    Hey y’all, so I called Jim Palmer trucking this morning as I was pretty much set and ready to jump on board with them to get my CDL and start my training. The recruiter said I needed to be a permanent resident or citizen to work for them because of their insurance policy. My work permit allows me to work legally in the country and I know I can get a CDL in Texas, where I live, I just can’t get any hazmat endorsement. He said Werner Enterprises hires people like me. I’m going to check with them and see what they tell me, but do any of y’all know any other companies that hire people with a work permit but no permanent residency? It is my dream to make a career out of trucking, so if Werner is my only option I’ll go with them, but I would like to see what other companies are available to compare. Thank you all for the help

    Try these in Texas:
    FFE (Frozen Food Express)
    KLLM Transport
    Stevens Transport
    Millis Transfer
    Western Dairy Transport
    All these have school in Texas.
    Which city are you in or near in Texas. Maybe some other choices that hire with a cdl permit.
     
    Alright17 Thanks this.

    You will need somehow a residence on your CDL A when you get ahold of one. (Plus your birth certificate etc)

    Follow @Chinatown advice. Don’t get discouraged. You’ll find a job as long as you have a work permit, you’ll be ok.

    Hello I'm trying to get a cdl as well I am in Dallas and same with daca. I have read some conflicting posts about getting a cdl I was born in Mexico. From what I have read is that if you are from Mexico or Canada you would need to get a cdl from there. Where were you born? You also mention that you are sure its possible maybe you are from different place. If not is there any info you could give? Thanks

    My insurance (underwriters) company requires that you have a green card to work for me. The a DACA status individual is NOT allowed to be hired by them because (NOT MAKING A POLITICAL STATEMENT) of the inconsistency of congress to pass the laws to allow it to exist in the first place. The program is unconstitutional through an EO and has been legally sunset with the repeal of that EO and this was put into their policy when it happened and informed those who hire legal resident drivers like me.
