Does he go to the main terminal to start his workday? Does the company have an office in his state? Which state appears on the W-2 for withholding? If he doesn't maintain a residence in the other state how can that be his home state?Believe nothing you have not personally researched and verified. -
See Pub 463, http://www.irs.gov/app/vita/globalmedia/p463.pdf , for the difference between tax home and family residence. State taxes will require an understanding the 2 states involved and if there is a wage reciprocity agreement between the 2 states.Comment

This came from Oregon.gov
I didn't read it in it's entirety but it may be worth researching.
The Amtrak Reauthorization and Improvement Act of 1990, Public Law 101-322, prohibits states and local governments from taxing compensation of certain nonresident employees who have regularly assigned duties in more than one state.Comment
