It would appear every state is different then. Illinois won't even let you transfer your license without retaking all the written and drive tests,...
There might be some exceptions for people using their GI Bill, but as far as I understand it you have to go to a school that does business in the...
Took this yesterday after a long day hauling herbicide and various other stuff to sprayers on the Illinois side of the river near St Louis.[ATTACH]
I would imagine it would certainly not hurt to show up "ready to roll" so to speak. If anything it would show initiative which is always a good...
Sorry for the delay... Since I paid out of pocket, it was only $3895 and they let me do it in a few payments since I started earlier than...
You would probably be ok. Since DOT physicals are not that expensive, I would just schedule one and get it over with. Or better yet, go ask the...

I'll admit that I don't know much as I only have my permit and start school this weekend, but one thing I have learned so far with all my research...
The apprenticeship program for trucking is a great resource for vets out there. My GI Bill benefits are already being used up for a degree though...
