    Where in Alaska?I lived there 1976 to 2021.Anchorage,Palmer,North Pole.

    FMCSA has approved providers for that training in case you need to do it,you might not need to go to a school,that all depends on the NC license requirements.

    I lived in Anchorage for awhile then moved to Palmer. Went to the Northern industrial PTDI school (professional truck drivers institute) in Palmer! Go back every 2 years or so and plan to move back eventually.

    Thanks Chinatown. To the OP, you will not beed the ELDT to get your CDL back. You will need to take all yhe knowledge exams, complete the threat assessment/fingerprints for the hazmat then take the skills and road test again.

    As for renting a truck, that is getting harder to do. Check with some of the CDL in a day type schools, they may work with you. Also, try finding a third party exam location as they will often have a truck and trailer available for rent when you take your test there.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I don’t know if they’re considered one of the “CDL in a day” outfits, but this is who I used 25 years ago.

    After 5 trips out the guy said I was ready for the test, much to my surprise at the time.
