Advantages to having CDL issued from a particular state?

or they will get it both ways. I moved from Colorado to TN. Colorado has a 6% State Income tax and we also had sales tax of 9.2% We gave ourselves a 6% raise moving to TN.

 

4800? Try living here in The Peoples Republic of Ct. I'd sign on to pay 4800 in a second.

 

I live in NY, House worth 200K, property tax is3200, sales tax is 8.5% and income tax is around 9%, fuel tax is 38cents a gallon, as soon as the wife retires we are GONE!

 

You're preachin' to the choir, man.

 

I took my class C when I was growing up in Kenai. Took it again when I came to CA. CA's test was harder. I took my CDL in AZ and retested in CA. CA was still harder.

 

Back to the original question.

There are differences from state to state when it comes to getting your CDL.

For example... in Idaho all you have to do is show up at the DMV and take the tests. If you pass, you get a CDL.

Washington, on the other hand, requires 160 hours of training before you can take the driving skills test.

Idaho... if you fail any part of your driving skills test, you have to take all three sections over again.

Washington... you just have to take the section you failed over again.


Just a couple of examples.

I can't imagine setting up residency in a different state just to get a CDL, though. How difficult could it possibly be to get a CDL in any state in the union?

 

Washington would be good due to no personal income taxes, plus plenty of good trucking jobs there. The Trans-system companies recruit from DTS in Washington. Trans-system website shows where the terminals are and their association with DTS.

 

Yep, we retired and we're gone!
