    Hello Everyone,

    I'm seriously thinking about relocating from California to Nevada.

    Got 4 years under my belt with doubles/triples, tankers, and hazmat.

    How much of a hassle will it be to convert my California CDL to Nevada? Will I have to take ALL the written tests over again or just the hazmat? And do I have to take the skills tests again? My CDL is active and in good standing fwiw.

    And is it true that I must change within 30 days of relocating?

    Thank you.

    Also, Nevada doesn't have a state income tax and I believe also allows you to use a mailbox service as your home address (not a P.O. Box) in case anyone was wondering.

    I moved there from Texas. Gave them my Texas CDL and they gave me a Nevada CDL. Now when I came to Kommiefornia I had to take all of the tests all over again. Everything except for the road test. Pain in the ###. I told my wife that I dont care if we move to Mars I am not giving up my Cali CDL.

    I'm illegal in Las Vegas; still have my Tennessee license. Don't know what will happen when I finally go to the DMV. I have everything else though, plus a house.

    Did you go specifically to a CDL DMV office?

    Someone told me it's best if I go to a CDL-speciic DMV to expedite the process. If you have a hazmat, did you have to re-take the written test?
