Profile For Billy F.

Thanks for clearing that up. I appreciate it.

If I am able to get residency in another state, I think it's not necessary that there be a home terminal in that state. I believe I read that on this forum somewhere.

Hi,

I'm in a company sponsored school at this time and was told by the manager of the program that you could declare any company terminal as your home terminal. Furthermore, I could gain residency in that state too. If I wanted to change my residency to another state but visit my family on days off in my original state, would that be kosher?

Thanks in advance for your help on this matter.

Hi and welcome Billy.

Yeah dude, what you do (within the law) and where you do it is your business on your off time. You can change your domicile, or, home of record to wherever you want it to be. Just remember that you have to change the address on your CDL, insurance...etc. For residency, also, you will have to check with the states DMV to see what would qualify as proof of residency. There is another thread around here that covers this in more detail, but, basically whatever address you claim your "home" to be is where you will need to keep some of your things in case of an audit.

It is up to your company if they will route you to wherever you want to spend your time off if it is different from your domicile. Keep your dispatch happy!

Thanks for the reply.

I was looking into residency using a P.O. Box in another state. I don't see the need for renting an apartment since I will not be living there most of the time due to being on the road for weeks at a time. As far as you know, is this all on the up-and-up?

As far as an audit, don't I just need to keep up with my IRS paperwork and not necessarily a physical location for my residence?

I was just offered the same position with Swift and am now questioning whether this will be for me. I'm glad Josh asked the question because I was not sure what the job entailed.

I'm thinking this is one of the few routes available that will offer weekends at home but the fact that the majority of drivers do not want this job or request transfers off of it probably means that I will end up wanting another route as well.

Thanks again for the heads-up on this route.
