Profile For Smoke

Howdy~ I've lived in Prescott, Arizona for about 25 years and I've traveled 89A several times....in a pick-up truck. When I head north in my 45 foot motor home, I go through Page instead of 89A. In my opinion, 89 is quicker and with less traffic...other than Page. 89A is the route to the North rim of the Grand Canyon that most of the tourists take. It is a beautiful drive thou.

Thank you both for the replies and the information....and congrats to Tractor Man.

I've found a wealth of info on this forum and plan on putting it to good use.

My goal is to go to a trucking school (Sage??) rather than a company school; go flatbed with a company such as Melton or Roehl. I haven't talked to any recruiters yet and won't be able to make a commitment until the end of September.

Thanks again.

Howdy all~ I've been in stealth mode on the forum and reading the topics when I can. But, I have a couple questions. A little bit about me first to set the stage.

I'm a 63 year old, retired firefighter. I sold my house about 4 years ago and bought a 45 foot motor home and have been traveling the country ever since. I've registered my vehicles and claimed South Dakota as my "residence" but spend my summers in Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota and winter in Arizona. So, basically, I'm a nomad and can settle in any State to acquire my CDL and get a Driving job.

I’m not sure I entirely understand the process of obtaining the CDL. Here’s a couple scenarios.

• So, I’m from South Dakota but I want to go to a school…say in Wyoming. Do I get my CDL permit in SD or WY?

• Let’s say there is a job in Arizona. Do I have to change residency and obtain an Arizona CDL?
