    What do you mean?
    CDL A means you have right to drive big truck, over 12 tons combined weight, equipped with air brakes (air brake endorsement) and combination, semitrailer.

    I am sure there are Visa's to allow you to work here, but it could take you a long time to find work here. I know people who havent been able to find work for 6 months or more. If there are people unemployed in the trucking industry (or any industry you want to work in) you most likely wont get a Visa for that particular role.

    Ah ok
    You mentioned CDL and CDL A. I thought there might have been different classes of CDL.

    The Bulgarians, and not only, got their CDL A years ago, they came on visitor or student visa years ago, and got their papers, like SSN (social security number), driver licence, CDL A.
    But last year the game changed, and is very hard to drive truck with CDL A and no green card or US passport.
     
    V8Wookiee Thanks this.
