If running the port of Montreal lane, expect long wait times at some port/terminals and intermodal yards. Wage is flat rated for Montreal and local/regional runs. The pay was on time and is paid bi-monthly via direct deposit. When the Montreal lane slows down you may be asked to do local runs.

More of an on-the-job learning experience. Ask questions. Experienced drivers are your best resource. Prepare to do three to four runs a week to Montreal to remain at full-time status. The job itself is not difficult once you’ve gotten used to it.

A mix of old and new equipment. Older stuff is gradually being phased out for new. Elogs in all trucks. Most trucks are equipped with dashcams and driver-facing cameras. The biggest concern was spending more time in repair shops than on the road, YMMV. Hopefully, this has changed. 

Dispatch, good. Mechanical shops are top-notch. On-site garage for chassis trailer repair and inspection.

Benefits could be improved. Wages could be better to match the cost of living and inflation. 

Management is approachable. Driver recognition program ties in with quarterly safety meetings. Company barbecues (more for office staff as most drivers are out on the road).  

working at Musket Transport has been a life changing adventure for me as a business analyst. There is always a new challenge to overcome. And also,  have welcomed the opportunity to use my skills and attributes to make a difference and add value to the organization. The organization's culture is also very warm and welcoming. A typical day at the office includes: 
•	Manage risks, assumptions and constraints for requirements, and communicates to appropriate parties while facilitating collaborative sessions with large and diverse business stakeholder groups to drive requirements discovery, analysis, and review.
•	Apply advanced elicitation techniques to work with different types of stakeholder groups and analyzes and documents scope of the business solution using enterprise-standard requirements methodology. 
•	Assisting with Monitoring product lifecycles, ensuring specifications and functionality support business objectives and architecture decisions, undertaking re-development, as required.
•	Work with the business to design effective “To-Be” processes; identifies and defines detailed product requirements and use cases. 
•	Plan, design and modify practical manual and automated business procedures and assists with the design of business process and documentation.

Over the years I experienced many opportunities to collaborate with each department and different employees in various roles throughout the company. Due to the nature of the marketing department I was also able to manage relations with third party organizations that the company affiliates itself with. I've been able to create campaigns for their private career college, Commercial Heavy Equipment Training Ltd. - CHET as well as the private carrier Musket. The fast-paced nature of the industry can present its own challenges but it is also never boring. As long as you consider the individual set of priorities for managers and departments, collaboration can be very fruitful. 

Got my license through CHET (Muskets in house driving school) and worked there for over 16 years.Overall I really enjoyed my experience working there but had to move on when night shift work dried up.Dispatch refused to save any work for night shift even though there was only two of us.There was a distinct lack of communication between departments.Pay was good as long as work was available.Drivers generally ignored when putting ideas forward.Equipment was in really good condition overall.I enjoyed my time working there and was disappointed when I had to leave.

A typical work day includes working with miserable toxic people who hate the fact that their alive. They degrade the truck drivers and tear them down on a daily basis which causes their stress on the road to intensify. Management socks, when confronted with issues they lie to cover each other's backs. Workplace culture is toxic, the hardest part of the job is really keeping your hands to yourself as these people antagonize you and degrade you in front of staff. The most enjoyable part is leaving for the day.

The people that manages musket transport Ltd are not professional and does not have a equal opportunity for everyone mentality. This is one of the reason that drivers have left the company. 
The pay wasn’t bad when I was there but the disrespect and disregard for people really is somewhat inhumane. 
Some or the people in charge needs to go so the company can grow. 

great environment. when the company is busy it is nice to be away and making money but if the slow season hits and is severe then sharing loads and back calls become annoying, even the miles aren't really there.  the mechanics on site and the road side assistance are really helpful and get you going. Never any issues with the pay so that's always good. many of the destinations have places to park if you re doing US trailers. Brand new trucks even for newer employees great for crossing the border and dealing with the DOT. home 3 times a week if you really hustle.

Left for Montreal early in the morning and returned at night.  Never knew what time I would return.  Montreal ports would sometimes have line ups, traffic congestion, weather and construction were all unpredictable factors.
Good relation with management and co-workers.  Good team spirit although we all worked independently.
Hardest part was balancing work and family life.
Most enjoyable part was working independently and the fact that I was able to deliver loads on time.
