I'm leaving for orientation on Monday yay! I didn't even think about this over the past few years I wanted to be a long haul trucker though. I vape and buy stupid random stuff offline mostly because everything is cheaper. If im never home how am I suppost to get packages delivered? Will I be able to predict where I will be a week from now? if so I could send it to a local post office or get a hotel room and send it there?
How can i get mail and packages while living OTR?

Unless you're dedicated, your route is unpredictable. I order online a lot too but it gets ship to my house.

I ship to truckstops, used to do that when I was on the road. An alternative is using FedEx centers but sometimes the parking with a trailer is difficult.
Keepitzenn Thanks this. -
I rented a mailbox at a local UPS Store. About $15 a month, they hold all my packages for me (they email when I get one) and I can pick them up when I get back to town.

I just forgot about them since you live in a truck anyways lol

Even being OTR you have to have a legal residence, which means a mailing address.
You would send the stuff there and pick it up on your next home time. -
I always used suite instead of po box etc. No worries

I shipped nothing. It went into the trailer or side box and came home that way.
You can never ever know where you will be a week from now. Unless you have someone at home to get those packages off the porch (And sign for them...) they will have a chance of being lost.
You will want to think twice about that smoking. Once you get into the intermountainw west at 14,000 feet you will probably suffer oxygen loss to a point of mountain sickness or worse. Smoking needs to stop. I have. You can too.
Good luck! -
Oh, please.
