Be prepared when you go to the DMV. CDLs are NOT cheap.

Around $750 with the cost of truck rental, license fees, TSA fees
(hazmat), and a couple books. Not cheap, but certainly not terribly
expensive.

What's the actual breakdown on those costs, Pete?
Curious minds, etc.


Also you will have to have your DOT physical every two years(unless you
have certain medical problems), NOT the same as your normal physical.

CVS's Minute Clinic does DOT physicals for about $60.

Not bad.
