If I just pack up and head out there...

I just remembered that there is a small company that caters to rv ers for mail collection and forwarding. You can sign with them and they give you a Texas address. Check on the rv.net site. I'll look around and see if I can find something.

 

Good luck to you, my hubby did the same and is working non stop in Kenedy area. He had many dilemas with the DMV from DL to Haz-mat so be prepared for all sort of weirdo workers, as they all seem to have different methods. The smaller town DMV's will be the most confusing actually dealing myself with them for something basic is a issue. I would strongly recommend to use UPS mailbox as they have a physical address instead of P.O. Box. Plus they forward mail so in future wherever you end up you can keep it if wanted to.

Since you will hit the Eagle ford shale area 1st you should try it. It is spread out but so much calmer and if you look closer to San Antonio, much cheaper and FUN!! I just saw in paper they are hiring quite a few companies and have a job fair coming up,(not sure when). Best of luck.

 

I agree PO BOX is not the best answer. I think you have to have a physical address and show proof to get that set up in TX. You can't get a FedEx or UPS package delivered to a PO BOX. If you order some items online they will not ship to a PO BOX. You can sign up to have mail forwarded from a PO BOX but it is expensive, like $16/ month.

We made the mistake of getting a PO BOX in TX but got a private company (Mostly Mail) here in OK for our mail box. They text anytime a package arrives for us and they give us breaks or freebies when it comes to copies, faxes, etc.

 

Look up some companies, make some phone calls. Companies area always look for good drivers. And by calling (talking to them) you can get a feel for how they are. Listen to how they respond to your questions will tell alot about their attitude towards drivers.
Remember, if you don't ask... you always have a no. So ask.

 

On a high note! In a joking mood, as you travel don't pull into the Rest Stop and go around to the truck parking! You are not driving a truck yet, I wish you luck. I don't think you need to log a 30 min. break as you travel in your POV!

 

Taser,

You will be the third forum member from florida, that I know of, to start this journey.

Look forward to your updates.

Good Luck

 

Taser-Good luck to you and drive safe!

 

Sage travels.when you get to Houston check the north side off town there are motels along the freeway that are clean and cheap, without a lot of grasp going on. I used to stay at one for like 190/wk Bach about for years ago. Soon as I think if the name I'll message you.
