    Maybe not a campground, but No problem in an RV park, especially if mail is delivered there.

    >>>>You need to have a residence address on a 250 miles from the Dc that you applied after 90 days of hired. ( the first day onboarding is your date of hire!<<<<. You can use a family/friend address as your own if they live 250 miles from it. You will need to change your driver's license to the State if is an out of state (and hazmat after 90 days of hired date). I saw a stealthy camper van parking on a DC, not sure someone is doing this. If you wanna stay in the DC parking lot for your 36 hours I think will be ok, just let them know. In this case you can stay there for the next week of work, you just won't make any money on the reset, besides saving time not driving home. But still you need the 250 miles address. If the campground is a year around and have a fix address as a proof of residence, I don't know states rules or how campgrounds works, but if the campground is considered a 'resident' area or a year around operation. Where you can have a main address and a lot number as in an apartment number? Meaning you can really get as a residence address. I don't know why you can't use it. You will use all your HOS on driving and on duty weekly. That's how you get your PTO time for vacation and others. So there isn't any rollover hours on the 8 day. Walmart like be safe and if you not on an off-duty for a 30 minutes break or a 10 for sleeping, your clock is on duty. You going to get a coffee on a truck stop, you are on duty! Get the point.

    Speaking of coffee, can coffee be made in the trucks while on the 10hr break? From what i have been reading on here not many WM drivers stop @ truck stops for their 10hr breaks.
