I am definitely leaning towards flatbed right now, but can’t say I’ve made up my mind for sure. Tarping and strapping sounds like it’s kind of fun to me!
WooHoo!

I’d like to make $75,000 my first year, 85,000 the second, and nothing less than 110,000 if I get two years with a clean record. Not too particular on how I achieve that, but I don’t want to work nights often.

If you want adventure, get your passport and go look into Anderson Trucking Service out of StCloud Minnesota. They haul everything and have multi axle trailers. If you can run Canada, you will make serious bank.Chi Town Steers, MACK E-6 and Deere hunter Thank this.

lol....Lots of night driving with reefers, from my experience. That's why reefer driving is my favorite; coast-to-coast pulling reefers.

Yes, it is that easy.
Folks who full time RV have been doing it for years. SD, TX are the big two. FL is third. First two are the easiest to deal with. For SD it's as simple as find a Mailbox Etc. or other mail forwarding company. @Chinatown can probably give you some other companies.
TX requires a street address but it's easily obtainable through different means. Escapee's RV Club is the one full time RV'ers go with. They will let you use their address, and help you get set up properly with the state. You can find more info on their website.* You don't need to be in a RV to use their service, I believe. I could be wrong.
As others have said though, I'd worry about it down the road, once your settled into trucking. Give you time to be sure of where you want your "home state" to be.
*This could have changed, it's been 2 or so years since I last looked. Consult their site for the most up to date info.
I know plenty of folks who've done this who full time RV, and I know Chinatown has recommended this to other drivers over the years. Keep us updated if you go this route, it might help other drivers after you!
Good luck!

"Man plans, and God laughs." - old Yiddish proverb.
Nobody intends to start a trucking career only to wash out in a few months, yet that's what happens more often than not. Get off to a good start, and once you're established and decide whether this is really for you, you can worry about things like state of residence.Sirscrapntruckalot, Chi Town Steers, Suspect Zero and 2 others Thank this. -
