Yes, road test, maneuvers, PTI. That is my understanding.

Well, as long as you HAVE a mailing address in Ohio....and as long as you DON"T have anything, like rent, utilities, house payments, etc in your name in IL...you can just stop by and "visit" there. But you need to remember about tax time...I'm not real sure if it will affect your taxes, if you are married, but I guess your wife could file married, head of household...You'd have to ask a CPA....Taxes aren't my strong suit.. But we sure would like to hear the answer you get !!!
Not married anymore. I'll be at my GF home so all utilities are in her name. I can change it over eventually I guess.
I called the Illinois Secretary of State. They confirmed new state law says to transfer your CDL from another state you have to re-test EVERYTHING. Written exams, road test, PTI, and maneuvers. What a crock of S*it.

I live in IL. had to take everything over to remove an Air brake restriction. It (dirty word) in IL. had to go to a CDL school for a finish up course to learn how to Double clutch just for the test. a driver was there also prepairing to retake everything as he was transfering from Texas. where would your pay check come from, ect. this is B.S. there should be a Federal CDL , like my commercial pilots Lic. the Feds set the basic standards anyway, $$$ and politics... if you end up having to it all over, I would recomend a finish up course at a local CDL school. it cost me $ 800 for the pretrip training, yard practice and local road test route. state standards where the DMV examiners came out once a week for on site testing.. SW Chicago.. msg me if needed,, Dan

Double Clutch:
To engage and then disengage the clutch twice for every gear change.
When double clutching you will push in the clutch, take the gearshift out of gear, release the clutch, press the clutch in again, shift the gearshift into the next gear, then release the clutch.
This is done on standard transmissions which do not have synchronizers in them, like those found in almost all Class A trucks.

Department of Motor Vehicles, Bureau of Motor Vehicles

I'll be living in Mokena. I've heard how bad IL is in general. The state likes to make money any way they can. I'll just keep my address at my sisters place and worry about it later this summer.

See here is the thing. You tax rate will be done by your company According To your Home state and your Company will Be Sending In Your State A federal taxes. to your home state which will be Ohio according to you CDL address.
Here are a few things to think about.... Tax evasion and perhaps tax fruad as well. And they will find out since your company sends the taxes each week to your home state listed on your CDL.
Breaking federal law by not having a current or truthful address on you CDL.
Lying to your company about your place of residence. Will get you fired and they will find out since they will be sending in your taxes weekly.
Is it really worth all that trouble to avoid retaking the tests? To me it would not be. My advice would be to just bite the bullet and retake all the test and be legal OR just don't move to Illinois.

Illinois laws suck on many levels.
Do you have to relinquish you current license in order to even test in Illinois? If for some reason you wouldn't pass on the first try could you find yourself not having a CDL until you were able to test again?

I currently hold my CDL in Ohio and plan to move soon to Mokena, Illinois. Most states let you transfer your CDL with a fee, of course. In order to transfer your CDL from another state to Illinois you have to re-test the whole thing. My question is if I keep my address in Ohio, how would they know I really moved to Illinois? Couldn't I just keep up my Ohio CDL and be "sleeping" in Illinois, if you catch my drift?
