If I didn't have the wife and kids at home, the truck is exactly where I would live.
I have never understood guys that have houses and land and are single and have no intention of having family's, and they spend their lives on the road.
I know one guy right now that pays for 50 acres and a house while he's out a month at a time to come home for 3 days and go out again because he's bored sitting around already.
Like suggested above, put funds away for a hotel room so you can stay someplace now and then.
I'd use this to my advantage if it was me. when I knew I was heading to a place I wanted to check out. (near the Grand Canyon, The Black hills, or any of the other many vacation spots. I'd be requesting layover time, renting a room, a car, and doing some site seeing. YOu could have 3 to 4 days of vaction every month in a different spot, and still not spend what you would for a house, taxes, insurance, electric, heat, etc. And you'd get paid to get there, and paid to leave.
This is why when people ask me what I do for a living I simply use the age old line, "I'm a professional tourist!"
You can check out mailboxes etc, I believe you can get an address from them. You can't put a PO BOX On your DL you need a street address so you have to find a mail service that provides you with one. Also, Buy a nice Digital cam to have with you. Guys in the service carry cameras all the time when they travel, why drivers don't I will never understand!
BOL with your life in the truck. I have an address, but in reality, I live in my truck. I only visit the wife and kids. (26 days out, 4 days home on average a month)
