Has Anyone Run Into This Issue?
Topic 17063 | Page 1
It probably has something to do with their hiring area or difficulty they have had with transferring or testing for your cdl to/in your home state. Its supposed to be simple to transfer your cdl or to school and test in a state that you don't live in but some states aren't very cooperative.
I don't know specifics but ive heard some states are difficult to transfer your passing scores to.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
I think part of the problem may be with the skills testing. Not all states test the the same skills. I know SC tests the 100' straight line back, Offset drivers side, and parallel park on the right.
Yeah it has to do with skills mainly because some states have different requirements. I am from New Mexico and did my schooling in Arizona with Swift. Don't let this discourage you, there are a lot of companies to choose from in Wyoming.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
Thanks for replying. I also tried a couple other companies, and it turns out that these companies have a hiring policy for Wyoming, because there's not really any freight in Wyoming. I did get ahold of Jim Palmer, and things seem too be looking good that I might be able to get in their training program.

First off I want to thank Brett and everyone involved with the Trucking Truth Website. This site helped me with passing the exam getting my class A learners permit.
Now I have a question. I called KLLM about their driving academy, and the recruiter said because I'm from WY, I wasn't able to attend their training program because the state legislation, says I need to be a resident of either of the 3 states their training is located. Or because I'm from WY, I have to have a full CDL before I could attend their training.
I'm wondering if anyone else on here has encountered this same issue.
Thanks, Jason
