    Hello all,
    I have been wondering how many of you USA truckers would want to spend a few weeks over here (UK) work experience, low loader work in return for a few weeks with you guys over there?

    I would jump on a deal like that in an instant.
    Pretty sure there is no way to do it legally though, or even illegally
    I have my passport ready to go if you find a way to do it!

    Would be great to see the difference on how we do things differently. No money will change hands, purely just spend time, not driving but experiencing the job. Maybe a wild thought but I feel its worth looking in to. The different trucks, rules and regulations etc.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Here is just one difference
    What you call Low Loader work is what (I think) we call Low Boy on the east coast and Low Bed on the west coast
    We also use the terms RGN and Heavy Haul

    You could Probabaly get to Canada and drive there .
    It appears that a lot of drivers from India are moving to Canada.
    And I think you can cross the border and deliver in the states . But I’m not sure .
