Profile For Brazilian

Hey Joseph, thx for the feedback!

I didnt know about this one year restriction to get a CDL. If thats the case It will be a bummer. Maybe theres some other way around It, since i have a Brazilian drivers license for over 15 years. If not, ill Just have to find some other job to do while waiting for this period, unfortunately.

I got what you said about the "on and off" situation i was wondering about. Maybe its best for me to work for some years and then take a time off to get to know the world. Then with a clean record and experience driving, finding another job would be all that hard, i hope lol.

Hey guys, im not a trucker yet, but im planning on becoming one next year, If everything goes well.

Let me tell you a little bit about me. Im a Brazilian, living in Brazil right now. Im 33 yo and I have a steady jod being a police detective. Life is fine, nothing serious to complain about.

Things changed when I got my Green card (through a brother of mine who is an american citizen), and my desire to leave my job and go trucking in america has grown everyday!!! Ive been spending all my quarantine time reading and watching videos about trucking (btw this forum is the best).

So Ive been reading Brett's book: "Becoming a truck driver", available here, and he talks about getting months off work with his company without any hassle, It made me wonder if that would still be the case. I mean, It would be great for me to work non stop OTR (so i dont get to have a house to maintain) for some 8 months and be free for another 4.

I dont know if im daydreaming or If its really an option. If thats possible, being single and with no kids, i would like to travel the world on this brakes with the money i was able to save while OTRing. I could live quite well for this period in many countries if i managed to save some 20k.

I was really hoping to get some feedback from you experienced drivers. Does anyone do something similar?

Thanks and sorry for any english mistakes.
