Default Transfer a CDL from state to state ?'s

Anyone know if you have to reatake the road test and all the other crap in the state of Kansas when you transfer your CDL from another state. I tried searching on the net., but really have no idea where to look. Thanks in advance

You try looking under Kansas DMV's website?

All I know is that from my research into moving out of CA, I find it's as simple as paying a fee and getting a license in the respective other state your moving into, like myself fleeing CA into AZ.

I wouldn't imagine Kansas isn't all that much difficult as far as CDL transfer.

I've changed states twice. From AZ to VT then NC. Both times I just transferred my CDL by paying for a new one. The only tests I had to take was my Haz-Mat like the last post said. Just like a drivers license.

It is going to depend on the state. Illinois makes you take all the written tests again.

I live in Il. currently, and they make you take the written and the ROAD TEST, like everybody has their own truck to take the test in.:roll: ****, I hate IL. Bunch of corrupt bastards.

That sticks if you have take the road test. About 3yrs ago I moved from Wi. to Ca and was first told by the Ca. dmv that I would have to take the road test. I lost a possible job because of it just to find out a few weeks later that I didn't have to take the road test just the all the written test.

Good luck

I think that it varies from one state to another. Since the CDL is supposed to essentially be a national drivers license I don't see why you should not be able to turn in your old license and get a new one in your current state without having to take any tests. I have relocated in the past and have had to take the written portion of the test, but never was asked to take a driving test. Perhaps it has something to do with the length that I have had my drivers license. If you need to get a license in a new state, the best thing to do is to find their licensing office and get a new one, regardless of what is needed. I doubt that you will be asked to take a road test.

You know, the more I think about it, Vermont just handed me another license while NC had me take the written test. Nothing major. No road test on either.
