First you will need to get your Class 3 or Class 1 Alberta Operator's (Driver's) License.

I'm not sure if truck driving is an ideal occupation for a new immigrant, but good luck with your career.

As a truck driver, you need to know the geography of the areas in which you'll be driving. This is where a new immigrant could be at a disadvantage.

You should also call a truck-driving school to get more details on what's involved. Keep in mind there are many types of truck-driving jobs, so the type of work and hours can vary considerably.
