Why is it so hard to become a trucker in Canada now?

I know two people from my old workplace that went to Canada to drive, and never came back.

Perhaps Canada has the same problem with being “flooded by UK immigrant drivers” as we do with regards to EE drivers?

Not a chance. Most Brit drivers are too lazy and bone idle to flood anywhere with anything. They’d rather complain on Facebook than make a positive change and chase an opportunity to better their circumstances.

Both drivers in question were well-heeled, and strike-breakers to get to that point as well, so I would have to disagree with your assessment of the more “general” UK worker’s market there. :unamused:

One runs his own tanker firm as an owner driver, whilst the other works for a logging facility last time I heard, Calgary area. I’m banned from FB, so I have now lost touch with any updates from those I knew that have now moved overseas alas…
