Speaking with Legit.ng, a relocation expert, Akintobi Glory, confirmed that truck driving is highly lucrative abroad.
She, however, noted that one needs the right license to operate and shed light on what is involved. In her words:
"It (driving) is highly lucrative, especially truck driving. Landing such jobs is easy, but you must have the right license that shows you can drive a truck, which you can get after graduating from a truck driving school.
"You as a Nigerian is advised to learn how to drive a truck and get a recommendation letter from Nigeria showing you have experience in driving. This will help reduce cost, as the cost of driving school is high in Canada.
"The salary range depends on your experience, hours of work, and province. But on average $40,000-$80,000 per Annum. There are people who earn over 100,000."
