Lookin 4 Trucking Or Heavy Machinery Job (Toronto)

Hello

I am looking to make more money (who isn't lol).... Well I am currently working for a trucking company locally (throughout Toronto, Ottawa and London ,general areas).. The odd time I have to travel into Michigan and Ohio with this specifc company... I am not making too bad of a wage, but again I would like to make more.. I am currently making $15.50/hr (raise soon to come)... The company I work for is out of Stouffville, On which is about a 30mins in travel time for me..

I live in Whitby.. So I am looking for a job closer to home if I can, so I only have a little amount of travel time.. Of course if the job pays enough per hour then I am willing to travel depending on the job and such..

I know there is potential for me to make in around $30-40/hr which is the wages I would be really happy to earn and would probably be a job I would stay at since it's a really good amount of money.. $15.50 is alright, but I mean I'd like to make more to afford toys, big house etc...

I am a truck driver right now, but not by choice.. I am trying to get into Heavy Machinery (I went to school for it but was never successful in gaining a career in this yet!!!).... I am certified for the following excavator, backhoe loader, bobcat/skidsteerer, grader, bulldozer, dump truck... I am a fast learner and I find myself to be a good operator. Now if I can find a good paying job in trucking I may stick to that, but I think machinery would pay more. I know how to use a forklift but not certifed on it anymore..

I am trying to get into some of the bigger companys as they pay good, good benefits and would be nice to work for them too.. I am tryng to get into Miller, Hard-Co, Town Of Whitby or Ajax, City of Pickering or Oshawa.. Or the Durham Region Works Department. I would even consider City of Toronto if the pay is right...

Baiscally what I am getting at is.. If anyone knows of a place that is hiring in my fields. Or if you work for any bigger company and maybe have some "pull" then that would be great.. To be honest with you.. If I can get into a bigger company like Miller as a Garbage or Recyling guy I will do that.. Just to get my foot in the door.. It's better to be doing something in a big company to get your foot in the door.. then it is to not have the inside at all.. Usally they offer these jobs to insiders first then they go public..

Any help would be great.. You can post here or email me a prostar01@rogers.com

Again.. Thanks

I would go apply at all of them period, force them to take your resume and call them weekly to check on updates, dont be stalker about it, but make it know you are very interested in a job there. There may be someone on these forums that could provide you with what you want, but its highly doubtfull...
