New job asking me to get an in state CDL, do I have to?

Your CDL must match your legal residence. If you are living in AZ, she is correct.

 

Most every state requires you to move your CDL within 30 days of beginning to live in the state. You can certainly do an internet search to verify if Arizona has such a 30 day requirement.

 

So, do you now live in AZ?

 

OP, your not really giving us enough information. Here is the deal. Did you take this job as a legal resident of Arizona or Florida? If you are still a legal resident of Florida you CAN"T legally transfer the CDL. I know of a guy that recently went through this. Was told he could stay a resident of Virginia and work for that carrier. Flew out for orientation and was actually assigned a truck. Then later was called and told he had to move out of Virginia to a state in their traffic lanes. I hope this is not what has happened to you! If so you are going to have to move or quit that job. If you have already moved to Arizona you do have to transfer the CDL. This process is generally easy, just make sure you have all the proof of residency required!

 

Also very funny how the state consisted
You a resident if you live there for 30 days ,


Unless you’re attending college and want the in state tuition rate . Then you have to live there 366 days to be considered a resident .

 

If you rent a place in AZ and move there, you for sure need an AZ CDL
I work three months a year in California and even I probably need to get a california CDL by the book
