Green Card holder looking at getting into trucking. Am I hirable?

Yes. Some companies cannot hire drivers with less than 160 hour of instruction. You would be smarter to find the job you want to work or that works best for you BEFORE you pick the school.

 

I'm bad about not reading through everything, so hope I'm not just repeating something others have said. If you can while searching for other employment look into potentially working the dock somewhere that also trains after a given time. The market is crap right now for new drivers looking for good employment, but if you can work up into the driver position you can benefit that way.

 

Look, it doesn't matter what your work history is, you don't even have to have one just a means to justify the time and some proof. The company has to document the attempt to verify the work history and that's it.

 

May want to check a different school. I do not get a good vibe from the contract provider (Regen Trucking School) for the school you referenced.

This one looks like it may be a better fit for your needs. Based in Cadillac.

Now that you know some questions to ask may want to start a conversation and get their guidance.

Sure, come join the party. There are thousands of illegals and undocumented foreigners out here driving trucks.

we see them everyday at shippers and receivers and truck stops .
