Thank you so much

Yes, go for it.

Get the commercial DL from DMV and you are good to go.

If you're unmarried and are ready to work long hours, you can earn more than you can ever imagine.

Even as a visitor?
Even without a resident permit?

Do you still have a valid Nigerian driver license?

yes
Take your valid Nigerian license to DMV and apply for class C driver license.

When you get the license in a couple of weeks, approach a truck driving school and they will help you with the process of getting the commercial driver's license after your training.

I think you need to successfully complete a 15hr driving training or so.

When you get the commercial license, trucking companies will not hesitate to hire and help you with work permit especially in California but they may underpay you for a while.

Goodluck and don't let anything hold you down.

What if I learn the truck driving here in Naija, is it an added advantage?
