Can I attend a truck course out of state and then use the certification I get at the end to get a full license in my home state?
Truck course in a community college outside my home state?

The 160 hr training certificate? The problem is you need to provide the truck to test in if you do it that way. Ryder or Penske won’t rent you one with a permit. Much easier to use the school’s truck to get your license in the state where you train then get it reissued in the state where you live. PITA if you live in CA or IL, not too bad anywhere else.

Most states will recognize your cdl certificate and permit or out-of- state cdl and simply give you the cdl from your home state.
Trucking companies that have their own cdl schools do this every day. The student goes back to their home state, to the DMV and show the paperwork and get a cdl.

When I moved to Nevada, the DMV just gave me a new eye test and took a new photo, then gave me my new cdl.

As @Lunatic Fringe posted, CA & IL aren't normal, resident friendly states and make life miserable for any cdl holder. They both love to flunk drivers that move there from other states.Last edited: Jan 21, 2021

I plan to get the permit in my home state.
I will do a truck course in another state. It's a course offered in a community college.
I will take the skills test at the end of the course. The instructors are the ones who do the testing at the end of the course. The testing is part of the course if that makes sense.
I will return to my home state after all is said and done.
Once I go to the DMV and submit all the required documents I will have a CDL for my home state right?Chinatown Thanks this. -
That's the way it works, unless you live in CA or IL
