Some companies will give you a bonus to relocate for certain accounts, usually paid out after 30 days on the account. Werner does it and I’m sure you can find similar offers at other companies. As stated above, you’ll need to trade in your CDL in the new state.

Werner though...hmm aren't they the worst of the worst? lol I'll look into it.
Do you have any other companies that you can think of that do this. -

As far as Werner goes, I can only recommend them if what they have works best for your situation and experience.
Just a side note. You are not likely to see a relocation bonus on a Werner account that doesn’t have a high turnover like Dollar accounts.Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
The new ID requirements are putting the brakes on many people simply claiming an address change.
Myself and 2 others claimed residency in Washington, with only a physical address of a friend or drop box.
You can get a physical (fictional) address in almost any state that hasn’t upgraded their licenses to reflect the new requirements. But eventually the new ID requirements will catch up to you.
It took 10 minutes to obtain a WA state CDL. It took all day to replace it with my current state. Even though I have a home and 2 cars registered there. -
No dice.
I didn't go to one of their pre-approved schools...lol.
Boy, I'd like to think that I didn't have unrealistic expectations as far as how in-demand I'd be, but I'm getting a splash of cold water in my face.
I'm sensing a lot of reluctance out there.
I have no idea the numbers or whatnot, but I wonder if there is a recent surge of people trying to get into trucking combined with a slowdown in freight causing a cooling off in demand.
Sure seems that way. One company I'm trying to get with pushed ahead my on-board date two weeks because there was a surge of new drivers in the account I was trying to get. -
Vegas I don't know but Reno has gone insane. -
I wanted to move, so I got a UPS mailbox which counts as a physical address ($250/year) then went to my bank, changed my address and had them send me a paper statement, then changed the address on my car insurance and had them send me new cards.
After I had them all with my birth certificate, social security card, and current CDL I was in and out of the dmv office of my new state within an hour or so.Truckermania, dwells40, Mighty Bananas and 1 other person Thank this.
