    You do realize that the Captain has called Abandon Ship? This isn’t the only forum being hit by expats trying to get the hell out of dodge. The crackdown is real.

    Fear has a way of making truck drivers or burger flippers out of the best of men

    I’m going there eventually. But I’ll wait until all this settles down.

    I'm sorry, I have no idea but it would definitely be after you graduate CDL school,and for sure not until a trainer turns you loose.Basically it all depends on you and how quickly you can learn and perform.

    Thanks for sharing, you drove for Schneider to get CDL and then changed to Swift, am I get you right? Sounds like a good path. Would you mind tell me the reason you changed to Swift, is it about money?

    That's cool! I never know there are so many Chinese immigrants live in Vegas, it is eye opening. No state income tax and food tax sounds irresistible. When I got there, should I take course in Southwest first and then apply job in CFI or go to CFI for CDL program directly? Which way would you recommend? Right now I am thinking may be go to CFI's CDL program will be easier for a newcomer like me.

    Thank you, I understand that first year would not pay very well, may be need one or two years experience to reach to 55k.

    CFI school is good. If you decide to move to Nevada, you won't have to change jobs because CFI hires in Nevada and Connecticut. If CFI will take you, just use their cdl school.
