    When we had our hotshot & was gone for a month or so, We would just get a form from the post office, fill it out & they would hold our mail from a specific date through a specific date. I cant be sure but I think you can also go on line, put a hold on it, then go back later when you know your going to get home & enter that date. They will do this for no charge.

    You can also have overnight packages sent to the fuel desk in care of you. It used to be much more commonplace, but then so did pay phones and drivers paying cash for fuel.

    I would suggest a UPS box. When you get a UPS box your address will read like a regular address as opposed to a regular PO box. Regular PO boxes don't work for many things. Some places won't ship to a PO box. You can't use a regular PO box as an address on many forms, etc.

    I even us my UPS address on my driver's license.

    Wow, I didn't know you can do this? I use a family's address for my CDL but have been wanting to find another option... Whats this cost you per month? I live in Illinois and in order to change my CDL from its current state ( Indiana ) I would have to retest everything all over again... Illinois is a pain in the ***...
