CDL requirements for foreigner

Luckily my parents didn't name me Jack, but definitely a joke I've heard plenty of times, haha

Thanks for all the replies, unfortunately I can't reply all.

Thanks Blair. You're absolutely right, the green card seems impossible. Guess the only sure way is going to Canada, but it's quite a hard decision, since I would rather live in the States. But oh well, I guess Canada also has its perks, especially when coming from Denmark. Marrying a southern gal sounds like a dream, but would probably be impossible, since I can't spend longer than 90 days in the States haha.

I actually hold a bachelor in Technology Management and Marine Engineering and a C1/D visa for seafarers. This Visa is pretty pointless though, but perhaps this could help me get a green card.

I will definitely apply for the green cad lottery, and have already contacted a few trucking companies, and a visa agency, so hopefully I can get some inputs from them.

I have never heard of a US driver in Europe, so I highly doubt there is an exchange program. Comparing salaries in Europe is hard, as it's not one country. Eastern Europe and Southern Europe definitely have a lower salary, but Scandinavian, and especially danish, drivers are some of the highest paid drivers in the world.

I highly doubt you would enjoy it though. Trucks are way smaller, and the roads are a lot smaller. Most of Europe is definitely not build for our "big" trucks.

 

Thank you. I have actually already contacted these guys, just waiting for them to contact me.

You're right, I bet I could make that work, but US is just a bit more attracting. But definitely a solution that will work.
