    Hello All:
    Out of Curiosity, what address could a Truck Driver use for their CDL Driver's License if He/She does not have a residential address such as a home or an apartment?
    I am trying to live as a Nomad Trucker (no wife or kids), and I don't see a need to live in an apartment as I am planning to be over the road 95% of the time.
    Your advice and feedback is very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    You fall back onto the parents address.

    Thats what I did most of my life. They handle the mail, throw the junk away and that's pretty much it.

    When I got married, I bought a house and lands with two little words IDO, Arkansas transferred my Maryland license to the new home address in about 20 minutes in those days.

    Currently I am compliant with the real ID licensing. That meant I needed the lease agreement original second photo ID which is my concealed carry state issued license and a utility bill and done. Along with BC and other things. Upgrading that to CDL A is not going to be a problem.

    Thanks for the info, when it comes time for renewal of CDL do you use a utility bill and bank statement from the UPS Box to show proof of address at DMV?
    Thanks
