Moving To A Different State?
Topic 33986 | Page 1
Chris, you can keep your home base in Nevada and work for a company in another state unless they don’t hire from Nevada. If a company doesn’t have any routes to Nevada, they may not hire you because they can’t get you back for hometime.
You can move with your CDL to any state you choose and transfer the license to that state. Some states are easier than others. Some drivers choose a state with no income tax, like Texas. I changed my address and CDL to South Dakota for that reason.
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.
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.
Just to reiterate what BK stated, I got my Kentucky CDL from an Indiana school while living in Kentucky, and have since then worked for a company in Indiana, Kansas, and will start working for a Tennessee company in two days. The only issue I’ve run into is filing my taxes (I got rejected lol but this is quite common for Louisvillians working in Southern Indiana)
