anywhere I can cash a paycheck on the road?

GPS is good when it is designed for trucks your operating, but even with trucks they should still be checked. I use mine just for the last few miles of the trip where you are in the city.

Walmart will cash up to a $1000 for $3.

 

These days there is little interest to be made, especially for a small company. If there are any other red flags, I would be most concerned about whether my employer had sufficient funds to meet payroll if everyone cashed their checks immediately. (Unfortunately, I speak from experience...)

 

I have the RM TND-720 GPS. The map in the GPS is an electronic copy of the paper RM atlas (which I also have in the truck), and it is updated more frequently than the paper copy. I use the GPS as my primary routing tool, backed up by google maps and satellite view at the shipper and receiver. I know how to tweak the GPS settings and add waypoints to get the routing that I want if I feel that the default GPS routing is not the most efficient. It is rare that the RM GPS will route me through an illegal truck route or low clearance, but it has happened. More often than not, it will tell me that a route is not truck legal when in actuality it is.

As for cashing checks, I simply opened an account at PNC Bank since they have branches everywhere that I go. I'm not a fan of big banks, but since I'm always traveling it's something that I'm forced to consider.

 

An alternative is to use a Credit Union that participates in the national credit union network. You can tell by this logo:



Unfortunately very few have truck parking...

 

I had 39 cents in my pocket, and a 900.00 plus check. I bought 100 gallons, Cashed my check, & took a shower. Slept, then left. Normal day.

 

Sorry if I am a little confused...if you are going into the office to get your checks isn't there a local bank you can open an account at to cash your check?

 

If a company does not have direct deposit, run! he's paying you now but wait two months! thats a red flag!
