    Prepass broke new one came in, also new ifta stickers. If I know where I'm gonna be for the weekend could my wife overnight the package to the truckstop for me?

    There’s been some discussion about it below. The most practical way I have found is using any UPS store. There are plenty all over the nation. They charge about $5 per package. There are also some free options like UPS customer centers, but by far UPS stores have a larger presence. Whenever you use a UPS store, you want to add next to your full name: (ATTN: UPS Store). Otherwise, your package may end up getting returned.

    Yes we do that all the time. First talk to the manager of the truck stop and 99% of the time they say no problem.

    And do be there when the mail comes in at a truckstop.

    I have a shipping store in Jacksonville that takes mail for me now and then for a small fee. Particularly if I don't know who the hell I am ordering from. It saves the spam that buries them later.

    Yes I have done it, just make sure your wife uses a sharpie and writes in LARGE WORDS on BOTH sides. HOLD FOR DRIVER (your name). Then they be there when ups/fedex/usps whoever you use comes in. Also get the tracking number so you can watch it move.
