Transferring CDL to Michigan

I don't know either, just wanting to make an opinion. I really wish the CDL was a true federal license!

 

My understanding is only Illinois and California require taking all the cdl tests again. I have heard that all the others will give you a cdl when you surrender your old one.

 

I went from Illinois to Wisconsin license. It was pretty easy and didnt need to take a test. I did do a new medical card. It was about that time anyways.

SOS - How do I convert an out-of-state Commercial Driver License (CDL) to a Michigan CDL?

 

That's the way it works in my state, unless you are transferring HazMat. You show your old license, show some proof of current address, get a vision test IIRC, pose for a pic, pay some money, and you're done.

 

One thing to be mindful of when transfering.
Michigan has an extra money grab called a chauffeur's license. Doesn't matter if one is delivering pizza or driving a semi. As long as one makes money with their license they need the chauffeur's added.

 

yeah tell me about it. It is the most irritating thing.

 

I don't know a thing about you're lisence, but I definitely dig you're screen name and avatar, Deadheads Rule!

 

Arkansas had me sorted in 10 minutes with a new photo.

Come to think on it they don't invest in photos too often. I'll need grey paint to spray on that old license to update it to match my hair.
