An Opportunity for Experienced Truck Drivers Around the World

If you're a professional truck driver and have ever dreamed of working and living in the United States, the opportunity might be closer, and more attainable, than you think.

Through the EB-3 employment-based visa program, skilled drivers can secure permanent U.S. residency, a stable career, and a future for their families, all through legal sponsorship by a U.S. employer.

Here’s what you need to know to get started.

Why the U.S. Is Looking for Drivers

The U.S. trucking industry is facing a serious driver shortage. Carriers are in need of reliable, experienced drivers who are ready for long-haul work and want to commit to a full-time role. That’s where you come in.

The EB-3 visa gives foreign drivers the ability to build a new life in the U.S. – not temporarily, but permanently.

What Is the EB-3 Visa?

The EB-3 visa is a U.S. immigration option designed for skilled workers with job offers from American employers. For qualified truck drivers, it provides:

A path to a Green Card (permanent residency)
Sponsorship from a trusted U.S. trucking company
Full-time, permanent employment
The ability to bring your spouse and children under 21

Unlike temporary work permits, the EB-3 visa is designed for long-term settlement and opportunity.

Who Qualifies?

You may be eligible if you:

Have 2+ years of verifiable Over-The-Road (OTR) experience
Are currently employed as a long-haul commercial truck driver
Are comfortable with extended routes and sleeping in your truck when required
Have basic English skills for communication and training
Have no criminal background and can provide a complete 10-year work history
Are ready to relocate permanently to live and work in the United States
