    I was wondering how you single OTR drivers pay your monthly bills while out on the road for weeks at a time? Do you use bill pay from your bank? What do you do about your mail? Do you rent a post office box and change your mailing address or have the post office hold your mail until you are on hometime?

    My last few years on the road I did not keep a residence. I lived in my truck. I had 3 bills. Cell phone, car insurance and my registration on my pickup. My only monthly bill was my AT&T cell phone bill that I paid over the phone of at the kiosk at a retail store and sometimes put 3 or 4 hundred in as a credit.
