    It's likely you will make more though. Figure out ho much you are paid when converted to US miles. I'v never been good at the conversion. Also I know europe is taxed much higher

    Now is NOT a good time to be trying to start trucking in the USA. Rates are low, prices a high especially fuel, and freight availability is pretty poor. There are more trucks than there is freight.



    Do you mind me asking why you want to come here?

    Well we won't have democracy much longer if the liberals and Democrats have their way. They are hell bent on turning the USA like any one of the European countries.
    A style of government that has been proven to not work, but yet they want to try again.
    The classical definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
