Trucking abroad? Could be fun!
I came across a YouTube video where a Danish trucker told about the time he went to Canada for a year to get work experience as a truck driver. That got me thinking: If the program is still there, once I finish my full trucker education, maybe I could inquire about doing that? Of course, it's still years away, so they might not have that program by then. But, what if they have? Trucking for a year in Canada? I wouldn't say no.The guy in the video had nothing but good things to say about the experience. He also said, that every school, that educates truck drivers, sometimes have posters up, with advertisements for the program. If my school has that, I will definitely inquire about it. The video provided a link where people could read more about it - so I did. Unfortunately, the program has been put on hold because they are having a hard time getting work- and residence permits, no doubt because of the pandemic.
Hopefully they will have sorted it out when I am finished, because I would love to do that! Imagine a YEAR in Canada, driving a truck on the highways, with some awesome scenery.
The video, I am talking about, can be seen here. It's in Danish, but it's subtitled
I am going towards an exciting future, for sure!

Check out Ice road truckers. They make on average between 40,000 and 50,000 a season. Not all that much,but the only risk is your truck falling through the ice, and you being drowned in 0 degree water. But hey... You're a risk taker.
ooby: There are plenty of trucking jobs in Denmark, but it's more the experience of driving huge trucks on huge highways in a big country. Plus it would be a huge boost for my cv to put "Previous experience: Driving in Canada" on it
