references and work records

hi,
i am relocating from UK to USA to do my CDL, probably at community college;I am hoping to be hired from there,however i have a big gap in my work record,having being a house wife forever.
Does anyone have any ideas how i can show a prospective employer that I have the know how to be a good worker, funnily enough in the UK ,being a housewife/mother is highly regarded as it incorporates so many life skills relevant in in work place! whether a big carrier will consider kids at school on time and promptly collected with dinner carefully orchestrated and served hot, a good indication of my time keeping and reliability is another matter!
I have six months before i make my move so i want to have everything planned as best i can,so I can hit the ground running,so all ideas will be gratefully considered.

 

Thanks,thats true. I will certainly keep you guys informed,you are helping so much!
