live in my truck?

You don't have a trusted friend or family member that would allow you to use their address? How about using your work address?

 

Most often drivers in your situation would rent a P.O. Box, or equivalent from the post office or UPS Store, if they don't use a friend or family member's home as their mail drop.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you have no home you can't legally take the IRS meal & incidental deduction since you are never away from your home. The P.O. box may be risky since it's clear you aren't living in the Post Office parking lot.

 

Why don't you do what full time RVers do. Sign up with a mail forwarding business. You use their physical address as your own. There's one located in Livingston, TX. You may have to join the Escapees RV club to use it. I'm sure there are others though. Do a search on line.

 

Use your home terminal as your home address, in conjunction with a PO Box. Discuss it with your terminal manager to make sure it is ok. You would sure think a guy putting as many miles as you are would have no trouble getting permission to do so...

 

They certainly won't mail your license to a post office box. I don't know if you can use it on your license or not.

But to reiterate what another posted on here, how about using your employers address as a mailing address. Check with them first, though.

I know of one instance where a driver bought an old travel trailer, and parked it on his company's property, with their permission. He was able to qualify for the per diem as this was actually his residence on the rare occasions he was not on the road.

I think it would be a rare company that would allow this, but it sure doesn't hurt to ask.

 

California will allow your PO Box on your CDL, and it will be mailed to the PO Box. But they want your residence address on file.
