45, but that wouldn't be by birth certificate, more how you feel ................
Running after livestock = 21

On my trips between Ottawa and Montreal I saw sweet FA - brown, featureless prairie in the late winter thaw.

I hope it gets better than that

 

[Mursal]

Ah no, it would be all changed now. Picturesque scenery (in front of you), 5 star accommodation organised by client (behind the seat) and no need for gym membership. And they even bought two new lorries, apparently .............

It'll pull it easily enough. It'll stop it just fine, too.

Legal? Heck, no!

Not sure what the A4 Quattro would be plated for, Sargent?
