Who Qualifies for an H-2B Visa for Truck Driving


To qualify for an H-2B visa as a truck driver, you must be at least 18 years old. While commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) issued in Mexico and Canada are valid in the United States, other drivers will need to pass a test and receive their U.S. CDL before beginning work. Your employer is responsible for ensuring that you are trained and licensed.

H-2B visas are only available to citizens of about 80 countries as approved by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The approved countries list, which was last updated on Jan. 19, 2021, includes Mexico, Canada, and nations from all regions of the world.



An individual can remain in the H-2B status for up to three years. Once you have held H-2B status for three years, you must leave and remain outside the United States for three months before seeking readmission as an H-2B nonimmigrant.

Lots of trucker companies happily employ new people. Make sure you prepare well for the interview and don't forget a follow up email and say thanks the interviewer for the time etc etc https://www.skillcourses.com/follow-...bal-job-offer/ . We don't do it much in my country, but found out it is important to do it here. That brings your chances a little up and show the future employer that you are a nice and polite person.

Hi there, mate. Yeah, many truck drivers I work with have come from Europe. Most of them applied for an H-2B Visa. As far as I know, it’s the best visa for foreign truckers, so you should start by applying for it. While waiting for a visa, you can apply for one of these jobs here https://newjobs4you.com/job-board/all-options/. Actually, experienced truckers are always of high value in the US. I make about 8k a month by shipping cars. Soon I’m going to start my own trucking company. So, if you want to join my team, welcome.
