hi I have a question about what do you do in regards to your CDL if you move to another state. I was thinking of moving to California from NC next year. I was wondering if I would just fill out paperwork with the CA DMV and just simply have my CDL transfered or is it more complicated than that. Would I have to retest on the road and writen exam in CA? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

My only experience with changing the issuing state since getting my CDL was right after school. I went to a CDL school in Missouri, but lived in Illinois. When I finally transfered them from MO to IL, all I had to do was retake the written tests, including those for any and all endorsements. I'm not sure if this is a standard course of action with all states or not. I'd check CA's motor vehicle department's website for more info.

I just recently changed mine from FL to NC .... the only thing that I had to do was show a current DOT physical card and take the hazmat test .... other than that they just wanted their #### $200 for 8 years

You can also do a search and find the website for the CA DMV .... and look on their as to what their requirements are for transferring to CA

I just love the Comunistic State of California.
They love their stuff, but hate our trucks.
Ok, you will have to retake your Written GK test, I am not sure how much that's going to cost.
No you will not need to take another road test.
You will have to pay $94 total though.
Your best bet... Keep an address in your current state for your CDL.
Here in ID, I have to take the GK written $3
And for the license, it's a fee of $28.50 for four years.
Total $31.50
Aside from that you could call the CA DMV, or DLB to be on the safe side.

I waited before I changed mine over though, because I didn't know how long I was going to live in CO. I transferred them back to Kentucky the day I came back home
