    75 miles one way is certainly more of a commute than I'd want.

    Wiley Sanders Trucking in Troy,AL hires new cdl grads.
    Either commute from where you are now or move in with your relatives and change your cdl to Alabama cdl using your relatives address.

    Tough decisions honestly. I think itd be easier to commute for now though. Tuscaloosa has a bunch of jobs and so does Jackson and Hattiesburg. If coca cola and pepsi don't work out here

    Kind of wish it was easy to do a long commute every week to hold a job in a different state while retaining the tax benefits of a cheaper state. So far, all the companies I've applied to in TX or CO won't put up with that, and just like most companies in other states, enforce their terminal domicile rules to a tee.
    "You could work here and we'll hire you for sure. But you've also got to swear an oath to our great state as well!!"

    Escapees RV Club can set you up with a legal domicile in Texas,Florida, or one of the Dakotas. Don't remember which Dakota; it's on their website. Several drivers that post on here have done that.
    OK, here's from their website: @bentstrider83
    "In an effort to make it easier for you, Escapees RV Club created ESCAPEES:HOME, which offers three physical addresses that may be used for the purposes of domicile: Texas, Florida and South Dakota.
    Where a person's home of residence or legal domicile is located can impact your tax liability, vehicle license fees and insurance cost."

    What's that about? They want to collect income tax for both states?
