    For Texas, get an extended stay room in one of the major cities. Keep that room for at least 30 days and transfer your license over using the room as your address. Once you are in your truck, let that room go. Keep that address on your license. If law enforcement ever asks to see your ID and asks if that is your current address: "Yes."

    For any important mail, get a P.O. Box. Sign up for Informed Delivery with USPS and every day you will receive an email showing what mail, if any, is being delivered to the address(es) you request. I have Informed Delivery for my home address and a P.O. Box of mine.

    Florida DMV no longer accepts Escapees addresses as proof of residency when transferring license from another state. They have gotten hip to the game.

    DHT won't hire from South Dakota. That's what they told me when I "lived" in Sioux Falls.

    Probably better to rent an airbnb in a rural place where you can just park the bobtail over in the dirt.

    The state parks let you park your bobtail there?

    Yep
    I never had any issues

    it’s smaller than most motorhomes
    And I was paying for a camp site in the campground , same as a camp trailer or motorhome .

    One state park had a marina and a huge parking lot and told me it was ok to bring my trailer as long as it wasn’t loaded .

    Going that route, an inexpensive trailer on a cheap piece of land located within the hiring area of the desired company would be better.
