      They go slow here too. In Alberta our limit is 110km/h but passenger traffic usually move at 120km/h or about 75mph. For some reason truckers don’t stay in the slow lane.

      also comes down to the slower you go the less fuel you burn means more in the bank at the end of the day.......seeing as Canadian trucks are spec'd to haul heavier then most states trucks we run different gear ratio's means the faster we go the more rpm we turn the more we burn, yank trucks tend to run like 3.55 ratios or less where as most canadian trucks run 3.73-3.90's which means turning 70mph can cost us 40% more in fuel.....that's a pile of money out the pipes.

      Canadian trucker here. 105 limiter is just what your engine can get you to, you mash the pedal and it'll only go to 105. Loaded trucks are heavy and pick up a lot of speed going downhill, and you can use that momentum to rocket past other people. Only Ontario and Quebec have that restriction, a truck in NB, BC, NS, etc. can accelerate to whatever speed the truck is capable of.

    I have some friends who are truck spotters in Canada, from what I've been told the aftermath of the freedom convoy has not improved the relationship truckers up there have with the public, as most people living in the cities see truckers as dumb, dangerous, or unnecessary. Apparently Kenworth and Peterbilt drivers are at elevated risk of negative public/police interaction because those were the two brands of trucks most often seen at the demonstrations. To quote one of them, "anyone driving a fancy Peterbilt in Canada is public enemy number one".
    On a lighter note, Canada's truck manufacturing industry has a very interesting history, which most people don't know about. Many Canadian truck manufacturers had close ties to US or British manufacturers, either using their designs or using their parts. Sicard and Canada used cabs from Leyland and Dodge, respectively. Western Star had very close ties with White before leaving Canada, as did Garford with their American neighbors. And there's the trucks that Canada's most known for, their off highway logging trucks. I've heard it said that you can't call yourself Canadian if you don't know about and/or appreciate the trucks built by Hayes, Pacific, and Challenger. The off-highway logging truck manufacturers all died out by the late 90's, but the fact that a lot of them are still running after all this time is a testament to how well they were built and the craftsmanship of Canadian designers and assembly line workers. Additionally, American, French, and British manufacturers have all been active in Canada, creating a more well rounded market than what we have in America.

      What you need is a MELT course, think of it as a European driving school. Alberta has is in the process of abandoning MELT and making trucking a red seal trade (similar to mechanics) while some provinces like New Brunswick never adopted it in the first place. It really depends on where you want to go.
      That said you need a work permit before you can get as much as a drivers license. There are a ton of ways you could get that and it really depends on how old you are, where in the country you intend to settle, level of education, years work experience and in what jobs etc. There is an easy way that can sort of bypass some of these regulations if you are under 35 years old. Otherwise you really need work experience, but not necessarily as a truck driver (though it does help a lot with finding employment)

      4. MELT, sounds alot like the UK CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence). Its entry level training, just so you have a good and clear basic knowledge of regimes and health and safety standards, along with certain other industry practices. I am currently studying it now.
      5. I am 49, so I'm coming into it late, but skilled workers are needed in Canada right and my age is not a deal breaker? My hope is to get a job with an employer who would put me through all the VISA and immigration stuff, probably in exchange for some agreed level of employment tenure with them. I know this is one possible way to do it.
      6. I would love to come to either Ottawa, Toronto, or Montreal .
      So, knowing all this about me, what do you think is my best route into Canada, permanently (bear in mind that I am currently doing a truck driving course here in the UK, which I hope to pass by the end of Summer, so I'll have very little or no experience for the next year or two anyways).
      Cheers for your help buddy!

