I'm a newbie to the site, so please forgive me if I did not post in the right spot. I have 15 years driving in my county & surrounding counties hauling feed, but I must complete schooling now to obtain my Ohio CDL. Once obtaining my CDL & sometime the beginning months of 2015, we will be moving to TX. Does anyone the law in Texas? Do I have to retake the test or do I just transfer them?

Good Luck. Your going to need it. The oil field is a tough place.
68bulldog Thanks this. -
and if you are thinking about buying a house, just be aware that TX has pretty high property taxes.
You maybe surprised how high they are.
good luck.68bulldog Thanks this. -
well you will not be driving in snow, expect to put in the max hours allowed for days and weeks on end,,,if you want a 9 to 5 job then expect to make low wages,,,if you are willing to work what ever hours they want for weeks at a time you will make double or more that a steering wheel holder makes,,You get of of life what you put in to it,, Work till you drop and the rewards will be good ,,work like a sissy and you will not make it,,
68bulldog Thanks this. -
you should be able to find a job in Ohio...doing the same thing. (im just saying)
68bulldog Thanks this. -
Only test you would have to retake would be hazmat if you were to get that endorsement. If you want hazmat, just wait till you get to Texas
68bulldog Thanks this. -
They will transfer without retesting, however hazmat doesn't transfer and will require a test and background check.
Also be aware that you will need to register your personal vehicle in Texas before they will let you switch your license over. Hope that helps.

There's plenty to do in Ohio. Why move all the way to TX?
68bulldog Thanks this. -
Now as to being able to find lodging in the oil patch. Supply vs demand has always caused an increase in prices, so you have to figure that in. But the lower oil prices will start to weed out the unprofitable fields which means fewer driving jobs available.68bulldog Thanks this.
