Advantages to having CDL issued from a particular state?

NV and WA have no State income tax. If your residence is there it will save you a ton in taxes. Other than that, no real difference that I know of.

 

It doesn't matter where you get your CDL. You still have to transfer it back to your state of residency within 30 days.

The only state I can think of is IL which makes everyone start from scratch when transferring back. That's one state you want to train within the state if you live there.

 

Yes, don't consider doing any schooling or relocating to NYS. This has been one of the hardships I've had to face, for various reasons. What CondoCruiser said as well: you can go to school in whatever state you wish (besides Texas I've heard - you have to be a resident there for at least 30 days, I believe), and get your CDL, but you have to transfer your CDL to the state in which you receive your mail (this is a Federal Law).

Best of luck to you!

 

Correct, along with I believe 5-7 other states, as well. However, I don't believe that has anything to do with getting your CDL. I could be mistaken, but these are good places to start up a business, due to having no income state tax.

Note: just because a state doesn't have income state tax, doesn't mean that the other taxes aren't raised (ie. property tax); the states have to generate revenue from somewhere, unless you live in Alaska where all of that oil helps out a bit!

 

true. I live in TN, which has no state income tax, but sales tax is just under 10%. They'll get it one way or another.

 

See, I was unaware with a lot of Alaska's taxes. I'd like to live there, but I feel like it'd be a good retirement place, for me anyway. They do have the lowest amount of overall taxes, and make all other U.S. tax payers pay more. I know that portion. As for the specifics, I don't know.

From what you just listed, I'd say that is A LOT of stuff to consider. At least your approaching it in a logical manner, rather than out of pure impulse. I do, however, wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors! Just bare in mind the taxes in other states, and Texas' 30 day policy before starting school (I don't know that for certain, I've just heard it through the grape vine). I've done some research on states' taxes, so feel free to send me a PM, and I'll gladly share some of my research with you!

 

Amen! Ain't that the truth!? Ha ha. Generally, or at least from my research, if it isn't the sales tax, it's property tax (ie. Texas). Or, all taxes can just be outrageously high (ie. NY). Anyway, Nevada has got one of the lowest all-around taxes, and they have decent weather, a great night life, and NO sales tax! It must be all of the gambling, that keeps Nevada going!
