    Good Day Everyone! :msmile:I have been searching the forum for an answer to a question, I have found similar questions but no clear answers. Does anyone know what's involved in changing a U.S. CDL to a Canadian A-Z. Are they equal? Straight exchange or does he have to do written/practical testing over again? Is there a cost?? I have been lurking here on and off, I find a lot of your issues and concerns similar to my husbands' and many of you share the same views on many issues as he does. I get more than a few laughs here too. I won't be around too much ( not much time for the PC ), but I'll be around now n then. Thanks for any help you can offer and Be Safe!

    AWESOME! Thanks for the quick reply tiny, I can't believe I didn't find this....so you think this applies to Commercial License as well? Looks like it does.