      @@adambishop5739 1. I had the Working Holiday Visa in mind, and not all countries are eligible for that. Most that are get a 1 year work permit, but Commonwealth nations 2 (and I think UK was recently upgraded to 3 years). It ends at age 35 though so that ship has sailed.
      2. Germany
      3. Yes
      4. Exactly. They will teach you the basics but theres a lot that you will learn out on the road.
      5. Depending on what stream you want to use to come over theres a lot of different ways. Age 49 is not ideal but no dealbreaker either. What you have in mind here is LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment), essentially the employer has to have a lack of workers and then petition the government to be allowed to recruit from abroad. This process is costly however so there are very few carriers that do this, and the ones that do are mostly hiring relatives from India.
      6. Forget it. Montreal is Quebec which basically bans immigration unless you are a Francophone. Ottawa and Toronto are within the main population center of Ontario. The market there is completely flooded with Indians and cost of living has exploded in the past years. You will struggle to find a job and struggle even harder to find one that allows you to live in your own apartment without roommates. If you want to come over you can choose the Maritimes, the Prairies and maybe the Territories.
      What path you take is up to you and as I mentioned there are literally hundreds of streams. I spent many many hours researching all this, figuring out how to move here and replanning everything since the stream was cancelled. Theres a lot of work ahead in finding out what works for you. I suggest you start by looking at your past work history (10 years) and find the NOC (National Occupation Code) for that. This will let you know how high skilled Canada rates your experience and that opens or shuts many streams. If you are TEER 1-3 you can opt for Express Entry (the holy grail of streams) provided you have the required points. There is a government website where you can look up how many point you would get with the information provided, and another site where you can find the required points for past draws.
      If EE is no option you can use the AIP (Atlantic Immigration Program) which allows you to move to the Maritimes provided you have a job offer. This stream doesnt need LMIA though so its a bit easier, shoot your shot. If that doesnt work either you can choose from one of the many provincial streams (including the YT and NT). However this will take time (easily 2 years) and you probably need a job offer. This all depends on the province though, so have fun searching through a boatload of information :)
      You can check in with each province to see if they recognize a UK Class 1 (truck license) or if you have to go through MELT again. Having a license helps, but what you really need is either connections here or relevant work experience as a driver. 6 months are a start, once you have 1 year driving experience you are considered a skilled driver and employable for most jobs excluding specialized ones (heavy hauling, ice roads, dangerous goods etc). Keep your record clean too as that is very important. Speeding is bad, accidents are critical and can exclude you for 3-5 years before you are considered for work again (depending on many factors - just stay safe out there).
      Final note: The market has suffered a lot since its peak 2022 and this last winter was the worst freight market in over a decade. It has improved somewhat since spring but is still rather sluggish and nowhere near a boom. Too many guys entered the industry when rates were incredible and now they struggle to make a living. I suspect that things will pick up again once these drivers move on to other industries and the hiring situation will improve, but it also depends a lot on the US election in November as the Canadian economy is directly tied to the US.
      If you have any more questions feel free to reach out, but as I said you need to invest a lot of time to research the potential immigration streams in areas that interest you.

    The one thing the Minister of Transport needs to really really work on is rest areas. Not talking about truck stops. Just simple rest areas. With just simple parking and washrooms. It is something America has Canada beat in. I drive Sudbury and back 3 times a week. Other then few truck stops there is no where to just stop and take a break safely. Stopping on the side of the road to take a break is not a safe place especially when you start getting into just 2 lane highways and people are travelling at speeds 90km/hr or higher.

    Québec also has an equivalent law requiring 105 km/h speed limiters.
    If you're behind a truck on an open highway you can set your cruise control to 105 and never touch it again, which is neat.
    The annoying thing is when a trucker sets it to 106 km/h and spends all day in the left lane trying to pass another truck going 105.

    • @explorernate
      @explorernate ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s not as simple as saying one truck has their limiter higher. It’s usually the calibration. Not all trucks are calibrated with the same machine, and they’ll have varying degrees of tread left on their tyres. In the UK we’re limited to no more than 90km/h which works to 56. The amount of cars I can pass and their digital dashboard says 57mph shows the lack of consistent calibration, and then I can get passed by another lorry clearly not limited to more than 56, just that the calibration/tyre tread isn’t equal.

My point is to keep the things consistent in every video so ve can have good comparative for each country. In the last video for Island he have two things. Mentions the highest speed allowed of 90km/h and says that it is rather slow by EU standards. I live in EU and I can tell you that in any EU country you can get speeding ticket if you get caught with speed of 90. For EU nominal speed is 80km/h only country that tolerates this is Germany but even in Germany you can get ticket if it is speeding camera on the highway. In this video he also mentions wages but he comments that are not great. So he could not find probably exact info how much are those . In the end he should research the topic better and keep the same info in each video for each country covered so we can make a good comparative picture.
