Electric field inside a conductor

Hello, I was curious, why is that for an electric field to be zero, the conductor must be in static equilibrium, but when charges are moving, the electric field is nonzero?

Is "support force" a "true force"? it seems incompatibe with F=ma

For example if a box is sitting on a table, not moving, it is said that the table exerts a support force on the box. But the box and the table are both inertial right? so if F = ma (force = mass x...
