A living in the truck and eliminating my residence question?

PA accepts a magazine subscription AFTER you bring a person who will sign an affidavit that you are a resident of PA and meet other conditions.

 

Former 5+ year resident of South Dakota here. If you're looking to live full-time on road (I did that too for a few years), SD will set you up WELL for that. @Chinatown posted the info for Dakota Post...they also make it easy for you. Sure, it'll be somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 to set up the mail forwarding, and probably another $80 or $90 to transfer your CDL over to SD, but even adding those two costs together is still significantly less than whatever you may be paying for rent + utilities. Also, the SD DPS is a one-stop shop: register for your appointment, go into the DPS station, show them all your documentation (and in SD, all you need to prove residency is two pieces of mail with your street address on it—in this case, the street address DakotaPost will give you), pay the $, stand in front of the canvas, let them shoot your picture, you wait about 5-10 minutes, and out spits a piece of plastic with a little star in the upper corner with your face, name, address, and CDL qualification. Thing will be good for eight years. (I do kinda miss that place...just saying. But Oklahoma ain't bad, either.)

Now, I WILL add the caveat that I don't know how SD will handle transferring your H endorsement (I passed all my endorsement tests IN SD so I didn't have to deal with that piece.) But you can call and ask.

 

8 years? I've never seen a license last more than 4.

 

Shoot...Oklahoma's licenses are good for eight as well!

 

My Texas CDL is good for 8 years as well.

 

Can you become a roommate with someone? Or have someone you went to high school with, if it's not too long ago, and use thier address. But if you need two utility bills. Idk.


I think the pass port might help with the address requirements, since it proves who you are.

 

That's wild. I've never been so fortunate. In all the states I've lived in they were only good for 4 years.

 

Several years ago, when I changed my ID to Real ID, I had to provide a copy of my lease. Yes, you can be OK with just a regular ID, but you can't enter Federal Buildings that require ID, fly commercially, or enter a Military base without the real ID. Over time, this situation is just going to get tighter. I recommend you find a solution to this problem that does not involve anything but a real residential US address!

In my last 2 years on the road, I used my sister's address.
