Where and how an immigrant to get a profession in demand in the USA

Finding a sought-after and well-paid job in the United States is the main goal of almost all immigrants entering the country. As practice shows, it is easier to realize this cherished dream than it might seem. The professions, which do not require a lot of time, but which remain one of the most popular in the country, include the work of a truck driver.

By the way, in the USA there has been a shortage of truck drivers (in English - trucks) for quite a long period of time, which will only increase over the years. This is evidenced by analytical dataprovided by the American Truck Association. If in 2005 the market lacked about 20 thousand drivers, then by 2014 this figure had grown to 38 thousand people. Experts say that if the current trend continues, the deficit could reach 2024 by 175.

CEO ASAP CDL Truck Driver Schools Training Arsen Polutskkhoradze spoke in detail about how to become a truck driver in the USA. He explained: in order to obtain a CDL license, that is, a special driver's license for truckers, you need a driver's license that gives the right to drive a car, and permit (passed traffic rules and permission to proceed to practice). The next step is to undergo special training and pass an exam for the appropriate category of rights.

“Training to become a truck driver takes 2-3 weeks on average. Of course, this depends on the individual abilities of the person, the time he devotes to study and knowledge of the English language. Our school, for example, is open every day from 9 to 18 hours, 7 days a week, and each student determines his own schedule. If a student is ready to study every day, it happens that he copes with the program in a week and a half, ”says Arsen.

Truck driver training in the United States includes theory and practice. In the exam, the student must demonstrate knowledge in three areas: the ability to inspect the truck outside and inside, and demonstrate the skills of three types of parking and city driving. All these skills are instructors ASAP CDL Training teach students in parallel throughout the day. Thus, each future trucker can agree with the instructor at what time it will be more convenient for him to come and to which group of students to join.

An important advantage of the school is the unlimited nature of education. This means that students pay a fixed tuition fee and can study for an unlimited amount of time. The instructor determines the degree of readiness of each student for the exam individually. Moreover, the instructors themselves accompany their students to the exam.

The truck school is located in Philadelphia, but future drivers come from different parts of the country: Ohio, Illinois, Florida and even California. Among the students there are people of various nationalities and races.

“I came here from New Jersey and have never regretted it. The school has an unusually friendly, I would even say, family atmosphere. You can come here every day or study a couple of times a week - it depends on your schedule. In any case, the instructors will select the time and classes for you that will suit your level of training, and will personally make sure that you master all the necessary skills, ”American John shares his experience.

The school speaks Russian, Georgian, Turkish and English, but even difficulties in language proficiency do not prevent immigrants from studying and successfully passing exams. Among the students of the school there are both Native Americans and immigrants from the post-Soviet space, as well as from Nepal, Afghanistan and Eastern Europe.

“Of course, at least a minimum level of English is desirable for the passage of studies. But there were cases when immigrants who did not speak English came to us. Nevertheless, we also studied with them, doing everything possible for the drivers to learn the material, ”says Arsen.

According to Arsen Polutskkhoradze, even if a student for some reason cannot pass the exam, he has the opportunity to return to school and continue his studies without any additional payment. The director of the school notes: contrary to stereotypes, women sometimes become truck drivers.

“More often than not, they come to study with their husbands to replace them on long routes. Women are also found among our instructors. Over the past month we have trained 5 girls. Thus, the work of a man as a truck driver is not always accompanied by long separation from his family. On the contrary, it can become a form of family business, ”says the director ASAP CDL Training.

This is exactly how the fate of Natalia from California developed.

“At first I was against my husband choosing the profession of a truck driver - it seemed to me that in this case he would almost always be on the road. When I found out that women are being taught at ASAP CDL Training School, at first I did not believe that this was possible. However, when I came here, I met real professionals, thanks to whom I was able to master all the skills of managing trucks without much difficulty. Now my husband and I are doing a common cause, and this has brought us even closer, ”the girl shares.
