I know nothing, but need it all.

You'll need an address in the states and change your drivers license to that stateside address.
After doing that, you can get into trucking easy.
Do you have friends or relatives in the states that will let you use their address?

 

Pretty sure CFI might be a good contact for what he is looking for.

 

You will have a life time sleeping in a tent sized tractor to get it all in learning as you go here in America.

Wait until you meet a land hurricane here in the states called a Derec'ho. It's usually a line of storms about 200 miles wide in a bow and 60 miles thick running 700 miles overnight with 100+ straight line winds under everything.

Don't worry, you will get your learning and living here in the states. But remember that trucking goes through a awful lot of people really fast.

Just one very important thing. You cannot have a speck of drugs in your system going back at least a year. This industry is no tolerance for anything these days. A dental appointment to fix or pull a tooth will tell you exactly from the doctor how long to wait until the ow and last pain pill is finished before you are allowed to touch a 18 wheeler again. Build your savings as you go.

Feast and famine. One week you sleep rather than spend money having fun because you run too hard and made a pile of it. Hold on it it because next week it might take you 5 days to deliver 200 miles.

 

Gabriel I would not recommend trucking, one reason why is it isn't what people think it is. You just can't get a license and if you do, it doesn't mean you can drive a truck and if you have an accident that is your fault, then you may have wasted your time.

 

Craigslist. Indeed. Cdljobsnow. Hell do a simple Google truck companies who offer free training.

 

Plenty of opportunities here, Gabriel.

There are LOTS of companies that will do just as you have mentioned.

First.. get to the mainland.
Then set up a residency with an address (with an acquaintance or relative is fine)

You'll need a good driving record, and a not so bad criminal record. (Mass murderers and serial rapists are frowned upon.. I'm sure you're fine)

Be ready to not make a ton of money in your first few years. It takes a while to hone your skills and become a real professional that demands the BEST jobs.

It's a nomadic lifestyle. Different port every single day/night.
You may have to sleep in places without amenities most are accustomed to.. at least most spoiled Americans.

Finally, be prepared to wash out.
A lot of folks try it and just don't have the aptitude to maneuver or handle the rigors of the large vehicle and the long daily grind.

The mainland U.S. is a HUGE place.
Things change.. people change.. attitudes change.. weather changes.

But, if YOU are open to it and respectful and willing to learn...
You'll see that you can make it here and be very successful.

When you have a question, find an old timer and politely ask for help.
You'll get it.

 

Frowned on, but not a deal breaker.
