so be careful

so what your saying is all them rookies that live in illinois, and come to utah for school. obtain there licenses in utah, have to retake everything they just got done doing to get there official home license from illinois????

I believe it varys from state to state based on agreements between them. States bordering or are close to one another usually have stronger agreements. I'm from TN and currently in school in TX. The school stated that the Fed is cracking down on residency requirements,therefore the current method is in jeopardy. The schools are continuing to lobby for a change to allow them to continue as is. They have gotten a extension until Sept. 1.

Ill. isn't the only state that requires complete retesting. As to the schools, what leg do they really have to stand on? The student-victim lives in a scary hotel for 2 or 3 weeks and either drives off in a truck or goes home with tail between legs. That's not residency.

Unless thing have chaged sence i got my CDL, When i transfered mine from MA. to NV. I had to do the general knowledge test, and that was it, but this was many years ago, but I do believe if you get your CDL or any licence for that matter, in one state and then move to another, You must transfer, but it shouldnt matter where you get your training, most school give you the basics of driving a CMV, it's up to you to practice what you've learned and how well you proform your duties in driving a CMV, Trainers can only tell you and show you how to do these things, it's up to you to retain this knowledge and practice how to prefect them

Thats some good info. So if you were in my shoes, would you play it safe and go to school where I'm going to move to? Or would you go to the better school in NY?
