Dual Canadian/US Citizen without US D.L.

Hello there. I have recently come up with enough money to finally be able to afford to go to trucking school on my own dime. I live in Vancouver, BC but am a dual US and Canadian citizen. My fathers side is in the US. My dad actually lives in McAllen, Texas and the rest of the family is in Southern California. I really do not want to drive long-haul in Canada where it can be so isolated that you can't find a truck stop many times. My uncle drives long-haul in the US and I want to join him down there. In fact, I have wanted to drive long-haul down south for most of my life. I talked to Swift and they require students to have a US D.L. for one year before one can attend one of they're schools. I currently only hold a license in Canada and have a lifetime air-brake endorsement attached to it. Does anyone know of any trucking schools down in the US that will let me attend if I have only just recently aquired a US D.L. I am willing to travel and stay wherever the school may be. Any responses would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

Peeeeerrrfect. Thanks bud. Thats the answer I wanted to hear.

 

Thanks Mikee. My father had offered for me to go down to Texas and get my D.L. there and said I could use his address, cool.
