Paid CDL Training for IL Resident

So, I've been a reader and occasional poster for a number of months. For a number of reasons, my timeline of starting into company-paid CDL training might be accelerating quite significantly. But I have a question for you good folks:

When I do my training through one of the major companies, I would take my CDL test through them/in that state, and then take the paperwork back to my home state of Illinois to get my CDL transferred to Illinois, correct? Is it different for the state of Illinois?

I'm thrown off because the Wilson Logistics website indicates that it is different for Illinois residents: "We will then route you back home with the appropriate paperwork to get your CDL transferred over to your state. If your residency is in IL, you will be routed back to IL to take your CDL exam." Wilson Logistics CDL Training Timeline

Yet, when I asked the Prime recruiter about this, she had no clue (and didn't seem very interested in the question, tbh). Yet you would think they recruit drivers from Illinois all the time. It doesn't matter much, except that I'm trying to plan what these next steps will look like and how I would take the CDL test back in Illinois since I would obviously need a truck to do that.

Thanks for any insights!

hello, Thank you for posting, I found a lot of interesting information here. A really good post, very thankful and helpful.
