    Has anyone transferred their License from one state to another while still in the current or old state ?
    im currently in TN but i am relocating to TX soon. Most jobs that are actually calling me back are telling they would only hire me if i have a Texas state license first... So far, ive been doing my research and i plan to use a virtual ( real physical address ) address with iPostal1 . im curious if anyone has done this yet as far as with a CDL .. is DPS strict with addresses ? im reading on DPS site that they deny, revoke, or suspend texas CDLs for "falsifying information on CDL applications"

    EDIT : the plan is to get 2 proofs of residency sent to the mail box, go to their dmv with that and get a Texas issued license

    any advice ?

    Bet. I was just reading about that site earlier Reddit. As long as it’s legit for our commercial licenses.

    It is because it's a physical address and you'll receive your mail there also

    You can use your out of state license here for 30 days.Most companies will give you that time to get moved and get a Texas license.

    Physical address means you reside there, even if you travel 365 days a year. You'll have to register your vehicle there also to make it legal.

    Of course but I’m since I’m relocating there and I haven’t made the move yet, I have to use a virtual address so I can transfer my license to the new state

    I think companies are becoming more strict on this rule. I was told some companies stopped doing this
