There are tons of places that you can wire money to within probably 50 miles of most any populated place in the USA. Walmarts, Dollar Generals, convenience stores, grocery stores, Walgreens, truck stops, etc. Sure you may have to ride up to a half day off route, but there are tons of places if you look.
Additionally, you can go to almost any bank (does not have to be your bank) and have money wired there of which even the smallest towns there is a bank.
The catch is there is usually a $6+ fee and the limit is frequently $300 in smaller locations. I think the bank fees may be higher but then you can also send larger amounts.
