All unrestricted drivers licenses are transferable when you move to another state. However, you must first be domiciled in the state you wish to possess a license in. Be forewarned - CDLs in North Carolina are absurdly expensive. My Class A with two endorsements cost $220 to renew back in 2010.
Once you've domiciled yourself in North Carolina, you just go to the drivers license office. You'll need to bring a second form of identification, Social Security card, a current DOT medical card, and proof of address. Then they process it, you pay out the nose, and you'll be given a paper temporary license to use until your NC CDL arrives in the mail.
Yes
No. When you fail a ticket in North Carolina, they issue an indefinite suspension until that ticket is paid. You won't be able to get a CDL with an active suspension. Go pay the ticket and reinstatement fee.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less and designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) = Class C CDL with either P (Passenger) or S (School Bus) endorsements, depending on which one fits the job.GVW of more than 26,000 lbs = Class B CDL with appropriate endorsements
well its 60dollars for the license, then you need a truck to take the road test , if you rent a truck and trailer it could cost 250-300 unless your talking about going to driving school,then i;m not sure about that ====================== Actual licencing fees vary by state. In North Carolina, the base CDL fee is $120. In Virginia, it was considerably less when I looked into it (although I don't remember the exact amount). The total cost will be based on your state's fees, plus their fees for any endorsements you may have.
They usually look just like any other regular drivers licence, except they'll say "Commercial Drivers Licence" at the top of them (which may be in different coloured lettering - it's in yellow letters on my North Carolina CDL, whereas it's in orange on a regular Class C licence).
You would have to be more specific about what a Q restriction is. Restriction codes vary by state (here in North Carolina, they are numbered). However, to test for a passenger endorsement, a road test is required as well as a written test, even if you have a CDL already.
The length doesn't matter as much as the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the trailer and the Gross Combined Weight Rating of the combination of vehicle + trailer, as well as its use.
Whatever the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating dictates. Regular license if under 26,001 lbs. GVW, Class B CDL if more 26,001 lbs. or higher GVW, Class A CDL if a combination of 26,001 lbs. or more GCW in which the unit in tow has a GVW in excess of 10,000 lbs.
You would have to explain what state your licence is from, and whether or not that's a restriction code. To drive a semi, you would need a Class A CDL (unless it's a registered farm vehicle, exempt from CDL requirements, in which case, your state is free to establish their own licencing requirements). I know in North Carolina, a "No tractor trailer" restriction on a Class A CDL was an "8" restriction. Taking a quick glance, I can see that 57 is a CDL restriction code in Tennessee. If TN is your state, then your answer would be no - 57 is the "except tractor-trailer" restriction code for that state.
Yes, but if you're going to remain as a resident in Virginia, you're going to have to switch your licence over to a Virginia licence. I believe VA gives you 30 days after establishing yourself as a resident to do this.
