Everyones views on foreign drivers

I have a very good friend over here in the states who is Australian

I am sorry my friend you Australians may speak the Queens English as my friend Peter says. , but #### you are hard to understand.

But he more than makes up for it with a good Crack..the 2 of us is nothing but gut bustin laughter.

Come on over Mate. Move to Florida. You will feel right at home with the heat.

Tell these guys what a pint of beer or a good mixed drink costs in a bar over there.

 

You could probably go to work at a large trucking company that provides training to get your cdl also.

I think with the current claim that there is a shortage of drivers here which is BS but any ways the company might be able to help you get a work visa on that note.

 

This is close to impossible.

 

As you can tell by the name i'm an Aussie mate i have in the past been able to get a H2b visa and actually drive tractor trailers in the USA. That is a complicated process in itself but i won't get into visa issues right now unless you want to ask. The demand for truck drivers is really high especially for OTR most drivers want to drive through the day and be home with the family for the night so alot will not drive interstate for this reason. So demand is great, however due to the GFC in 2008 alot of unemployment grew and people who where working in fancy air conditioned offices now were attempting to drive trucks. So i can see why some may resent foreigners driving although lots have actually come over as legal immigrants its no different to Australia Mate during the mining boom i did not think it was fair that Big companies would hire Foreign workers while over looking local ones I like the visa system in the US because they won't just give out visas willy nilly for a company to hire workers from overseas they must first petition the dept of labour and prove that not enough local workers will accept the work this involves a lengthy advertising campaign to prove they can not get enough workers then the dept of labour will pass on the petition to DHS who approve any visa's. While driving i used to get asked quite alot about why i was driving in the USA and i used to say it was not about the $ cause i was actually making more dough in Australia it was all about the experience. I got to travel around the whole country for free and got to see alot of great sites, and meet lots of incredible people.

 

1.38Australian to buy a. US dollar right now mate. That makes for a big change.

I will sell you my exwife , she has a weakness for that accent you fellas have over there.

 

You get free health insurance with those $38 cigarets ?
