Sorry for a late post guys, this is how we did it. I worked for Finning for 15 years, so the best place to start was with the US CAT dealers. We entered there websites in the States and did some research. Then made contacy via e-mail and started a relationship with them. At one point we had maybe 7 or 8 job offers. Now here is the tricky part. You need a sponser, without a sponser you are wasting your time. I recieved help from a dealer in South Carolina, excellent company, friendly staff. They understood that it takes time and they had the patience. Once the paperwork was complete, I left the UK. You then have to provide pay slips as proof of income to get your family over. We rented a house, and had a lot of help from locals once my family got here. The locals of South Carolina are a very friendly bunch, I would not live anywhere else. The housing is affordable and the climate nice. We have been here for 5 years now and are now US citizens. We have never looked back. To this day, in the forklift industry, if your good, you will never be un employed. Its a world of difference and you have to try it. Dont let your ambitions die, you only live once, make it a good one !
