    also if you get a po box at the terminal can u also use the terminal as your home address and just keep a mo. license,like if i gave up my place of residence?

    No you can't. The boxes numbers do not register as a legal place of residency in the MO DMV database. The boxes are simply to be used as a "mailing address". Much like a Mailboxes etc. Or UPS store that provides the same service.

    Also, Prime is very keen to their own address as it is the same minus the box number, and will not allow you to keep it as anything other than a mailing address in their files. I personally have my permanent address on file in WA, and my Prime mailbox as one of my mailing address. Taxes, liscense, passport, investments, 401k are all things addressed to my WA home.

    Do not give up a legal residence. Can't claim Per Diem if you do.

    Oh and they charge $1.25 per week.

    The Pittston terminal does not have PO boxes. The terminal is currently undergoing substantial renovation, and to the best of my knowledge there's been no mention whether or not boxes will be available at the expanded facility.

    It would be great to get PO Boxes in SLC when they renovate it.

    Springfield mail boxes rent for $1.25/week. Or, at least, they did when I was there. Pittston did not have mail boxes. But, Pittston had a really good little deli going. Yummy lasagna.

    And say "hi" to Mike in the Pittston shop from that girl who had the dark blue Cascadia with all the aluminum polished (69381) and the brown and white dog riding with.

    Miss those guys up there. They took good care of me.

    You know where the showers and laundry room is in SLC Terminal?

    Well that is where the PO boxes used to be... Before they renovated.

    I don't imagine a full scale renovation of SLC like Pittston. You've already seen the work in progress over the last three years. Showers, laundry and company store are all new. Anything else in the works probably falls into a different area of improvement.
