Truck Driver Life on the Road
Is a Class A CDL transferrable to a new state when you move live a regular drivers license?

I'm planning on moving from Wisconsin to Virginia in about 6 months. If I got my Class A CDL here in WI, will I have to retake the exams when I move?

Truck driving is a solitary life but an interesting one.
you can transfer it to another state,,you have to re-take the eye test ,but that was all i had to do,i transferred mine and didn’t have any problems with doing it,,good luck,have a good x-mas.
Just as Dodge Man said, you only need the eye exam. People who have a license from another country many times are required to take the written exam or the driving exam when trying to get a license in the U.S.
a Class A CDL is a national licence,you are registered with the
national database in Washington DC,you don’t have to retake the exam
change of adress at your local dmv where your relocating to
depending upon the state laws you will probably be able to transfer your license,my Calif.CDL transferred to a Nevada CDL but heres the glitch…you will have to take the Haz-mat test again,if you have the endorsement,the rest really pretty much transfer straight across,I was able to keep my double/triples and tanker without testing again,just the hazmat needed to be redone.I would get these documents in order when going to the DMV to the state you are transferring to:birth-certificate,social security card,TSA letter(original)original license,that youll have to surrender and time.without these documents it makes it tough.Dont expect them to have a copy or access to your TSA info if this is applicable to you,take in your original copy
no you wont need to retake the test i switched from North Carolina to Virginia and i didnt have to retake .
