    You won't lose your endorsements. Hazmat has to be from your domicile state.
    I think you graduate with a Colorado CDL.
    This is a good time to think about changing your domicile to a state with no personal income taxes, such as Florida and Texas. It's easy to do and it's easier to change domicile to Florida than Texas. Many drivers on this forum have done that.

    If you choose Florida, you'll get an address in Bushnell, Florida. Don't have to own or rent a place there either. Just register your vehicle at Escapees RV Club in Bushnell, Florida.

    I actually have family that lives there, they won’t mind at all… so what does this mean? I will only pay federal income tax and not state?

    Yes, you'll only pay federal income taxes.
    Same here in Nevada where I live.
    I've lived in Florida, Tennessee, Nevada, Texas and none of those have state income taxes.
    I won't live in a state that charges me state income taxes.

    Well, looks like it might not matter at the moment. Stevens came across a case that showed as open. They said I could correct the issue and show proof. I called and it was a clerical error, they corrected and sent me an email letting me know it was corrected. I then forwarded it to my recruiter as well as my background coming back all cases closed since 2017 or earlier.

    I’ve received no email responses and they won’t answer the phone for me (I’ve been calling twice a day). Not really sure what’s up. Application is still open on Driver Pulse, but dropped down to 10%. Seems like this was a silent rejection lol.

    @buddha_ --

    It's tough enough for drivers like you to get into the game, even when times are good.

    Now, it looks like freight volumes are starting to head in the wrong direction--and thus beginning drivers like you may well have to work harder/longer.

    When all else fails (also, see posts #71 & 77 in this thread)...."go big or go home".....as they say.

    Look for companies with the biggest freight volumes.

    Easy examples--try Swift and/or Schneider.

    Did you try CRST? One of the drivers posted you don't have to run teams after training if you ask for a dedicated route.

    I’m getting ready to… holding off on them as a last resort as I don’t know how long I could handle triple bunking teams honestly.
