Do you have to retake the CDL test in your State if you go to a company out of state

I'm not sure, would be interested in knowing as well, but I can't imagine it would be anything more than just the questions on the computer.

 

I've drove all 49 states on my oregon lic. This sounds like it might be a state thing, but never heard of it before. As long as you are a resident you should be o.k. Oregon dosn't give a rats ##### where I work as long as maintain a home inside the stae line. I don't know why Ill. would

 

I remember when working in a school as a instructor, certain states required students to retake the writtern portion of the driving test before getting a "home" state licence.
I can't remember which states these were, but there were some.

This from ill website
"Out of state applicants must take all CDL written tests to secure an Illinois CDL"

This meaning if you move from another state with a valid cdl you are required to retake all the writtern exams again. Says nothing about retaking driving portion so probally just the writtern.

 

yeah this sounds like a state issue.. i took my training in Indiana and live in Ohio.. i came back, paid the $6 license fee and they gave me my CDL.. I would imagine each state is different though

 

That is odd, they are supposed to honor them, that is why it is a commercial license. I got mine in NY over 20 years ago, when I moved to Arizona, I just had to get a new photo and pay for the license fee. No new tests or anything.

 

Illinois changed their law last year I believe.

If you live in another state and move to Illinois, you must take the written and driving test.

If you go to another state and get a license and you are an Illinois resident, you must take the tests and the driving part.

 

You live in IL...you must take the CDL test there, and it will be valid in all states.
