Profile For Scott M.

Thanks everyone for their help,

I have contacted your mate 6 string rhythm and XCELERATIONRULES are you an Australian, who is already over their driving in America?

Thanks for your advice.

Any further or other advice is welcomed

Hi

My name is Scott Martin and I am a young 34 year old driver wanting to get experience and work and live in America.

I am going for the Australian version of a CDL (road train license) next week, and my aim is to make it to America; to become a truck driver.

I have had 2 hours of training in a Heavy Combination (18 Wheeler), 200hrs driving HR and under 500hrs driving MR trucks.

Due to the fact I lack the hours, I am getting knocked back by companies in Australia. I have already applied for the 2016 green card lottery, but I was hoping to get their quicker via a work visa if possible. I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve my life long goal of becoming a Truck Driver and a permanent US Citizen.

I have been in formed by the US Embassy in Australia, that if you did wish to hire me, you must: 1)Pick the correct visa, 2)have a I-140 form (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker) 3)Labour Certification Form, 4)Fixed deposit form for my expenses whilst in the states, or until first pay cheque.

I would be happy to negotiate a lower wage in lue of training or other associated costs, or a repayment scheme straight out of my pay-cheque.

I also maybe able to get assistance from my local employment agencies to get to the states, if I had a letter of employment. Also since I am becoming an American Citizen, I would be able to draw on my Superannuation (401k), which is only 2500 usd, but this would take a little while to do.

I have also had reports from 3 Australian friends over in the USA permanently now, that to get a valid drivers license, I have to go to the DMV and show them my Australian Drivers License and Passport and they can issue me and American one.

Can anyone help or know of the correct procedure in which to do this. Being on the dole/welfare isn't a huge money saver as I barely get 400 aud a fortnight.

Kind Regards and Thanks in Advance.

Scott

Is this the only way to get into the Trucking industry in America? If you are unable to help, can you advice me of a company that could please?
