    New texas law says you must be a resident of texas to get a texas cdl. They closed the loophole where you used the hotel address

    Ask the training companies what they recommend.

    If you know someone in Texas, try downloading a lease agreement or rent agreement then fill it out like you're renting a room. Maybe do a 2 yr. agreement, then after you get your license, throw it away and just use the address for mail.

    Does anyone know a reason why this wouldn't work?

    Lots of oilfield workers getting CDL training and Texas CDL's that are from all over the country.

    If you're from Cali, check into the Displaced Workers Act. The state will pay for your training at a LOCAL CDL school. It's administered by the Unemployment Office. Best program out there.

    What he said: ^^ Get your CDL in Cali at a local school and not be beholden to a trucking company for payback.

    Schneider is another. They also offer tanker training as another option.

    Yep, at their main terminal in El Paso. I don't think they use their original terminal in Las Cruces for anything.
