You'd have to call. But I don't see why not. They may want some recent history from you, good luck!
-
Yes, make some calls.
You will need an original birth certificate and social security card-not laminated. All companies require this for new drivers for their first job. -
Did you travel here on a visa that allows you to work? Are you a permanent resident? Many companies want a green card which if you have only been here a year I doubt you have. The insurance companies may have a problem with your lack of regular driving experience. When I moved here many many moons ago from England I came on a work visa and had to stay 3 years before being allowed to apply for a green card, rules may have changed. Call anyways, good luck. -
I have my green card and SS long time ago, it just a year ago that i decided to live permanently in USA, so im allowed to work, so my issue would be the lack of regular driving.Dryver Thanks this.

i called Earl Henderson (thanks Chinatown) and they told me that i dont have problem to apply, and i just will need to bring my birth certificate from my country of birth.Chinatown Thanks this.

Well, there you go; soon you'll be traveling the USA. Yep, Henderson doesn't fool around with the small stuff; they just get right down to business and get you on the road. In 12 months you can move on to most any company you want if you decide to. Some of those other companies act like you're applying to be an astronaut. Take care and keep us posted if you will.

i forgot to ask, i need to have the CDL permit to apply, and if yes, can i have the permit CDL here in NY and make the school in the state that the company assign? or how that works?
-
No you will have to get your CDL permit in Illinois when you get to there school .I just talked to eric one of the recruiters for henderson and he said I would have to get my permit again once I get to there school even though I already have my permit from Indiana ...
