    I can shell out 150 grand for a new truck if i were a canadian, but i thought of coming in as TFW first, and later on buying a new truck and work as an owner operator.Not every person that migrates to other countries is poor or uneducated

    Absolutely correct. One countries loss is usually another's gain !! As I recall, that's how the US was able to be the first atomic super power - thanks Nazi Germany !!

    That said, if you have the ability to financially 'self sponsor' by means of opening your own business (owner operator), all the power to you ! I have NO idea of how that stuff works anymore, but tons of Asian (China, India, Korea, etc ) folks have already done it. Again, keep us informed. 'Luck

    Good thing for you that YOUR boat landed here in 1649, Pete !! LOL . Don't throw nuthin - my boat wasn't far behind Bro !!

    BTW - how's yer snow situation in the driveway ?? You and Patty booked that cruise yet ? Yer lucky not to be livin' here ( NE ) !!!

    This winter would be a pretty strong deterrent for ANYONE who wanted to immigrate here from the tropics !!!!

    I just get mad because we were all immigrants
    the mills in Lawrence and Lowell Mass were full of Germans then Irish
    then French wonder where they came from
    before they moved the mills south

    winter is never going to end
    5 feet of snow in NH
    -10 in Green Bay WI when I left
    blowing drifting snow in WY but that happens in July
     
    Speedloader Thanks this.

    Sorry NattyBoy .... Off Topic again .............


    Ain't it the truth Pete.

    Speaking of Lawrence, if we're able to get together for that BBQ this year, remind me to tell you the story of how I found the stolen Lawrence Police Car behind Star Container !!

    I wasn't even aware they were still taking foreigners into the trucking game over there, I thought it had washed up a few years ago. Good to know cheers.

    Welcome to the forums 'Ozzie83'. Are you really from OZ ? I ask because it's kina funny. The Aussie drivers want to come run North America, and the North American drivers wanna go to Oz and drive super trains out of zinc mines.
