How do Illinois Residents transfer the CDL's?

You answered your own question. You take the written and the driving test in IL and they give you a IL CDL.

If you go thru Prime's school, you can only get a MO CDL, then you go with your trainer to IL and take the test all over again, using your trainer's truck.

Or get your CDL thru another school in IL and then get hired by Prime.

 

Move to another state lol Yall have some strange laws up there.

 

I wish I could get out of this state to darn much BS.

Anyways I am into my 3rd week at a Community College program, $3800.00 In class one week then we have been in the truck everyday since either on the road or in the yard.

I choose the school for 2 reasons, If you train with a company they own you ! (Don't need that) 2nd was that stupid new Law where they will not except an out of state transfer, .

If I move out of Illinois and transfer my license to another state and then decide to come back again to Illinois they would still not issue a cdl to me until I pass the test AGAIN,

I know that there is one company in Chicago-land that will rent you a truck , if you decide to train out of state . What did Prime say?

 

Just pay someone for your CDL, didn't IL give out a bunch of CDLs to people that way.......

 

Sure they did... I hear they now work for CRST n Swift

 

Are you dense or Do you think there is some secret way around the way I described it.

Im sorry, Im not giving you an name or email address... but trust me, I know someone from IL.... and an employee of Prime that went thru the CDL school.

that is how it was done!

Looking for an alternate route: Show up without a truck, that's one way you can do it different... pretty sure they wont let you take the driving test without a truck.

Im sorry, maybe you didnt mean to post this in the PRIME section... If you are planning to come to Prime's CDL school, you will do it just as I described... If you dont want to go to school at PRIME, you are stuck getting your training somewhere else, and preferably IN Illinois so you dont have the hassle

 

I don't remember if the guy had to take the written again... For sure the driving. However it is possible he came to Prime with a Permit from IL, and even though he had a MO CDL, maybe they waived the written as he had to have taken it to get the IL permit.

You might ask about that at the DMV... If it works out, Showing up at Prime with a CDL permit makes your first couple days a whole lot easier.
