teaming up with friend

Now THAT'S a good idea.

 

You can only get a CDL issued by the state in which you reside. Proof of residence will be required at the DMV before you can take the test.

 

Well prepare to lose a best friend, then.

 

My best friend and I teamed up once but it wasn't driving a truck. That poor girl.....

 

Maybe ya should drive for 6 months to a year before the team situation happens..

I know, I know, teams make $200k/ yearly.....
Learn the ropes first, then team.

 

Oh, snap! Was the truck at least involved......some how?

 

Both SADLY and UNFORTUNATELY, best friends quite often do NOT make good business partners.

Good luck to the both of you! May God be with the both of you!

 

Use your buddies address for taking the test then transfer your license once you pass the test. That is the a lot of schools do it.

I would seriously reconsider driving with a friend though. I know way to many lost friendships from team driving.

 

Ask him if you can use his address and then you both have TN license. You can probably get some receipts at Office Depot and write some rental receipts like you rent a room in his house. Tell the DMV you moved to TN recently and need to change your drivers license. Might need one month or two months rent receipt. I'm not sure how long TN gives to change the license over.

Many companies will hire you to run teams together; that part is no problem.

Schneider Bulk - good one

Another option is to call the companies you're interested in and ask, if you live in Louisville with a KY license will they let you team with your friend in Nashville. For example, Louisville is in the hiring zone for Watkins-Shepard in Berea, but Nashville may not be for your friend. Schneider Bulk just hired a new CDL grad from Chattanooga for their Nashville facility, but Louisville resident, maybe not. You need to make some phone calls.
