Okay, I'll have to check that out. Thanks! I'm asking 29,900

Sorry, I missed this. Yes I do still have the truck. email me at eric@roadwarriorstrucking.com. I will send you the info. Thanks

yes, it is for sale

Thank you

No, you don't have to have a cdl.

Thank you

Thank you

Hey James, it varies depending on the size of the RV and if you have a CDL or not. It can be anywhere from $1.60 to $2.30 a mile. Each company is different will have slightly different rates, but generally it is in this range. Real slow right now though, there isn't much chance to get into RV transport at this time.

@@rvhotshot6010 thanks for replying. I sold my truck a little over a year ago. I had a Freightliner Cascadia and dry van trailer. I had a dedicated route for about 5 years. I could see how transporting RVs would be a good way to go.

So sorry Ciial. I went through the orientation with Horizon the second week of this new year, and they had a load for everyone that went through. But, I haven't had a load since. All the RV manufacturers shut down the month of January, so there has been nothing. Horizon does have an opportunity to pick up "Reloads", but they have been very limited too. I wish you well my friend!

@@trailhunterusa Thank you for the up date. I'm glad that I didn't borrow money to keep leasing a truck. I went back to my old company for 12 years prior, wrenching for TA truck service. I've heard Horizon is also paying significantly less on loads compared to Dynamic, not sure if it's true? After I get caught back up in a couple months I think I'll try the RV transportation as a secondary job again

Where is Golf Port Mississippi??? Can't find that anywhere on a map.

@@davidbryant3532 Its not Golf Port. Its Gulf Port. Next to Biloxi.Miss.

@@haroldbowers4900 I am aware. I was being a smart ass responding to the idiot that called it golf Port....comprehension is key here.

Thank you Ray

Hey Kevin. The industry will be back. The industry is in a slow down right now, but I believe it will pick back up. If you are wanting to get into this business, yes, I would start saving for a down payment on a good hauling truck and all the accessories you will need. When the industry picks back up you will be ready. It could as early as this spring. And, I am still in the business for now. There is no loads right now though. The manufacturers shut down all of January.

Hey Carrie, I could and I don't doubt they are making good money, but they are on the road constantly. I'm not wanting to be on the road that much. If you get leased on with a company, they are going to want you to run all the time. full time. If you want to go on your own, then there is a high cost for insurance and all the DOT crap you have to deal with. And your right the truck probably want sell anytime soon. But that is okay.

Hey Wayne. Yes I still have it. I'm in Western KY. Send me an email at eric@roadwarriorstrucking.com. Thanks.

Thanks Dave. I am considering multi haul. Thanks for the knowledge

@@rvhotshot6010 You have a 3500 right? That will limit you on weight. But 3 campers is only what roughly 15 to 20 thousand pounds but don't forget the weight of the trailer. You will be just under over the max limits. A 4500 or 5500 would fit your needs. A 5500 with a Roadmaster with a trailer pulling a Hotshot load back close would be really good. I did in a big truck still di it from time to time but I have tarps, chains, four inch straps with two sets of ramps on a step deck. Good money when you can get a load back toward Indiana. Not so good sleeping in the back seat even if you coverted into a " sleeper". Then you have to have a class A CDL and even with hydraulic brakes you still have to have a Class A with restrictions. It's something to think about. But you can't pull the signs off and come back empty with a trailer and a 3500 with a flatbed and bumper weight you may not be able to do with a class 3 truck.

@@daveweed2765 3500 is correct. Looking into all my options. Appreciate the advise.

Do you still have the truck. An where’s it at. I’m in mass. I have a 42ft fifth wheel camper trailer. Looking to use it to tow trailer over the road. I’m am retired over the road truck driver.

Thanks! I really don't want to get out, but things have changed for me. I'll still be going until I sell the truck.

@@rvhotshot6010 how many miles on your ram????

Thank you Jim! Many blessings to you and yours as well!

Thank you!

Thanks Richard. It's been a tough year and holidays. I appreciate your thoughts. take care

Thank you MJ. IT's been a tough year and holiday season. I appreciate your thoughts. I will look into the Transporter forums. I don't really want to get rid of it. I love the business so much. You take care as well.

@@rvhotshot6010 You could always pick up a two or three car trailer (i.e. Kaufman's) to stay in the game. RV Transport may dry up, but there will always be vehicles to transport. You can get loads both ways, check it out if that may peak your interest. Cheers.

@@mjmohn yeah, I thought about that, but then I would have to get my own DOT number and deal with all that. Do you know anything about that?

Thanks for the update was wondering about you. I'm kinda in the same boat Eric, I'm retired and only want to work part-time. I'm wondering if it's even feasible to operate under my own authority without hustling more than I want to considering the overhead costs of insurance, trailer investment etc. regardless of doing cars with a wedge trailer or regular flatbed hotshot. On the other hand, having recently received my CDL-A at the local community college I'm thinking more in terms of just biting the bullet for awhile as a full-time company semi driver somewhere until I figure this out for myself. CDL is burning a hole in my pocket and I have a F350 DRW...in any case, all my best and if you decide to stay in it after-all or not after looking into your own DOT number and authority I'd be interested in your thoughts. I got the CDL for RV transport, but now I'm thinking more outside that box.

@@kr5841 I did some research on this prior to RV hauling. The cost of the DOT number would have made me go full time. You might try to find a freight company or car hauler that you can lease under. I'm not sure how they are with someone wanting to do this part time. I will continue to haul RV's until I sell my truck, if it sells. I will definitely get back into it when I fully retire. Good luck to you my friend

Thank you too!

I don't know where you heard they cut all their drivers. They are transitioning over to Horizon. I have orientation next week. Maybe some didn't get approved by Horizon or something.

Yes I am. Just hadn’t done any videos in a long while

Hey Jim, no, I just haven't run in a long while. I had some personal issues and then the market went dead. How about you?

@@rvhotshot6010 I too live in Ky. Was very busy until Sept. loads dried up so told dispatcher to give what there were to guys with kids, truck payment s etc. I am semi retired and don’t need the work. Have taken 3 since then Rates are down and fuel is up. Was hoping to get some FEMA loads but they haven’t shown up on board yet. Hope your personal issues are all settled.

@@jimprice8612 thanks Jim. I had a brother pass away then a close friend of mine. Caused me to reevaluate some things. I’m like you. I didn’t take loads so the guys making a living off this could get them. However, I am making a truck payment, so hoping things change soon, so I can get back out there

Sorry for your loss. It’s a shame it takes something like that for us to reevaluate things. The devil has a way of keeping us busy with things that in the end will mean nothing

@@jimprice8612 yep
