A friend in Mexico wants to drive in the U.S.

Yes. Pretty much. He'd have to become a citizen ( I'm pretty sure about this).

 

I believe you're correct. He may need a pre-hire & a sponsor otherwise for an H1B visa. Google US Embassy & Visa for the straight info. for your friend.

 

does he already drive a truck? does he have a mexican CDL or like it? He may be able to get work visa which you could talk to a lawyer or search online for. also he could find a sponsor company to take responsibility for him. no clue where or how you would start looking for that. i guess start calling border bussinesses.

 

Hell, tell'im to get a job with Werner Enterprises Mexican fleet. He'll be up here in the states swiping freight from american fleet drivers in jig time!

 

We have enough drivers up here right now

 

Tell him to sneak on up here and work with the rest of them. I don't think the U.S. Government minds anymore.

 

Lol i figured this thread would take that turn, even before clicking it.

 

If he cant move up here or there is a delay for visa, tell him to hire on a company down there that is part of the Pilot Program. Those are the Mexican trucking companies that haul freight from Mexico to Canada. They are also allowed to pickup and deliver all over the US. There are around 14 Mexican trucking companies that are in/part of the Pilot Program down there. Be safe out there drivers.

 

There's still a chance it might make a U turn
