    Been lurking in the background studying the companies while I've been waiting for visas and work authority to get fixed after a mess up when I first came into America.

    Found out the hard way about licensing transfers from overseas. Been driving B doubles and road trains back home for for many moons. So anyway once I was allowed went thru and did cdl permits on my own, and have paid a school for the minimum 5 hours and road test. Have been dealing with a recruiter from Schneider and one from US express (who never replies to emails lol) .

    Schneider seems like the best of the evils until I get 6-12 months under my belt here. because no company wants to take 20 years of experience from another country into account.

    As soon as I can I'll buy a truck and go back to O/O with a few drivers Aswell.

    Anyways thanks for the reads guys there is an abundance of info on this forum.

    Catch yas on the road.

    Pretty hard to get lonely when your Australian. Everyone wants you to talk... and repeat yourself over and over again because they can't understand us. LOL
