Working in the U.S.

Truck Driving

The process of obtaining work in the truck driving industry in America is initially a private one. A US trucking company must first agree to hire you and sponsor your immigration. Once a company agrees to hire you, then that company needs to petition the US Citizenship and Immigration Service. Once that petition is approved by the USCIS only then would you be eligible to apply for a Visa to permit entry into the United States.  Please see: Applying for a Visa

To establish just what jobs are available or with whom, contact the trucking firms directly.
