    Yep, get set up for having your bills emailed to you. Just about every bill except your rent can be paid online.

    Well, then have the wife take care of paying the bills until she goes on the road with you, and then you won't have much in the way of bills to deal with. Once you get rolling a bit, you may want to invest in a laptop for more than one reason.

    You can also set it up that your bills mortgage, electric, phone etc. are taken directly out of a bank account.

    It's a very good question. You want to protect your credit rating too. You should already know when the bills come up due. You can call the business and arrange payments or maybe direct deposit but that's tough for a truck driver. How about relatives? They could get the bills and then you could contact them. The important factor here is you're planning ahead and that's good. You might be able to pay some up front to make your bills all come due on the same date. It's worth a try but you'll never know until you contact the business. Just remember they want their money and most are willing to work with you to solve any problems.

    I think you can set up an automatic bill pay with some credit card, utilities etc.
