Hello Everybody. I Have A Question About CLP.

If I am the smartest guy in the room, I am probably in the wrong room. 🤔

Yes......that is what I meant to say!

Thanks everybody. I understand.

I passed general knowledge, combination and air brakes.

I have experience to drive truck from other country.

To get CLP in state of Missouri i have to be employed and brig dmv letter from employer, like "he is employed", either way I can't go to DOR.

I alredy have company where i can work but they located in IL. That company works all of America. DMV wants only MO company.

So my problem now to find company who will hire me with no CDL A license and then wait when i pass DOR testing.

Hmmmm - this gives a little more info...

Experience driving truck in another country?

Have you held a REGULAR US DRIVERS LICENSE for at least ONE YEAR? Usually this is a REQUIREMENT for a CDL license (and most companies require it).

Hate to ask - but - are you IN THIS COUNTRY LEGALLY - and do you have a VISA THAT INCLUDES THE RIGHT TO WORK? Some states are REAL PICKY ABOUT THIS (Florida IS - Kalifornia, probably NOT - MO, hmmmm?).

You may have to start out AS A STUDENT - even with experience - and if you don't have the REQUIRED TIME LICENSED with a regular license in the US - you might have issues getting a CDL.

The other thing you might consider (all other things being equal) is to establish a residence in the state where you claim to have a job (IL) and get a license and CLP there, then test for your CDL-A.

Again.

1 - In order to WORK (legally) in the US - you have to have the proper Visa and Right To Work. Where are you from, are your papers in order?

2 - Unless you are from, say Canada - most of the time, a foreign drivers license is not going to be acceptable as proof of previous "regular drivers license" (non-commercial operators license), even if it was a Truck Drivers License. You can transfer a CDL from US State to US State - but not a foreign country to US State.

If you meet the prerequisites of licensing, residency, etc. - you could (in theory) apply to any of the companies we discuss here, that provide training and employment.

You are going to have to provide VERIFIABLE WORK HISTORY FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS.

One of my best friends plays guitar in a number of bar bands down here - I sit in on a regular basis.

He says - "yeah, I tell all my friends Rick's the smartest guy I know".

My response - "but all your friends are MUSICIANS so that ain't saying a whole lot".
