Hey guys, i currently have a valid SC CDL-A permit, and i want to take my class B test in GA. (Long story short, our trucks here in SC wont pass the inspection.) I have a dump truck company in georgia wanting to hire me to drive for them. I was just wondering can i take my test in Georgia with a SC permit? I need this license for my family to do well. I've been a yard jockey for 2 years so i know how to back, and have used yard dog, day cabs and sleepers for trailer moves. I'm just wanting to get my B because their B trucks will pass.
I'd call Georgia DMV about it, but I think you can. I took a permit from one state to a school in another state and tested there as well, they gave me a sealed package to take to my home state DMV, who opened it, did some stuff, and gave me a CDL.
If their DMV won't or can't do it, perhaps a driving school with authorised testers can. Some of those will also rent you a truck for the test. That option might be available closer to home in your own state.
Hey guys. I wound up going to tri county tech for my B. Same school my grandpa went to back in '92. God willing, I'll pass my test today. Third party.
FYI, the deadline for rule §383.79 was July 8th, 2015 In theory a state MUST accept out of state skills tests. I am not sure how many states are still out of compliance but there shouldn't be many left.
