    i need clear my head wondering somethings about becoming a truck driver in usa.
    is to hard take driver licence for heavy trucks ?
    is to hard to find a job in some tranport companyies
    and after them i need save some money and i will buy a truck and become a owner operator that is my plan.

    I am a green card holder too only. From Bosnia, and I got my license just like everyone else nothing different. And I see you can read and write in English somewhat. I've come across a lot of guys who speak with their fingers and point because they spoke no English. So in other words you shouldn't have any issues as long as you have a decent driving record.

    I understand my dad is the same way as you. The point is as you can tell we know what you're asking and what you're trying to say. You don't need a college degree to drive a truck. Goodluck
