If you want to earn MEGA money and have decent time off look about doing your dozer/360 track digger tickets in UK.
Check out my thread on “Professional drivers forum” ref plant wages,
You can earn £1500+/wk SE if you put in the 12hr shifts!!!
If I was 30yrs younger that’s where I’d be heading!!![emoji6]

Are the companies not asking for 2 years experience?
I briefly looked into getting qualified for 360 or driving cranes a year or so ago, had my class one for 15 years, fancy a change and decent money would be good!
Any advice for me how to get into the 360 industry?

No idea about heavy equipment. I only know first hand the driving market in the Maritimes. Here companies need to know your last 10 years work history to prove they’re doing their due diligence, making sure you’ve not been in prison / Syria etc.
You have to retake your test which wont be a big deal, prove you’ve been driving class 1 for 2 years and can pass a drug test.
You’ll also need a stick to beat off the recruiters when they smell fresh meat.

Anyone know where the dates for upcoming recruitment seminars are advertised for Trafalgar square, London?
I’ve been on the Canada H.C website, can’t see anything on there.
Go to Bison Transport’s website, it will probably be on there somewhere, they’re one of the firm’s attending.

Get your “dump Truck” CSR ticket 1st and ask about 360/dozer “experience”@ plant training firm.
The dump truck work is basically common sense equal to 8wheeler tipper and will get the foot in the door with the plant hire companies.
Google:
Lynch plant hire
Blackwell plant hire
HET Services etc.

Guys, I saw that pic. Couldn’t work out who was who. Then Pat posted a pic of him and his wife. Sweet.
Steve, all them years partying in Morroco and working for Ralph Davies, have taken their toll.
Call me on your next visit to Florida, lets get you back in the game LOL.
If you don’t laugh, you’l cry, and that’s no fun!

Been looking at training for Dump trucks, CITB do a 5 day course for around £1400
Couple of questions:
Can anyone recommend a decent training provider?
Is there a busy and quiet period for dump truck work in the UK for self employed drivers? (So I can train in quiet period)
Any decent agency’s to get in touch with for work, I’m based near Milton Keynes, but know I will need to travel.

Hello gents
Which one of these Canadian provinces would allow my partner to get work permission if I was offered a job there by one of these companies.
Would she need to be married to me, or could she go there with me as my gf?
Thank you

It all depends on the specific type of work permit/visa you intend to enter the country with , more info required .
Hi FTTM
If I understand all these visas correctly, my only options as a truck driver coming to Canada would beas follow:
- Alberta, first, Temporary Work Permit for 6 months with employer who can get LMIA for me, then apply for permanent residency and wait till granted.
If I was given TWP Alberta would my partner be also granted a work permit straight away, or would she be granted it when I applied for PR or got granted PR?
- Saskatchewan, first TWP for 6 months, then same as with Alberta.
- Manitoba,
A) same scenario as with Alberta and Saskatchewan
B) or, I’ve heard you could also directly get onto MPNP as a truck driver and get nominated before you even leave Blighty, so your application for PR is already lodged and accepted before you even land in Canada and start working.
I’m wondering what would my options be in each scenario mentioned above regarding my partnergetting work permit in each province.
Thanks

The CIC frequently change their criteria for PR qualification , so don’t take this reply as gospel .
Forget Alberta , you would be at the mercy of your employer , and they certainly won’t be in a rush for you to gain PR .For the SK and MB programs , if your partner was your spouse she’d have to wait for 12mths or until you renewed your TWP before she could work . As a partner though , she should be able to apply for a TWP straightaway , supposing she has the required skills .
I could be totally wrong , it was a while ago for us . Welcome to a minefield of bureaucratic nonsense btw .
Thanks FTTM
So, that means if she was my partner she would still need to rely on her own skills and point system rather than getting her right to work because of being my partner.
She could be getting a few points for having someone living in Canada, I guess, but that is only if I already had my PR at least, I suspect.
Will have to do some more reading on this
In MB your partner/spouse gets a TWP if you’re on PNP, your kids get schooling and Manitoba Health (NHS) but any kid over 18 gets SFA, they can’t work, go to college or use the Manitoba Healthcare system unless they pay for it, until you get PR.

Hi NMM
Thanks for contributing.
So, If I was married my wife, would get a work permit, once I was accepted onto MPNP?
So, lets say, if I came to work for a company on TWP for 6 months, before applying for MPNP (as I would be allowed to applied only after completing 6 months employment with a given employer) my wife would not be allow to work, am I right?
Would she be allowed to come with me to Canada, and if so on what visa?
After 6 months of employment I would apply for MPNP.
Once I applied, lodged my documents, would my wife be able to get a TWP, or would she need to wait longer, and how long?
Thanks
