Advice needed on move

Not too bad. The Century I was in model 2000 from Dalhmer freightliner had a set back axle and a turning circle of about 46 feet. Its just enough to fit a 53 foot trailer into most places you want in. But not all of them. Just the ones that matter.

And learning how to side hook a trailer in places like Kraft Foods will help you get them away from a wall when surrounded nose to tail by other trailers.

If I wanted a truck that turns like a witch, I would spend money on the old Ford 9000 series.

 

Great thread, will be following!

I don't want to get off topic, but OP what's it like driving a truck in Ireland and how is the pay and work days/hours like?

I want to do the opposite of you actually, and drive over on the mainland European continent and go live over there. The only thing is I can't find a way to get citizenship in any EU country, no employee is going to sponsor me as an American citizen. Which is BS.

I would do citizenship by ancestry, but the small Irish part of my family has been here since the 1850's and the French side all came to Quebec in the 1600's during colonization.

To Xheavy1, he can get dual citizenship just like the Jews to Israel and Turks to Turkey, ext. Talk to a lawyer OP but I'm pretty sure there's ways of not having to give up your Irish citizenship. I think you may have to "renounce" your Irish citizenship in front of an immigration official in the US, but that doesn't mean anything to the Irish. So just never denounce your Irish citizenship to any Irish immigration officials, and you should be good to hold onto to both passports.

America allows dual citizenship.
Your family here can help you locate an "accredited cdl school" in the Plymouth area or some drivers on here from that area can help.

 

I think @blairandgretchen are from somewhere else.....(maybe Australia??). Maybe he has some advice.

 

My sister went there a couple times recently and loves it there. Not sure if she went to Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland; two different countries. I'll ask her. She's planning another trip.

 

My bad China I got it mixed up I think.

What I was thinking about was a few years ago I researched citizenship to Spain. It was the Spanish embassy that made you (Americans) renounce your American citizenship to a Spaniard immigration employee in order to receive your passport for Spain (if you were eligible of course).

But that doesn't mean anything to American officials because Americans have to go through American procedures to denounce American citizenship.

So in this scenario while you renounced American citizenship in Spain, that meant jack all to the American government.

Meaning you'de have both a US and Spain passport.

However, I didn't know the American government recognizes dual citizenship for everybody, I thought it was only for certain nationalities or special exceptions?

 

I don't know. Haven't heard of the American laws not allowing American citizens to become citizens of other countries and keeping dual citizenship. Maybe you're right, I haven't researched that.
I've lived in China and own a home there. Love that country. Great experiences learning about other countries and cultures.
You'll probably feel right at home in Ireland. My sister does. We're German/Irish.
