Dear fellow canadiandesi,

I still am not in Canada.. but soon that is going to be my land .....
I am IT professional having 12 years in my bag........

Belive me the first thing i want to explore is to DRIVE a TRUCK>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> if good money is there ... i suggest u start something on ur own.....

Just a suggestion.....

Truck driving is a skilled and rewarding job. It does require a lot of hardwork and sacrifice if you have a family. Since you have already done your homework, it is important to note that long haul assignments get you more money than local trips. Also, owner operators make more than mere drivers.

If you are happy and ready to put in the efforts, dont feel ashamed about it. A few of my very successful desi friends are truck drivers, have a million $$ home, kids are university educated and all of them are well placed in thier respective careers.

Good luck with your new career.

Hiren.

By the way can anybody mention annual income of truckdriver
Me too palnning the same to surviev at the satrt in canada

And also please tell us how to become Owner-operator? How much money is required for investment in buying a truck?

well it depends what type of tuck r u going to buy and where u want to drive long haul or city ... if u wanna drive in long haul it should be below 1m km and max 5 yrs old truck .. and u can drive any old truck with good conditon in city but should be well mantained .... other wise u have to pay alot to tow a truck from anywhere to service station....

u can get the good condition of truck of aroung 20k to 45k for long haul i guass..
