Profile For Paul C.

Thanks to those who replied and good luck. I did a lot of online research but could not find the entire transfer criteria for California anywhere, not even in the DMV literature. Most opinions point to having to having to complete written test in general and endorsements, resubmit medical, and resubmit TSA for Haz-Mat. I guess ill have to go to a California CDL test location to get the word on whether or not I will have to the the skills tests as well. Thanks for the information on the tax subject.

Recruiter says May 22 or May 29 are possibilities. Still don't know for sure.

I am about to start a company sponsored training program in Montana. I live in California. The company plans to transfer my residence to Montana when I apply for a Commercial Driver Permit. Later I will be completing the skills test to get my CDL in Montana.

I have several questions about transferring the CDL.

Will this cause a problem with state income taxes (state of residence) if I have an out of state driver license? Will I be required to transfer the CDL back to California? If I transfer the CDL back to California, will I have to retake all the written and skills tests? (Mostly concerned about having a truck for the road test). Should I leave my license in Montana (when I get it) even though I have always really lived in California?
