CDL Residence

Hello again everyone,

Has anyone out there gone the route of selling their home or have decided not to rent, but rather, buy an RV for your full time residence outside of the truck? If so, I would love to hear about any pro's/cons when combined with the trucking lifestyle. I am looking at all options when it comes to cutting costs, as this well needed career change will be a bit of a salary cut for me for a few years, from what I've heard and read.

Why bother with a RV? if you decide to live out of the truck you're able to basically take a vacation on your companies dime. You can take your hometime in places you'd love to explore. In Bretts book he talked about Vegas, new orleans, and even taking in nascar races and concerts. If saving money is your goal if you feel the new to get out of the truck just get a nice hotel for a night or 2.

My other question regarding the topic, I know you need a physical address to get the CDL , but do I need it for any other reason after I get my CDL or can I just open a PO Box and lose the physical address?

For $$$$$$ a month you can use mine. I'll even forward your mail to you, or hold it for you, which ever you prefer?

Look into getting a mail box with UPS.

Then you've got

#1 A PO Box to get your mail

#2 A physical street address

Those mailbox plus type stores will also give you an actual street address.

We have a ups po box because our mail kept getting lost. But more importantly we got the ups address to keep our daughter in sane private school she has attended since age two. Unfortunately and fortunately this will be her last year there. It's fortunate being it will be the last year we spend $12,000 for her to learn finger painting, her shapes colors, and basic writing skills. The unfortunate part is we are looking at the next school for her to attend which is extremely time consuming

I could totally be wrong (it happens on occasion) but I thought there was a similar thread I saw where it was actually a big deal to have a real home address for tax purposes / tracking purposes, etc. I know a lot of ppl here use a friend or relative's address.

Would love to hear more insight into this topic! =)

If not mistaken, I think Rainy lives out of her truck. And her home state of NJ. She could tell you more about that I. But it something I have been tolling about also. Do I keep my apartment or just live out of my truck like she does. I know she pampers herself a lot. LOL. I still don't know if you can claim the tax deductions without a physical address or not. I like my little apt. But if I could save the $800 a month, that would be great also.

The taxes are definitely something to consider. That's why I need to hear ALL the pros and cons! =)
