Look up user 'Patrick Hesler'. He's an expat trucker here in the states. He'll help you out......hopefully:)

Re: brit driver/canada
 

thanks for that how do i contact him on here?:confused:

Re: brit driver/canada
 

I misspelled his name. It's Patrick Hasler. He's not on often so give him a chance to reply.

Here's his profile page for you to send a PM from

But Pat moved here on the marriage visa.

I don't think there is a trucker visa for the US. There is a list of available visas in the Wiki, but I doubt that any one of them fits.

Re: brit driver/canada
 

His question was about retesting for the US. I'm sure Patrick knows about transitioning from one country's trucking industry to another.

dude, get canadian citizenship then see if you can get a NAFTA transfer.

Dude, you're talking like an American. :p

Re: brit driver/canada
 

First things first...no use re-testing or even finding out about it if there is no chance of him living here. The OP should look here first:

His logic might be a bit screwy here then.

I drink Folgers and everything.

Re: brit driver/canada
 

In your opinion, does Florida need truckers?

Re: brit driver/canada
 

No shit! Even pissy Budweiser? LOL

Re: brit driver/canada
 

i didnt know if the truck driver shortage in the US was enough for employers to get the go ahead to employ outsiders as in canada which is made a little easier

Re: brit driver/canada
 

Truck driver isn't on the NAFTA list.
