Indiana Cdl Permit
Topic 385 | Page 2
Okay here is what happened with me. I live in ky, and I am in school in Indy. I brought 2 pieces of mail post marked within the last 60 days, birth certificate, ss card, marrage certificate, and ,my ky operators license. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING OR YOU WILL BE SITTING AND WAITING WHILE EVERYONE IS PROGRESSING. My permit and Indiana license has my ky address on it. Crazy I know.Now this is imprortant listen carefully. Some states are not like ky. When i get back to ky with my Cdl's I can simply trainsfer them back, but some states like Illinois will make you take your CDL exam again. thats pretrip, backing, and road skills.
Side Question: Would I also need my divorce papers? Some states require them and some dont because Ive had a name change since birth.

Good Grief !!! the amount of invasion of privacy that agency's demand just gets me. Theres a trucking outfit that calls me every year to drive, and every year I turn em down....why ??? Cuz they do hair folicle testing for drugs. I'm like, the danged federal government doesn't even do that !!! Its the line I've drawn in the sand...I don't do drugs, haven't for alot of years...but if the regular required tests aren't good enough for them, then they can find another butt to warm that truck seat. I can always find a job driving truck with someone who doesn't want my danged hair.
Marrage and divorce for any famale who does'nt have the same last name that she was born with.
Refer to my previous post.
Yes my Indiana permit and license has my ky address on it. I will have to get my butt back to ky in 60 days to have it changed back over or it will expire. I havent taken a hair folical test just urin. Maybe when I get set to Celadon, IDK?
I don't know of any other trucking company but this local one that asks for hair folicle testing...but to me, its just to far over the limit.
CSA just finished a listen session and hair testing for drugs was the main topic concerning drug testing. While some may not like it all the speakers there,companies AND drivers(mostly owner ops) and a few reps from OOIDA were pretty much in agreement that companies can and should do hair testing if that is what they want to do...thing is the reason CSA had this as a topic they were trying to gauge reaction if they were to mandate drug hair testing across industry wide. Sounds like very few people had any objections to this idea.
One reason companies hair test is to see if you are lying. More and more companies are asking if you have used any drugs within the last 90 days and of course the hair test can go up to 90 days back with hair that is an inch to an inch and a half long.

I know Super Service does, and CR England did random on a few people.

Agreed guyjax. Thanks for the clarification.
So Peebles, you are saying that you have your permanent Kentucky address on your Indiana permit and that same Kentucky address will go on your Indiana CDL? If so, that differs significantly from what the person at Indiana DMV stated. Go figure!
