Hello !
I'm a 35 years old Norwegian trucker, thinking about moving to USA.
I have been a truck driver for 15 years, driving all over Europe with both frigo and tankequipment (both semi and drawbartrailer) up to 52 tons totalweight. I have mostly been driving Scania, but also Volvo and Mercedes Benz, with Fish from Norway to Europe(mostly Italy, Portugal and France) with fruits and vegetables back to Norway. In the last years I mostly have been driving tankers in various forms (gasoline, diesel,
Jet A-1, and Bitumen for Shell in Norway) and all kinds of chemicals (Alkyd, White Spirit, Polyester and a lot of different acids) mostly in Scandinavia (yes, I have a lot of experience of driving in the snow). My question is: Is my Norwegian driverslicense and ADR license(haz-mat for both tank and dry goods) worth anything if I try to move to USA, or must I start at scratch. I have never had any trouble with the police, so my hopes is that i can get a green card without problems.
I am very thankful for all information I can get.
Roger
