hi i'm new to this too. my husband is a truck driver in the uk but can't get a permanent job just now so we are looking to move to canada because they are always advertising for drivers. he gained his work experience working with the Driver Hire Agency. he started off with vans and after gaining his class 2 licence moved up to the larger vehicles. this got him used to different trucks as well as different types of work eg trunking or multi drop.
maybe in time this might be a way of you getting on the driving ladder. depending on where you live and what funding there is you may be able to grant to cover all or part of any driver training if it will help you get work. my husband stephen got this for his class 2 in april 07 and again in nov 08 for him to do his adr certificate so he can carry chemicals/hazardous materials etc
good luck either way
