    Yeah, I saw that too. Thats just a description of a work visa and advertising their business. Call them and ask about guarantees. There are even trucking companies in Chicago that advertise H2B for foreigners, but those foreigners are told that they gotta pay couple grand upfront to be eligible and all of them just get scammed

    Idk… I just ran across it and they said that’s often the case that they use for their logistic customers. I honestly have no clue how it works.

    I looked into that and did a research many years ago. Trust me, if work visas were allowed for truckers, every single immigrant trucking company would bring drivers from overseas.
    I, myself, had like 10 people from my old high school contact me over the years about sponsoring them a job here, they drive in Europe now and would love to come to US.
    Luckily for people here US government has not become completely stupid yet to let everyone in.

    I worked in the oil field we had a Cuban guy with a CDL. New Mexico 10 years ago you could take the test in Spanish. Good guy didn't speak any English.

    India, they make like $5 a day. I know someone who told me a village will raise 8 or 10k to get some over here. Then he pays the village back plus like 50%. Rice and beans with a cooker in the truck while making $500 a week is good for them. I couldn't do it. There level of poverty compared to us is huge.

    Yeah, some of those guys come over here and think living in a sleeper with heat and air-conditioning is like a 5 star hotel.

    Thanks for proving my point further. I'm not going to debate this with you. Plenty of evidence has been provided that proves the process takes place AND that it takes place using H2B. I'll add four more sources but you and I both know you'll just brush it off because it doesn't fit your narrative.

    USA Visa Options for Commercial Truck Drivers - Malescu Law, PA - Miami FL Business & Immigration Lawyers

    Here's a couple threads found right here on TTR. Sure didn't have to go far to these...

    Can trucking companies do work visa

    CDL on H2B Visa

    Here's a place they one can literally pay to gain entry...

    The problem is in the lack of quality jobs that were exported overseas. China gets bigger and soon enough their foot of living will exceed the one here, if it did not already.
    Only warehouses are being built here. They need fork lift operators and order pickers for 19 dol an hour.Don't want it? Go drive a Swift truck.
