    Does the post office hold your mail or is a po box the best option if you are OTR, especially since the career of burgulary seems to be becoming a popular choice around here.

    Get a big po box and they'll cram it so full of junk mail you'll be spending an hour going through it. They'll leave a yellow slip if it's full telling you to come and get the rest.

    I never had to worry about mail. I had all my bills and so forth sent to me by email and either had autopay or just went online and paid them while on the road.

    My best advice is to get a PO BOX in a trustworthy's friend/family relatives town, and let them hold your mail for you, because after your PO Box is full for a certain amount of time they will return your first class mail as undeliverable, and throw away your junk mail.

    I do what Kev does also. Plus I have a P.O. Box that has a street address. Some states require a physical address to hold a CDL. They won"t accept a P.O. Box.

    UPS Store. Address shows up as a regular address so people think that I actually live at that location. The nice young college girls always hold my Amazon packages for me to pick up there too. PO Box is old school.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Yeah, PO Box is also half as much as UPS store.

    If the Postmaster is aware of your work situation, they will hold all of your mail for you, even after you have overflowed a large PO box. They had almost a whole tub for me once, in addition to the contents of the box.
