Hello! My name is Nat. I came down from Alaska to work again in the trucking industry. I gave up my CDL-A because I thought I would never drive again. But then I became a school bus driver in Alaska and the company paid for the CDL-B. I know-I know what a mistake giving up my CDL-A, especially now that I want to drive again in the lower 48. The training companies will not accept my Alaska DL and want me to change my license to another state they accept a CDL from. Sure, I could get an Ohio DL to solve the problem, but I just don't want to be forced to let my Alaskan DL go without trying to exhaust all my options first. My cabin and homestead are in Alaska, and I just want to work in the lower 48. What's crazy is I'm experienced, although rusty, have an Alaska CDL-B with a learners permit and a current physical card. Trucking companies have said NO to the Alaska DL. Who would have ever thought? Crazy. Anyone know why? Would love to hear from you truckers out there regarding this situation. And thanks to you all in advance.

Lynden Transport runs to Alaska and has terminals there and in the lower 48.
Not sure if they hire Ohio drivers or not.
Do hire in Washington, Texas, Arizona for sure.
