HOW TO SWITCH MISSISSIPPI CDL TO INDIANA W/O HAVING A RESIDENCE

Hello all this is my first post.
SITUATION- I am from Chicago Illinois originally. i joined the military in 2013 and just got out in October 2018. i drove trucks in the us navy while stationed in gulf-port Mississippi and i obtained my class a Mississippi cdl. i am planning on moving back to chicago illinois temporarily with a relative to live again and then to northwest indiana to live permanently . however, i see that Illinois makes cdl drivers take the road test all over again in order to transfer your CDL and i have no interest in doing that because its stupid and that George Ryan scandal made the state go overboard with the transfer requirements. So, i would like to transfer my CDL TO NORTHWEST INDIANA(GARY, HAMMOND, MERRIVILLE ETC) so that i can theoretically commute to Chicago and drive for a company. a lot of local driving jobs in chicago require you to live within like a 50 mile radius which is covered by gary Indiana, hammond and the northwest Indiana area.


PROBLEM: i will not have an actual Indiana address until i can save up enough money to get my own place. until that time comes i will be crashing with a relative in Chicago. does anyone have any suggestions on how i can switch my Mississippi class a cdl to Indiana (specifically northwest indiana) without me having an actual Indiana address yet. Indiana has residency requirements that i cant meet until i get an actual lease. any and all suggestions would be helpful. thanks!!

again, ILLINOIS makes cdl holders take the road test all over again and i am not wanting to go that route.

 

@buddyd157 im confused? most of the local companies have a radius living requirement of 35-50 miles of chicago. so i dont think that can work if i am trying to get with one of the companies that requires that. u see what i am saying?

 

@Chinatown that might work. i am going to look into that. this illinois transfer is a real headache man. taking the skills test all over is ridiculous.

 

@Chinatown yea man. i earned my cdl and this state is making it impossible for people to want to come here to drive. the only reason i am moving back to the state is out of a family emergency. any other ideas on how i can get around this bs illinois requirement?
