Gaazunda,
Give it a try, myself and many other blokes I know got their first job up there with less than 300 hrs, and still alive to tell the tale. Unfortunately, the number of operators are dwindling, but there are still a couple up there that put on drivers with your sort of experience. Obviously its going to be more than being a line driver i.e. bookings clerk, accountant, customer drummerupper etc. The job you don't go for is the one you'll never get. Good luck.
