Euro O/O's allowed to drive in US?

Ricky and Mark are my countrymen... at least Ricky is Mark might be a US with finnish ancestors.
They left Werner on Friday and no the truck is not theirs.
They will be back for another outfit starting the 23rd this month.

About Visas and working permits.


There´s ways to get around.. an Investors visa is one...with 100000 deposit the last time I checked... also it´s best for one to get a lawyer specialising in these matters and do the work for you.... while the process is going your´e allowed to work..
Now that might answer all them illiterate immigrants.

But If one is going to work in the USA prepare for it for the long run..and possibly retire in the US too.


Now The thougth of taking a Scania for example over to US ( in fact there´s been a lot of talk about it over here)..well that would be some sight for American truckers... especially when that alien looking and V8 equipped rig blows their doors off...

Seems them Cabotage laws are same allover.

 

guess A Trucker aint one of them jobs... but a Race Mechanic/engineer is...or even a sailing instructor...

 

European cabotage regulations force drivers to return to their home country empty. How inefficient is that?

The EU transport ministers agreed that beginning in 2014 trucks should be allowed to take cargo to another country and to make three extra trips within that nation to pick up and deliver local goods there.
But the trucks still would not be permitted to pick up cargo and take it back home. And that limitation led the Netherlands, Britain, the Czech Republic and Ireland to air misgivings about the plan. They said it would still keep too many trucks driving home empty, which goes against the EU's ambitious goals of slashing carbon emissions.

 

Well i hat to think that one of these Euro trucks would ever blow the doors off a US truck. Unless they are better than the ones i have drove over here in Iraq. I have drove the mercdes the scania, Mann and the Iveco and belive me they could all learn something from a good Detroit or Cat motor they may have big legs over in Europe but but the ones they have here are gutles wonders for sure.

 

All I know is what I read in the newspaper. Here are other articles about backhaul to your home country.

Apparently, actual practice differs from the regulations in the books. Donati's mention of fish and oranges reminds me of "exempt commodities" in the U.S. Unprocessed agricultural products are exempt from trucking authority requirements.
