    There is a computer program called Rosetta Stone that is very highly recommended for learning languages. It is used by government officials when they are preparing for foreign travel.

    It is very expensive though.

    I found a similar type program through my local public library. And it is free!

    I went to the library and got a library card. Then the courses are available online.

    Many Chinese companies are distribute foods in NYC. I worked in one of them for 5 months, and worked in another company in GA for 4 months.
    I drove those trucks are safely and steady. I can handle that 6 and 10 speed gear.

    :biggrin_255:Yes, that is ready good. but it doesn't fits me. (I don't have plenty time) now I learn English with a software calls SuperMemo.
    It will help you:

    • learn fast
    • organize your knowledge
    • forget about forgetting

    Sorry I didn't see your post.
    Because I want to drive around the USA.

    I worked almost 90 hours per week and drove then carried foods with a hand truck in Atlanta.
    I don't want to drive a truck and carry that 60 or 100 pound a bag of foods and get the low pay.:biggrin_2552:

    u work hard, man! Don't give up. I think a regular company will not ask the driver to carry the heavy material, may be I am wrong. but how could a driver carry the staff after driving long distance..... right?

    jiayou!

    Your experience is good.
    But what I didn't read in this yet, is that Communication in the English language, with the ability to understand and be understood is a REQUIREMENT by the DOT.

    You must be able read and understand signs, and what the DOT officer is asking you to do if you are pulled over.
    Until, and when you can read and speak the language enough to understand and be understood. You will need more work.

    Have you tried to get into any language courses through a local school (community college or other type)?
