CDL requirements for foreigner

Myself for 6 years before naturalized citizenship. Initially was an H2B visa with a SSN. 2004.

 

May a foreign driver with an employment authorization document obtain a CDL to operate a CMV in the United States? | FMCSA

 

That's interesting - and not as I recall it being in 2004. Thanks.

 

Your observation about random "abcd! logistics" pulling amazon trailers is spot on. I'm noticing the same thing in increasing numbers since I started driving.
In the last year, I've inquired about some of the local amazon jobs listed in the area I run (north Texas to Okla). Nearly every single one leads me some random small shady looking company no one has ever heard of

I heard some Canuck call him Prime Minister Zoolander.

 

Yeah, I think it's the insurance company that requires 1 year of US driver license pre-CDL.

I think the insurance companies for trucking companies , and possibly CDL schools, may require anyone they insure to have had a US driver's license for last 12 months to be eligible for employment or admission to CDL school. It doesn't seem to be a govt requirement for a CDL.

 

If he will post his picture, we'll find a nice 'Daisy May' girl for him.
