Our Owner Operators – Jagdeep

Here is another example of how hard work can pay off.

We are happy to announce another success story! This is Jagdeep, one of our newest Owner Operators. Jagdeep first started with TransX as a trainee. He worked hard, kept his nose clean, and quickly graduated to solo Canada/USA Company Driver. He continued to work hard and last summer, he bought his first truck which was a 2013 Frieghtliner Cascadia.

Aside from being a very hard worker, Jagdeep is also very friendly and well-liked by everyone who meets him. We always enjoy his happy attitude and smile when he comes in to the office.

Congratulations, Jagdeep, on your recent purchase of a brand new 2018 Western Star Tractor! We wish you continued success and a happy life for you and your young family!

Did you catch this feature about the trucking industry that aired on CTV Kitchener? As reported by CTV, the Canadian Trucking Alliance is predicting that by 2020, the industry is expected to be about 30,000 drivers short of filling all open positions across Canada.

Even with this shortage, many people are unaware of the benefits of a truck driving career. Those of us in the industry know that trucking can be “well-paying, stable field of work where careers can often last for 20 years or more – and can take people to place they’d never get to otherwise.” Continue reading →

Are You Ready to Become an Owner Operator

Get into the Driver’s Seat with the TransX Leasing Program

Any way you look at it, semis are expensive and they can be a big investment for owner operators (not to mention the risks involved!). If you are a company driver looking to take the next step in your trucking career, the TransX Leasing Program can help you get there – without the hassle and the huge down payment.

With many years of experience in the transportation industry, we know the barriers that prevent many good drivers from becoming owner operators. Whether it is financing, lack of capital or bad credit, we want to help qualified candidates take the next step in their careers.

What you need to know:

Internal applicants must have a proven track record and deemed a low safety and compliance risk.
External applicants must meet all of our hiring criteria. Our hiring standards will not be lowered to attract leased operators.
All applicants must be willing to run in Canada and the United States, work 24 days per month and be away from home for up to 12 – 14 days per trip.
All applicants must also participate in a Business Skills for Owner Operator seminar presented by TransX (at no cost to the owner operator).
