Tak a few days off/vacation, then go to Texas and do what's necessary to switch your CDL to Texas. After that's done, return to Tennessee and go back to work. Tell your company you have a Texas CDL and don't be in a hurry to do that. Now, hire on with a company that hires drivers with a Texas CDL.

That’s legit my plan lol. Going to go with escapees here in the next week for an address. Switch my car insurance and registration over

Tell your company you have a Texas CDL, and only after you find a new job, and don't be in a hurry to do that. Take as long as it takes to hire on with another company that hires with a Texas CDL and using your new Texas address; a week, two weeks, a month or whatever. Once you're hired, simply resign your current company and say you're moving to Texas. Don't even mention you already have a Texas CDL.

I’m having a hard time finding a company to let me work (30 or 90) days till I can get it switched

That’s kind of crazy because actually the company I work for is based out of Vermont and I have a New Hampshire CDL and it has never been an issue. They said they hired guys from all over and it didn’t matter. Of course you could fit all the New England states in Texas so they probably think a bit differently up here lol.

Three times apiece, and we would still have plenty of room left over. Heck, you could fit Rhode Island or Connecticut inside of Brewster County.
