    I'm currently a resident of SC with a plain jane drivers license to drive cars trucks (the 4 wheel kind) and a motorcycle.

    In a couple of weeks I'll be taking a class to get my CDL.

    I want to move back to NY to help take care of my aging Mom and Dad.

    Once I get my CDL from SC, how hard will it be to convert it to NY? Will I have to take a road test again or what?

    Need to Know

    Should not need a road test again. Simple matter of taking your self into the DMV, filling out the little form and getting the new license. I have done this twice, once when I moved to Florida and once when I moved back to Wisconsin. The only test I had to take when I moved to Florida was the written hazmat. Didn't do that when I moved back to WI because I dropped the hazmat endorsement. Didn't feel like paying the extra for the background check since I wasn't planning on hauling hazmat anyway.

    Not a problem man! It's really pretty painless . . . depending on how long you end up sitting at the DMV office waiting to do this!:biggrin_25525:

    Just don't get your HAZMAT endorsement in SC....you'll have to pay to get it all over again in NY.

    Good call there BioDiesel! When I switched to Florida, it was pre-2001.

    I would think pretty much if you can run people off the road, flip them off and cuss at them it won't be any problem at all...:biggrin_25523:

    To Funny.

    I think that is the NYC area. Most rural New Yorkers are friendly.
