Do I *NEED* a home as a new driver?

You NEED an address to claim residency and get mail, but other than that there aren't any problems with this plan.

 

As others have said all you need is an adress for prof of residencey.

If your going to live outa your truck, treat it like your home. Don't buy thing's just to buy them. What I mean is, you need a cb ( well you can do without but) don't buy one til you know what it is you want. Cheap walmart cb will get you into the shipper/receiver, but you might not be able to #### chat going down the road. $600 one will let you #### chat, but is a waste of money if your not going to use it.

A good aftermarket matress is worth it's weight in gold for a good nights sleep, but you'll regret that pillowtop if you prefer a firm matress.

Of course worry about getting a job first.

 

Please Just bear in mind that you'll be trying to find parking for a 75" vehicle while you do this.it's a whole lot easier said than done

 

I'm with you on this OP. Don't have my own place, no girl, no kids. Might as well work hard for a few years and enjoy the country. My "home times" are gonna be weekend get aways. Gotta see if those vegas strippers are as hot as on TV.

 

You won't qualify for per diem deduction on your taxes if you don't have a "home" to be away from overnights. That could get a little expensive come tax time. Pick an address...friends, parents, main squeeze and use that. Spend a few days there once in awhile so you don't run the risk of tax fraud.

 

There will be no ''weekend getaways''..Your getaway will be hooked to your trailer in a truck stop parking lot...
