Change of state on license

Normally you just go to the DMV with proof of your new address, and transfer the cdl over.
I've never had a skills test requirement moving to another state.

Commercial Driver Licenses

try calling them too.

 

Yup. Each state is different. Some hand you the new license when you surrender the old. Some states want you to take the written tests. A few states really discourage truckers from moving in because they require both the written AND skills tests. Best bet is to contact the state you're moving to and find out what they require.

 

Almost always no. There are a few nanny states in the Midwest and east that may have you take a vision test or something. Illinois though? Forget it. Need to take entire written exam over again because that state is so #### corrupt people were handing out cdl licenses to friends that had never been in a truck before so he state decided to crack down and punish law abiding drivers.

 

Are you moving to Nevada?

If not, then there is no reason why you need to change your license.

I was going to work down in Texas and they told me that, I told them that my residency is here in Michigan, not Texas and that handed me some bs about being a state law where it isn't. I wasn't going to be a resident of Texas and going to work interstate so the law doesn't apply. This was later confirmed by my lawyer who said the residency dictates the license, not the job.

This is why th cdl is really a uniformed licensing system.
