In the past, I lived in Louisville, KY. This was before I had a CDL. When I transferred my license, I just had to pay the $20 and take a new picture. It's not so easy in IL. For a non-commercial driving license, you have to take a written test. For CDL, you have to re-take the road test and the writen tests and re-take the tests for the endorsements and ever get re-finger-printed for HazMat. that means you have to stop working for a while to do all this stuff and have an employer who will furnish you a vehicle for the road test. Is that the rule in every state, or just IL being IL? Now, I am thinking about moving back to Louisville, because I love the place so much! If anyone here has the experience, is it much of a hassle to move to KY and transfer a CDL?
Also, is there much in the way of local, daily jobs in the area with a $800-$1200 weekly pay?

Unless things have changed, this must be Illinois. I moved to South Dakota from Texas 10+ years ago, and it was just simple transfer. But that was before all the new federally-compliant rules (gold star on license. ) so hopefully someone else who's done a more recent transfer will speak up.
mje Thanks this. -
It is almost as though the federal government is discouraging people from wanting to move from one state to another.

AAA Cooper has a yard in Duncan. You might end up being a dockworker with a CDL running once or twice a week or you might run every day, it depends on the terminal. But you will gross over $1000 every week, even if you get no miles.
