NC new CDL regs?

I'm looking to gettin into trucking, problem is I live in MA which has ridiculous regs, only a couple of schools which I don't have that kind of money for, and this state sucks anyways and was already looking to relocate asap. I was looking at either NH or NC as I have family in both states and am familiar with both areas. I have talked to a few different recruiters for the mega's for company schooling and they said they'd take me as soon as I switch my license over to another state.
I'm leaning more towards NC as I'm sick of the NE winters and I looked into sampson community college who's program would be easily affordable on my own. how ever I look into the the new cdl requirements:
Necessary Documentation to Apply for a CDL

• Proof of residency―You must be a North Carolina resident to have a NC CDL. Examples include military orders, passports, INS documents, or bank statements. For a complete listing of acceptable documents, see the CDL Manual.
• Proof of age and identity. For a complete listing of documents that satisfy the requirement for proof of age and identity, please see Chapter One of the Driver's Handbook.
• Proof of Social Security number―For a North Carolina CDL, you must show your original Social Security card. If you do not have one or are ineligible for a Social Security number, see the CDL Manual for a list of acceptable substitutes.
• Proof of liability insurance.
• Proof of clear driving record―When you apply for an original or renewal CDL, you must provide proof of a clear driving record for personal and commercial vehicles. You must certify that your privilege to drive any motor vehicle is not suspended, revoked, or disqualified anywhere. You must also surrender any and all driver licenses upon obtaining your CDL, which will function for both commercial and personal vehicles. For details, visit the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles website.
• Medical and physical requirements―If you are required to have a medical card, bring it with you when you apply for a new CDL or renew one. See more details in "Federal Guidelines" below.

I'm not sure what exactly they mean by a clear driving record? I had an accident in june where I swerved to avoid a dog in the road and hit a post on the side of the road. think that would disqualify me from NC? just trying to figure out my next move. TIA

 

yeah sorry thats for NC.

NH:
Apply for a Commercial Driver License (CDL)

Drivers who currently hold a valid New Hampshire operators license and wish to add commercial classifications, may appear at any DMV office between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to begin testing and must bring:

• A current valid New Hampshire license.
• An application for CDL .
• A valid, up-to-date Medical Card.

Every applicant is required to pass a vision test and the CDL General Knowledge Test. Additional knowledge tests are required based on the desired Classifications and Endorsements. Drivers should thoroughly review the Commercial Driver License Manual before applying for a CDL.

Once the required knowledge tests have been passed, the applicant will be scheduled for a Road Skills Test based on the desired class and endorsements.

Think NC is crazy look at MA, too much to copy and paste so here the link> http://www.massrmv.com/rmv/license/8cdl.htm

if you don't want to read all that just look at the converting to MA regs:
Converting an Out-of-State Commercial Driver's License

When converting an out-of-state CDL, the written and road tests may be waived if the CMV operator is currently licensed at the time of his/her application, and the following criteria are met:

1. An applicant must certify that, during the two-year period immediately prior to applying for a CDL he/she:
   1. Has not had more than one license;
   2. Has not had any license suspended, revoked, or canceled;
   3. Has not had any convictions for any type of motor vehicle for the disqualifying offenses contained in 49 CFR § 383.51(b);
   4. Has not had more than one conviction for any type of motor vehicle for serious traffic violations; and
   5. Has not had any conviction for a violation of State or local law relating to motor vehicle traffic control (other than a parking violation) arising in connection with any traffic accident, and has no record of an accident in which he/she was at fault; and
2. An applicant must provide evidence and certify that:
   1. He/she is regularly employed in a job requiring operation of a CMV; and
   2. He/she has operated, for at least 2 years immediately preceding application for a CDL, a vehicle representative of the commercial motor vehicle the driver

The following documentation must be provided for waiver consideration:

• Current out-of-state Commercial Driver's License
• A copy of a driving record from a previous state of licensure, indicating that the customer has the minimum requirement of two years of experience from the date of issuance of the Commercial Driver's License
• Verification of employment on company letterhead, which must contain dates of employment and class of vehicle operated

If the above requirements are met, the customer can obtain a Massachusetts Commercial Driver's License without taking the general knowledge exam or a road test. If the customer cannot meet the above requirements, the out-of-state Commercial Driver's License can be converted to a Massachusetts Class D driver's license. The out-of-state license must be surrendered at this time. The customer may then apply for a Massachusetts Commercial Learner's Permit. Customers must pass the written and road tests in order to obtain the Commercial Driver's License.
The conversion process is the same for all commercial motor vehicle classes (Class A, Class B, and Class C). However, note that some states issue non-commercial Class A, B, and/or C driver's licenses that do not qualify as Commercial Driver's Licenses under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's definition. These can only be converted into a Massachusetts Class D driver's license.
Expired Commercial Driver's Licenses cannot be converted. However, an out-of-state Commercial Driver's License that has been expired for less than four years can be converted to a Massachusetts Class D driver's license.
