I'll take it easy
Well, seems like the Americans don't care about safety as much as the Europeans do ^^
I mean the American trucks are way bigger than the European trucks. And our trucks are very easy to drive. I've worked with Mercedes and MAN trucks most of the time and many of them have automatic transmission or simple 8-gear manual so you drive it just like a big car.
I made my truck license within 3 weeks too. The difference is just, I can use it only private or for civil service. But if you wanna drive for another company you need a special apprenticeship. Doesn't really make sense, but that's Europe...Dinomite Thanks this. -

Well, the EU says you can pass a training course which takes a few months (don't know exactly). That may be enough so you don't HAVE to make a 3 year apprenticeship. But most of the German companies don't like that because you don't get as much practical training as in a 3 year apprenticeship. And they don't want you to smash their trucks, so it's always better to pass the 3 years

Well, actually I just won it in the Lottery. I don't have it yet
First I have to fly to the US for an interview, make some fingerprints and much other stuff. So I'm still in Germany right now and I have to consider if I should take the chance or stay here. I think you have like 5 years to go to the US. So I may have some time when I get the GC.
