Lets say I was denied a Drivers licence in the USA because I'm not a resident of the United States, can an American citizen resident in Canada be able to get employment in the USA I just would like anecdotal affirmation that they are able to be employed by an American Company
the fmcsa I thinks allows it but would like know first hand

I doubt anyone in the states is going to hire you without a US drivers licence.
-
So Canadian Drivers License holders can only work in the US with Canadian carriers?
-
Can you even get a Canadian drivers licence if you are an American citizen?
-
For this type of thing it doesn't really matter what the FMCSA says, it is what Immigration has to say that's important. As would be the case if I was driving for a Canadian carrier, I can only go Canada-US-Canada, or Canada-Canada. I cannot go US-US.
It isn't so much about the truck, it's about the legal work status of the driver.Last edited: Jul 1, 2015
LGarrison Thanks this. -
I was a Canadian driving an American plated truck at one point. I even had to cross the border and pick up the truck everytime. The company gave me paperwork if the question ever arose about how I was getting paid and what my actual job was to prove to the border guards why they needed me and that I wasn't taking away an Americans job

Same here. Cdn driver, American company. Work rules are strict for me in the states... I can do certain things but not some things. I drive there five days a week.

I teamed with a US citizen (he was a permanent resident in Canada ,new card every 5 yrs) and had a MB licence and was able to interstate in the USA ,,also at the firm were a couple of first nation drivers on deck work and they could interstate also.
