Truck driver jobs in Canada

About these jobs

Truck drivers move goods across Canada and into the United States. Long-haul and tractor-trailer driving needs a Class 1 (AZ in Ontario) licence and, in most provinces, mandatory entry-level training; local delivery trucks often need a Class 3 (DZ) licence.

Carriers hire all year. Postings list the routes (local, regional, cross-border), the pay per hour or per mile and the licence needed, so check those before applying.
