He speaks English with an obvious accent. People often think he is hispanic. He has family still in the home country. How he got a class A CDL so fast I have no idea. After his truck was unloaded, 3-4 of us had a quick conversation with him. I wish everyone could hear this guy. There was a change for the much better in his country after President Obama and Hillary took over foreign relations. For all the mud being thrown at white house, this guy made me so PROUD!

3. I don't remember the company name, I should have paid more attention

It wasn't his own rig. I'm thinking 35ish.

4. your OP reminded me

We had a trucker pick up something from us recently who was an obvious recent-immigrant. Didn't find out where from, but he could easily been Bosnian. He looked like what you might expect a trucker to look like in a James Bond movie, set somewhere in Eastern Europe. Definitely not what you would expect here in Texas. Didn't get his story, but he seemed pretty new to the game.
