    As of October 30, 2022 if you have a clp from another state, can you attend CDL school somewhere else? I have my clp from Georgia but I live in Texas now. Can I attend school here?

    Wait, what?
    The state can tell the DOT to go pound sand up their ###?
    I guess thats how the Alaska exceptions came about then...

    Interesting. Learned something.

    Even if they wont take it, taking the permit test is nothing. And at least here in MN it doesnt cost anything either.

    I looked into this too because I had a CLP from a different state. Technically you can, but like everyone points out, the new state may fight you on it. The schools may fight you on it. The school I went to fought me on it so the next day I just went to the DMV and switched it over.

    Hoping someone has some knowledge on this subject.
    I'm going to be training my cousin who just passed his written exam for his CLP in California and I'm wondering if I have to stay in that miserable state to train him. I'd much prefer to run elsewhere for his training but I'm under the impression that he can only drive within his home state while a CLP holder? Does anyone have any experience with this? The OP was referring to a CDL school but I'm certainly no a school teacher!!!

    Thanks for the info. What a coincidence that you're talking about Ventura, CA too. I was thinking about doing cdl school in that area with my TN license.
