TRUCKING IN GREATER MONTREAL

Trucking in and around Montreal gets you right into the action. It’s not a routine job! You meet a lot of people every day. It’s a team effort between you and the customer. You have to be resourceful and organized because routes often change.

Being calm, patient and alert are strengths, as one of the biggest challenges of urban truck driving is meeting scheduled delivery deadlines.

You need to want to do things right and do them accurately, so you can manoeuvre in tight spaces and in a fast-paced environment. Work-life balance is considered easier for truck drivers who make deliveries in the city.

PROVINCIAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL TRUCKING

Working in provincial, national and international trucking often involves long trips. You will discover the province, the country and may even cross the border. You must be self-reliant, responsible, resourceful and have good reflexes.

The hours are flexible, but you manage your own time to meet the needs of your customers. You have to be disciplined and thorough to ensure that your cargo reaches its destination safely.

You may work alone or in teams of two over medium, long or very long distances. If you like driving, the road and travelling, this is the field for you. Who knows where the road will take you!
