I was trying to make sense out of what you said but it was really hard, anyways it’s your opinion like you said. 1. If anyone doesn’t want go into trucking in Canada because of the cost to get the CDL, it simply means he or she is not informed, In the US going to trucking school to get your CDL can cost you anywhere around $3k to $6k however you don’t have to pay that out of pocket, the company you want to drive for can take up the expenses and deduct it from your weekly pay as agreed on the contract while you’re driving for the company until you pay off the loan. Some community colleges also offer CDL classes on a way more shipper price but it takes longer than a private trucking school. 2. You said most Africans living in Canada are rich back home that’s why they don’t want to drive trucks in Canada, really???, if they’re rich back home why do they relocate to Canada in the first place? 3. If a person doesn’t want to drive trucks because of what friends back home will say that means the person is extremely sick and needs urgent help. Now listen, Truck driving is a lifestyle not a job and not everyone can live that lifestyle, truck driving keeps you away from home, keeps you away from friends and family, keeps you away from social life and can cost you your marriage if you’re not married to a supportive wife. Truck driving is a service to humanity because the only thing that did not end up in the back of a truck and trailer is your body and take a second to think about it. everything we use starting from home to your workplace was moved by trucks. The only reason i can think of why Africans are not driving trucks in Canada is the weather, it snows a lot in Canada so maybe they’re afraid of that. Or maybe they don’t have their papers. I have been trucking in the US for the past 6years and i can tell you I’m proudly a truck driver and i can’t do any other job other than truck driving. The money is there especially when you own your truck and company, the freedom is there, you can work as you wish and make as much as you want, l have been to 46 states in the US getting paid while doing what i love and there are so many Africans driving trucks in the US making a great living out of it!
1. While it's true that there are various ways to fund CDL training in the US, the situation in Canada is different. In Canada, the costs can be significantly higher, and the funding options are not always as accessible or structured as they are in the US. Many trucking companies in Canada do not offer the same level of financial support for new drivers, which can make it more challenging for individuals who are just starting out. This financial barrier is a legitimate concern and can deter people from pursuing a career in trucking, regardless of how well-informed they are. 2. The statement that most Africans in Canada are "rich back home" is a generalization that does not reflect the diverse motivations and backgrounds of African immigrants. People migrate for a variety of reasons, including better opportunities, education, quality of life, or to escape difficult circumstances. It's not always about being "rich" or "poor"; it's about seeking a better future. Simplifying their motivations to wealth status is not only inaccurate but also dismissive of the complex realities they face. 3.Cultural perceptions and societal expectations play a significant role in career decisions for many people, especially immigrants. In some cultures, certain professions are highly esteemed, while others may not be. It’s a matter of individual values and societal pressures, not mental health. It’s important to respect and understand these nuances rather than dismiss them outright.
Pls I'm interested in getting CDL, I'm from Nigeria and a truck driver and forklift operator. Pls can I get a company that will sponsor while I pay thru salary
@@odumosutaiwo1. Some Africans being rich back home and being the reason they couldn’t pickup a certain Job in Canada are your statement not mine so i can only judge you based on your statement. 2. To each his own, everyone knows what works for him and like i previously said, truck driving is not for everyone. 3. Some African immigrants also go for the job title wether they’re making a good living out of the job or not that’s a story for another day. For example, some went for nursing because of the noise that comes with being a nurse but in reality they may not be making a good living out of it. 4. They’re arguably handful of opportunities in the US or Canada that are better than truck driving such as being a doctor, pharmacist, engineering, and some IT professionals. 5. People pick up a career for a different reasons, some choose a certain career out of passion and money while some choose a certain career strictly for money and some even choose a certain career based on how they want to be seen in the society but at the end do what works for you and be happy with it. Everyone must not be a doctor or truck driver, do what makes you happy and be successful in it! Being a truck driver or picking up a trucking career is not just driving trucks around there’s also a business part of it that can make you a millionaire over the years such as building your own fleets and have people drive for you, but it’s a journey that starts with a step such as being a driver first to learn the skills and business part of it…good luck to everyone in your different career path!
You are not informed at all. He was talking about Canada here, not the US🤦🏾. I also stopped reading at "if they were rich back home, why did they come here?". Do you know that most of the people he was referring to in his videos came to Canada via PR? This simply means many of them had good jobs. People leave for more than money. Security, infrastructure, more stable ecomony and for their kids.
Hello Taiwo, I love your channel as I have been following you for a while. I'm a class 1 truck driver from West Africa. I moved to Canada in December last year and got my license March this yrs. I would like to tell my story on your platform when possible.

Mr Taiwo can some outside the country apply for the truck driver or vocational school which there tution fee is not that crazy like university tuition fee ...Thank you 😊
I hold a UK truck driving license and would like to know whether I need to exchange my license or start the licensing process from the beginning in Canada. Thank you for your assistance.
Thanx Mr. Taiwo, anyone who dospises any job's insane. Every job as long as it feeds you should be respected. Thanks for sharing great info. But bra!am not being racist or what; i hear Indians in Canada carried India to Canada😅.
