Automotive Parts Salary


  • Description

Here’s what you need to know about auto parts salaries in Toronto:

As an automotive parts consultant, you earn an auto parts salary, plus a bonus or commission structure. That means better performance leads to better pay. On average, you can expect to earn up to $40,000, plus benefits – even more if you are a top performer.   Think about that – you have the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have a guaranteed base salary, plus the satisfaction of knowing you have the potential to earn additional income.

Any job in the services sector is a good bet because government statistics show that a lot of retirements (about 45%) are expected in “Sales & Service” and “Business, Finance and Administration” over the next five years.    That means almost one out of every two jobs in those sectors will need to be filled by new employees. Better still, Canada is expected to generate one million new jobs over the next five years – and 75% of those jobs will be in the service sector. In short, if you want to increase your chances of getting employed – and staying employed – a career in a service job like Auto Parts Consultant makes good sense.

Dispatching & Transportation Operations

  • Description

Dispatching and Transportation Operations Training in Surrey

A trucking career can involve much more than simply driving a truck. Trucking, or the transportation operations industry, can cover a wide range of career opportunities. Consider, for example, the definition given to transportation operations by Industry Canada: “The trucking sector consists of those companies that move goods by means of road transport (carriers). It includes firms that undertake the transport of goods for compensation (for-hire carriers), the trucking operations of firms that maintain their own fleets of vehicles (private carriers), and the business of owner-operators who haul trailers or other equipment using their own trucks (either leased or owned).”

This definition illustrates the sheer breadth and scope of the transport operations industry and hints at the numerous job titles and functions it encompasses, including:

  • Operations Manager
  • Local Dispatcher
  • Highway Dispatcher
  • Driver Manager/Trainer/Recruiter
  • Load Planner
  • Safety & Compliance Officer
  • Representative
  • Log Book Auditor
  • Fleet Maintenance
  • Loss Prevention Administrator
  • Warehouse Supervisor
  • Customer Service Rep
  • Sales

These trucking careers all have very different earning potential, though generally speaking, starting salaries in the transportation operations industry are quite high. Graduates from the Dispatching and Transportation Operations Program are well positioned to take advantage of the high demand for trained graduates, and may be hired by major transportation companies.
