I apologize if this topic isn't in the right place... I dont know where else to put it.
I recently moved to MS from CA and I cannot get a job due to govt. shutdowns. The state of Mississippi is not handling any out of state CDL transfers until at least April 1st. That date is subject to be extended due to the Coronavirus outbreak. My only option for work is to use my parents address in CA and get hired OTR from there. I have been informed by SWIFT and SCHNEIDER that if I do that I will not be able to take hometime anywhere but my "place of residence". I cannot get hired in MS without an MS CDL. So this post is both a question of what the hell do I do and a warning for anyone moving out of state. I assume most other states are also suspending out state cdl transfers. Also I know its early but which industries in trucking look to be the most promising during this unprecedented time?

Many companies don't care where you take home time, as long as it's within their hiring area.
Check around for companies that hire in CA and MS and that should take care of it.
Use your CA address for now so you can get rolling, then when MS agrees to transfer your cdl, simply do a change of address with the trucking company.
Try these:
This company hires new cdl school grads and has tuition reimbursement. Hire in MS and CA.

Do you need a refresher course?

Western Express gets some bad press, but can solve your problem.
I like this company because they fill a much needed niche for some drivers.
Some drivers don't like it there and some have been there for many years.
Hire in CA and MS.
No Recent Experience? No Problem.
We’ve pioneered the industry’s first “REFRESHER” program for drivers with NO RECENT EXPERIENCE, including drivers who have a CDL but didn’t attend truck driving school.
