I have a question that I am having a hard time finding an answer to. I am former U.S Air Force and got out and stayed on Guam. Guam is a U.S territory but when I separated from the military I had to get a local drivers license. I have had my fun here and am seriously looking at moving back to the mainland and pursuing a career as a truck driver. My question is will the trucking companies accept my Guam drivers license? On the applications I started to fill out they say it has to be U.S drivers license and Guam does not come up as an option. I am finding the only way to talk to a recruiter is submit an application but if I do not have a current U.S drivers license I know my application will be rejected. Any advise or a way to contact the Company provided training companies to find out if they will accept. I will obviously get my AZ drivers license and Commercial permit on my return but do not want to return only to be denied and have no possibility of getting into the company sponsored training.

BMI:

Body mass index (BMI)

BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:

  • Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
  • Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit

It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.

Company Sponsored Training:

A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.

The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.

If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.

Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.

You're going to have to get that transferred to a U.S. license before getting anywhere in the application process. There are plenty of companies that go out of their way to accommodate former military personnel so you should have no problem getting the ball rolling quickly once you get back here and get that license changed over.

Here is some information we have on trucking careers for military personnel:
