Companies that hire persons from overseas?

Hello there,

I was wondering if there is any trucking companies out there in the states that would hire people from overseas based on a 2 year contract or something?
I would really like to find out and get a definite answer if possible, as some people yes and some others say no.
I have no criminal records and also have a 4 year college degree in English studies, so language barrier isn't an issue.

Thanks a lot,

Abdou.

 

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply sir!
I will google the companies you mentioned and hopefully they'll have some websites with detailed info.

Thank you once again

 

Thanks Kickin Chicken.

I know that a visa is needed to work in the US but that's why I was wondering if companies offer work on a contract basis so that you get a visa based on the lenght of the contract.
I can also figure that I'll have to switch to a valid American driver's licence and that my licence will only be valid for a certain period of time (one to three months at best.)
The other requirements, I have no problem with. Have a clean record, don't smoke or drink nor did I ever get anywhere near drugs, no health problems, etc... And as mentioned previously, I hold a 4 year college degree in English studies so wiriting/reading/speaking English would never be a problem. On top of that, actually, I can even sound American or British! (I am into accents, lol )

Thanks for the advice, wishes and enlightenment kickin chicken

 

Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate your help

I have been doing some homework these days and being a member of these awsome forums is part of that homework. I contacted one of Schneider offices by email a few days ago and the reply I got was :"We require for all our new drivers to have a class A CDL with 6 months safe driving experience. We prefer at least 3 months OTR experience."
I asked for a little more information after that but I haven't got any response ever since.

I love the trucking industry in the US and how well organized it is compared to other places. I have friends that do international (long haul from my country Morocco, to and througout all Europe) and said I could join them after a year or so once I gained enough experience. But I am not that interested in Trucking in Europe. The big American rigs impress me, the thought of exploring the vast American land and experiencing the culture, are some of the factor that make me want to consider the US first. I have good friends in many states (NY, TX, FL, WA, CA, IL, NC, VA, KS, OK...) and most of them said why not give it a try, so that's what I am doing right now

Thank you once again

 

Hi KC, I jus received your PM but can't reply as I'm new to the site, and don't know how to PM you through a modulator either (excuse my ignorance! lol). Thank you soooo much for the info and help. You really made my day! Thanks for the add also and sorry for calling you "man" earlier, lol! See you around soon miss / M'aam

 

To KC,

I have never been to the US before. I have a cdl class A, but I am not an immigrant nor a resident in America. I live in Morocco at the moment.
I just wanted to let you know that just in case you thought I was living in the states.
You can check my profile if you have the time and you'll find my hotmail addy there just in case you wanted to send a message so then I can reply directly. I can't reply to your PMs here until my posts reach the number 50.
I have sent a few emails to some companies and awaiting some replies. I hope they'll get in touch.

Once again KC, I thank you and appreciate all your help. You made me feel so welcome here
