The company started recruiting drivers earlier this year and is offering incentives of $1,500 weekly guarantees for 鈥淎ll Star drivers鈥� and various sign-on bonuses for part-time drivers.
鈥淰ernon, like many other small to medium sized communities in B.C. is underserved when it comes to safe, reliable and affordable transportation options,鈥� said Ravi Dhami, Uride鈥檚 regional operations manager for Western Canada.
