Can a US citizen immigrate to Mexico and be a trucker?

Hello I've been door dashing for 4 years, and just landed a job as an amazon van delivery driver. I've been a helper for DOT amazon delivery drivers for a couple weeks and will start driving a van this week finally. I plan to work my way up to becoming a DOT driver where I'll be driving a big DOT box truck with air brakes.

But I learned of an opportunity from amazon semi-truck drivers where I can go to a trucking school and earn a CDL and get training to become a driver that operates those bigger 18 wheeler semi trucks. ...But I'm preparing to immigrate to Mexico from the USA in a year or two and I don't want to put in the work to learn a whole new trade if I can't use that trade in Mexico.

Currently, my plan to support myself financially when I go to Mexico, is to earn an online certificate for TESL (teaching english as a second language). After that I will develop an online, remote career so that I'm making 1,000-1,200 USD/month (minimum) and THEN immigrate to Mexico because that's all the money I really need to support myself down there.

But I'm also considering going to a trucking school, so I can have a second skill set to take with me. But I have no idea what laws are like for working for a Mexican company as an immigrant from the USA. I don't even know how to search for info about it so I'm making this post here. Just trying to find out if getting into trucking school is a bad idea or a good one, considering what I'm wanting to do with my life. I've been studying spanish since January and after I get a TESL career going, finishing the task of learning spanish will be the final thing to keep me from making the big move.

Thanks for any info yall can provide on this.

 

I lived in Jalisco for nearly a year in Zapopan which is next to Guadalajara. But never actually been on any road trips in Mexico.

 

It's probably a bad idea but don't want to pass up an opportunity to learn a new trade without doing some level of research so that it is an informed decision. I really don't know what to believe about the cartel thing. But from what I can tell every country in the world has an organized crime problem. For example the USA has the biggest sex trafficking industry in the world, and has mafias that represent so many different countries, and that doesn't even include local organized crime and all the gazillion gangs the USA has.
