Questions
Heavy driver jobs abroad — your questions.
Anything else? Message us on WhatsApp or call the New Delhi office during working hours.
WhatsApp usWill my Indian licence be valid abroad?
Not directly. Gulf countries require you to convert or re-test locally after arrival, and the employer normally arranges it. Your Indian licence must be genuine, in the right class and valid — it is verified.
Can I get a driving job without heavy licence experience?
Light-vehicle and staff-bus vacancies do come up, but heavy and trailer roles will not be offered on a light licence. Get the class upgraded in India first; it changes what we can put you forward for.
How do I apply for a heavy driver job abroad?
Upload your CV on this website — it is free and takes a few minutes. Our team screens it against the demand letters we are working on, and calls you when there is a match. You then attend the interview or trade test, complete the medical, and we file the visa and, for ECR passports going to Gulf countries, the emigration clearance.
What should my CV show for a heavy driver vacancy?
Your trade stated plainly, the years of experience, the specific equipment or systems you worked on, and the names of the employers with dates. Attach your experience certificates and any trade certificate. Vague CVs get skipped — employers shortlist on specifics.
Do you charge candidates a fee?
Registration and CV upload are free. As a licensed Recruiting Agent we may charge a service fee of up to forty-five days’ wages once you are selected, against a receipt. Nobody at Galaxy Enterprises will ask you for cash without a receipt — if that happens, report it to us directly.
