FAQ - Canadian Employers

Can I post a job for free on this web site?: Yes, posting vacant positions is free for Canadian employers. Only in case if you want to place a link (small image) on the front page of our web site, which will lead to either your company web site or to the job post on our web site we would charge advertising fee. Otherwise posting jobs on our web site is free of charge for Canadian employers.
For how long can I advertise vacant position?: You can advertise your vacant position for three months. If after 3 months you still have not been able to find your truck driver we can extend your job ad for another 3 months.
Can I cancel or modify my job ad before it expires?: Yes, you can cancel or slightly modify your job ad before its original expiry date. If however you cancel your job ad, we remove it from the web site, then you request that we put it back on within 30 days from the date you requested cancelation we will charge $50 administration fee. If you post the same job (or different job) more than 30 days after you canceled the first job ad everything is free.
Can I advertise my company without placing any job ads?: You sure can. Please contact us and we will provide you with the details.
Where are you located?: Milorad Borota lives and works in Vancouver, BC in Canada. Other staff members are located outside of Canada, in Croatia and Bosnia, in Europe.
Why do you have staff outside Canada?: We serve Canadian employers and truck drivers. Some of the truck drivers who are our clients are outside of Canada and North America and due to the time zone difference it is more convenient for them to contact someone who is physically located in Europe.
Can you arrange Skype job interviews for me?: Yes. You will have to provide details about your requirements and expectations in terms of work experience, education, language proficiency etc. and we can arrange Skype interviews with as many truck drivers as you want.
Can you assist with interpretation (if needed)?: Yes - we can arrange for an interpreter to participate in the Skype call just in case if foreign truck driver is not perfectly fluent in English and employer does not want any misunderstandings during the job interview. At the present time this is available only for Serbo-Croatian language (and its local variants).
Can you do basic background checks outside Canada?: Yes, we can contact truck drivers' previous employers and ask them a basic set of questions (agreed with you ahead of time). Please contact us for details.

FAQ - Truck Drivers

Do you provide your services to Canadian truck drivers only?: No - we provide our services to both Canadian truck drivers and foreign truck drivers (foreign nationals who are willing to come to Canada and work as truck drivers).
Can you find work in Canada for me?: We understand you are busy driving and may not have time for sending your resume to Canadian employers. For that reason we offer services such as ACTIVE MARKETING and TARGETED ACTIVE MARKETING where we e-mail your resume to Canadian employers on your behalf. We can even try to arrange Skype interview for you however we do not negotiate job offers with Canadian employers. We play administrative role in the process. It is up to you and your Canadian employer to arrange a job offer.
Do you charge truck drivers for your services?: Yes, we do charge a fee for the services we provide. For details please see the Pricing page of our web site.
Is it legal to charge foreign workers for job related services?: In Canada it is illegal to charge foreign workers for securing job offer for them (which is not what we do) however, it is perfectly legal to charge for advertising foreign workers' skills, for assisting foreign workers with administrative tasks such as e-mailing their resumes on their behalf, interpreting for them, preparing resumes for them etc.
Do I have to sign a Service Agreement with you?: Yes, you will be asked to sign Service Agreement before you make agreed payment and before we provide services outlined in the Service Agreement.
When do I pay for your services?: You will be asked to pay for the services outlined in the Service Agreement once Service Agreement is signed by you and Canadiantrucker.org staff.
Can I get refund if I change my mind after I signed Service Agreement?: Details such as refund of the service fee will be clearly explained in the Service Agreement. Please read your Service Agreement carefully before you sign.
Do I have to put my profile on your web site?: No, you don't have to put your profile on our web site in situations when you, for example, need assistance with resume preparation, or you want our staff to translate your documents in English etc. However, if you choose options such as ACTIVE MARKETING or TARGETED ACTIVE MARKETING, you will have to create your profile on our web site. This will also increase the likelihood of Canadian employers contacting you and arranging job interview with you.
Do I have to put my video introduction on your web site?: No, you don't have to put your video introduction on our web site in situations when you, for example, need assistance with resume preparation, or you want our staff to translate your documents in English etc. However, if you choose options such as ACTIVE MARKETING or TARGETED ACTIVE MARKETING, you will have to create your profile on our web site and your video introduction will have to be in your profile. This will also increase the likelihood of Canadian employers contacting you and arranging job interview with you.
Do you guarantee I will find work in Canada?: We will do our best to help you find work in Canada however, no one can provide you with 100% guarantee that you will be offered a job by Canadian employer because you put your profile on our web site. We do believe that your chances of securing a job offer are much higher if you have a good resume, if you contact great number of Canadian employers, if you perform well on the job interview and if Canadian employers have some basic information about you as a person before they contact you (which is the purpose of your profile on our web site). We can help you with all those steps therefore we believe our services are of great importance to anyone who wants to work as a truck driver in Canada.
