Hello all , relocating to WA next year, I have my CDL in Arizona currently , and I was just wondering if anyone knew if I had to retest, or just pay fees? if so, just the written test , or the actual driving skills portion as well?
Also, if I do need to take the driving portion again , how would i go about getting a vehicle to use for the test? any suggestions , comments , or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time!

Most states just require the eye test and renew the hazmat indorsement.

Just to be clear, it seems like WA requires you to retake all of your endorsement tests to have the same endorsements in WA. At the links posted by @softail it seems you will pay about $100 or more for all the fees and endorsement tests.
