    I have a valid Indiana CDL-B with school bus, public transport, air brakes, tanker, motorcycle and hazmat endorsements. I also have a valid CDL-A learner's permit.

    Roehl will require me to get a Wisconsin driver's license when I graduate from their school. I will then need to get my Indiana license back.

    Is there anyone out there who has been through this process?

    Will I need to take all nine written tests and the three skills tests again?

    This is a deal-breaker for attending an out-of-state school!

    Thank you for your help.

    This board has been a Godsend to me over the last two years as I try to get my foot in the trucking door.

    Thank you Mic. Did you actually do this in Indiana?

    I hate to press the point, but I do not want to take a chance on losing my Indiana DL.

    It's all good. I did it in '08. The only problem I had was getting flagged by Homeland security for getting a WI license on Friday then getting an IN license on Tuesday. They cleared it up and it was all good. Did take N extra 30 minutes or so though.

    Oh this is dumb but you will have to take the basic driving written test again since it's like you are a new resident, but not the CDL portions. lol, makes a lot of sense I know.

    You should have no problem. Also there is no "air brake" certificate. That is just part of the regular test.
