    I run local, so I remembered at one renewal, I had put Intrastate, the agent asked me at the window if I was sure about it, I asked why, she told me the consequences IF I was to go out of state that my CDL wouldn’t be valid. So I changed it to INTERSTATE. Luckily she had a family member that has a CDL, and she knew. That’s why she mentioned it to me. Most agents will not tell you at the office.

    Of course, the problem is that a lot of people either don't know the difference, or can't hear the difference between the two. Every state should give you 2 choices; "Interstate" and "[Home State] Only".

    A-hole knew it was a mistake and couldn't let it slide? What a prick.

    I know a guy that took the test for a cdl-b and the chick typed an A on the license paperwork. BONUS.
