    If you can get hired by a U.S. based company you will have to submit an I-9 work eligibility form you can find out more info on the USIS website

    Texas is a good state to move back to; lots of good trucking jobs there plus lower taxes

    Work visa will be the big one, followed by which state will issue a CDL on a visa. Laws have changed since I arrived.

    Research . . .

    Work visa has to have sponsor (employer) apply through labor dept. Then name you as an employee, you go to US consulate and get visa in passport.

    In saying that, I know Asian drivers are getting CDL in California on a visitors permit. I an NOT a fan of this. I did mine legal all the way, and respected the law and process.

    There may be a few European drivers on here that have s little more insight that nay be more current than my knowledge.
