Trucking jobs?

5 years ago

Hi I’m looking at trying to find out where I can get some information on how I can go about being able to move from the US to Ireland and then transfer my driver license for a commercial driver license and then be able to get a job offer to get a work permit and a job to then be able to get a job and be able to move and live in Ireland. My dad just got his Irish citizenship through ancestry by descent from his grandparents and I’d like to be able to move and follow him there to Ireland as I’ve been there before and loved it there and have visited my relatives there before but I need to find the best way to move there. If someone who has already made the move could help me that would be a great help, would it be better for me to move over there, get an apartment and get my license switched over, get a bank account etc all set up and actually be there in person for a few months while I look for a job to make it easier and then once I get the job , then apply for the work visa or is it easier and better to try for it while I’m still here. I read online that a lot of recruitment agencies won’t reply to you unless you’re actually in Ireland so that’s why I was thinking about moving there and getting it all setup and be settled in while I get my license taken care of and look for a job so that I’d have a better chance of actually finding and getting a job. Any ideas or input from those of you who have already been through this and made the move? Thanks in advance for all of your help and input
