I have recently passed my uk hgv1 and I would like to drive a truck in america. I know the uk hgv1 is considered worldwide the hardest test to pass. some companies I have read would sponsor you for the visa you need to work over there. if anyone can tell me what else I might need to know or do before I go. or if indeed someone out there would like to employ a uk trucker. dan
serious posts please people, I'm only trying to do something a bit different

Like gay sex in showers with strangers in truck stops?
Take your half of the road out of the middle?
Like both kinds of music(country AND western)?
Ever beat a hitch hiker with a tire iron?
High school drop out?
If you answered yes to 4 of these, you're in.

How many illegal imigrants does it take to fill a semi trailer?
This isn't a joke, I asking a trucker question that's on the state-side exam.
dare I ask, how many?
Originally posted by 00wooksHi, just curious about one thing in trucking in the UK. In the states, you can have, at least in some places, you can have three trailers hooked up and in Australia I think you can have a friggin train with like 7 or so, monster truck indeed! So how many can you have in the UK? I don't have a CDL license myself, only drive a 4 wheeler but I do a lot of interstated driving. Do you use CB's there and are they on the same frequencies as they are here? In the US, channel 19 is the common truckers frequency, actually 27.185 mhz to be exact. Do you use the same thing there? Like Cobra radios which here legally can only go up to about 5 watts. I use a 'connex 4800' which has other bands on it also, as I am a ham, my call is AI3N so the connex allows me to talk on 10 meters as well as 11. I think it goes to 12 meters also. Do you use that kind of stuff there?
thank you, I'll pm him..
