    Hi there

    I am from Ireland and moved to California recently to be with my wife, at present i am going through the process of becoming legal to work.

    I have held my HGV class 1 (cdl A equivalent) license at home since 1997 and have hauled all over Europe from Ireland for a total of about 5 years. I understand i will have to do my CDL test here to haul but was wondering what my best option is? Should i pay for trucking school or try a cheaper alternative? Also should i train with a company or just a regular school. What i was also wondering was will a trucking company look at my European experience favorably or will they not consider it?

    Any advice anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
