Hi, first post, so hi to every one I'm 50 years old and I want to make a career change, trucking is what seems ti be the right choice for me, but (there is always a but) I do have a couple of drawbacks and I'm looking for some guidance or help to find the right path, I have no experience on trucking, I know I'll have to go through truck driving school, getting my CDL and then probably some training on the job, so far so good But, I live in México and I only have a Mexican drivers license I do not have a usa residency I have dual nationality, Mexican and Spanish (if that helps anything)
Is there a way to become a truck driver and get a job for me?
Thanks in advance !

If you come stateside and get your regular Driver's license, keep it CLEAN, and go from there!
