Money, money, money...10 years ago when I would re-up my CDL it cost me $40. it still costs around $40 to get the actual license BUT I have to pay $150 every 4 years for a background check when I renew. They background check me & every other bubba working at the local docks. But they don't have to background check the driver coming up from Mexico ???
