new member to board, longtime driver

Hello all,

I am new to this board...(so be gentle..lol)

I live in the frozen north otherwise known as Canada

I am a longtime driver 18 years so far...
I have done a variety of different trucking over the years


I have a general question as I am tired of living in the frozen tundra of canada and want to relocate to the US and drive down their.

I am thinking AZ,NV..or texas..

Does anyone know what the process is to do this..?

Do I need a company too sponcer me to drive for them down there??

I have trucked all over the states being based out of canada so I know my general way around down there. and the different DOT rules and all that fun stuff as per each state.

So if anyone knows how to do this or companies or contacts down in the US to do this let me know

thanks

 

thanks,

I am looking for more info on "how to"..defect...lol
lots of guys come from the US to canada or mexico to canada,even europe to canada...

SO how do I go the otherway?

thats my big question

Im not too interested in the whaa..whaa on other boards.

I CAN'T stand the ego driven. super trucker mentality reading most of it.or the captain know it alls.

drives me nuts...lol

altho I get a kick out of reading the newbies posts..
oh once apon a time I had that kind of enthusiasm about trucking....
not so much anymore...lol

ttyl

 

thanks,

yea...
I DID have my duel citizenship via my dad

I went to apply for a US passport last year and I showed them my greencard and they had a series of questions for me and since I never had perminate residence in the US and couldn't provide supporting documentation that I did...

they pulled my greencard...
they acused me of being part of a sleeper cell....(and I am white)
as I had my card BUT never resided in the states....
so I am a threat...I guess...

I said is the boyscouts of canada count as a terrorist group????
they didn't find it funny.

SO they yanked it and wanted too know how I got it in the first place.

aparantly under the "new" rules
you have to reside/work in the US for x number of months every 2-3 years too keep it active.
if not they CAN pull it.

I figured I had it So its no bubbles no troubles if I wanted to go reside in the US I could it never expired or was questioned
I had no trouble crossing over. before the fast card requirement. I showed up at the border and showed them my card and no questions asked...it was lovely....

I even photocopied it and sent it in with my fast card app and got approved before the other guys did...

So the company loved that part of it.


so to avoid the headache again

I am interested in going the sponcership route like westcan does or standard general with mexicans....importing them in to work in canada

get sponcered...do my time with sponcer company, let them do all the paperwork and once I get my citizenship and fullfill my contract then go do what I want too do down there...

but its proving harder said then done...

To go hang out at the US consolate office again isn't on my list of things I want too do to reapply.
and my dad has since passed so its a whole different process to getting my greencard again.

So I am finding out it is a great idea

in theory only...

I just want to go down and live somewhere warmer and be able too work too, for a change.

maybe now iggy lost big lastnight maybe I can call him and seek refuge with him down there...HAHA....what an idiot
