My wife (Dawn) and I (Tex) have changed careers as of February this year (2022). I left my Network job with The Department of Criminal Justice & All Saints Episcopal School, while Dawn left the Fort Worth School District to become RV Transporters.
We both do the Driveaway division for Horizon Transport. We will both drive a unit each and deliver them. After delivery, we will camp while on route to pick up the next two units. We camped in tents, yurts, & cabins. In some locations, we splurge and stay in hotels.
This is a fast pace to seeing places and yet we have visited some locations multiple times giving us the freedom to explore more unseen territories.
The Units we deliver are no more than a glorified tent for us to sleep in. We use none of the conveniences in it. We usually sleep on the couch, or the dinette drops into a full bed. There are times we just use our tents outside and enjoy the outdoors.

Safe travels, enjoy y’all cruise
Hi!!! Shane here. I love the videos.
I enjoyed driving too, you rarely have to deal with the stupid. Not counting other drivers but at shipping, received your time is limited. Following distance saves your bacon and it prevents dealing with the stupid public.
They saw nomadland it's survival not something to strive for. I want to be grid tied, water, power,food,stores, fishing, hunting.
Grass is greener... meaning one's desires my not meet one's reality ( expectations ). It's a metaphor... not literal.
Sorry to disagree. Are should I say, i have a bit of a different opinion on the subject. Your words " if you keep the same mentality - morals of what works for YOU everything will work " I say if you consider what is just, fair, respectable, acceptable for everyone... it will work out best for everyone. In your home you can be all about you... as selfish as you please you affect no one else. At work in pubic... your actions or lack of affects everyone around you... So my point is... one's self interest can and does affects others.. outside of one's home.
Much love from Missouri rest stop ❤️, I appreciate the trinkets yall gave us
Thank you and you guys deserve those trinkets and so much more for such a great rest stop. There are many rest stops in the USA, but when you walk into this rest stop and can tell it is kept clean vs just being cleaned. You know the crew comes to work to do a job they are proud of.
I Drove thousands of motorhomes pulling my own vehicle behind for years and I never had to pull into a scale house in all 49 states. I don't know why you have to.
As a home owner, you can drive any RV, But as a Comercial transporter we have DOT Requirements same as a truckdriver would. Including CDL Requirements for over 26000 pounds.
39 is Warm.
For some...
Looks like you're going up to me
Funny, in this tunnel, I was going down. This is the north side. Where the southbound goes up.
Tunnels are a slight hill so water never pools.
This is east river mountain tunnel. And north or south feel the same. One way you are going up and the other you are going down. I am about to post the other direction, they both feel like I am going down.
Edisto Beach has shells is just south Charleston SC
We ended up a Pawleys Island, and it was successful. But knowing Dawn, she will want to go there for the next trip.
What model it’s your Garmin
We use the Garmin RV1090 www.garmin.com/en-US/p/763101 Purchase through Techno RV TechnoRV (866) 324-7915 g.co/kgs/tf342Gb If IFTA is needed it can be updated with it. Other than that it is identical to the diesel garmin.
Just keep busy and you'll stay out of trouble 😂
I agree. Fun goes with trouble, but if you make responsible decisions, then the trouble disappears, and the fun stays.
Thanks for that Information.

As I said earlier, this video is awesome and I appreciate you being straight up and forward because those are pitfalls I have never heard of before lotta other similar channels to yours. Do not say these pitfalls that’s major I’ll probably come at one more time before the end of this video because I’m only 3/4 way through it good job.

The statement you just made about I’m not gonna be around my love ones and I’m gonna be cold and you know you’re honest about that. I agree with you 100% if you drive around America it changes everywhere you go from state to state county county I know, I’ve been in almost every state in the United States customs are different. Everything is different one thing I’ll tell you if you don’t have your lady on board and she’s sitting at home you’re gonna have problems I want to get in his business but I see that is my biggest problem, thank you. Great video.

Thanks. I thought there might be a grey area. Be safe
Thank you for the comments
People don’t like it, but there’s something called a “Rolling Reset” which allows a driver to keep driving 7 days a week. If you don’t like doing a 34, it’s an option.
ruclips.net/user/shortsChDB4Xgsby8?si=7bpjIBxfsJXK8faG
I thought you are in driveaway. Driveaway is different from tow away. I'm in driveaway and average between 50 to 65%. I'm curious how you come up with only 30%. What all do you include as expenses?
ruclips.net/user/shortsUmcegnIg5UQ?si=uj3hFdtU6JP2zAWG
I think i know the answer but after you drop your unit off and you have your vehicle with you, do you have to log your drive to your next pick up? You are technically in route towards a dispatch which would be considered business related but also one wouldn't log a flight to their next dispatch - at least i wouldn't lol.
ruclips.net/user/shortsrzSwRBYLMts?si=LhrHl_AWyR50WOen
Trip planning it's best to do it at an average 50 mph. And fuel stops give 18:04 that 30 minutes- minimum. If you need a 30 minute and or 10hr break, add that in and about 1 hours for bathroom breaks. Each time you pull off the road you lose momentum so your mph average drops. That's how I trip plan but I normally get to my destination earlier but that's the safest way and most trucking companies teach that. Im considering doing this. Do they have plenty of work right now?

Does your wife drive too? Or does Horizon allow a passenger, non driver?
Short answer, yes. If she is a driver, she can be with you on any load. If she is not a driver, she can be with you once a year. . ruclips.net/user/shortsWvJhksyn2XA?si=qYE9rXP8C478_23a

Awesome! Thank you! Sorry for the delay response! Save travels, sir
New subscriber here and new transporter in a couple of weeks…I like your attitude and love your videos..thank you for your efforts…be safe👍
Sorry for the delay response. Welcome to the profession. Thank you for the compliments.
Be careful in Memphis
I completely agree. Know your surroundings. Thanks for the comment
Is a cdl required
Sorry for the delay response. No CDL Required. But very helpful.
Wise words Tex. Stay safe out there.
Thank you, not sure if it means I'm wise or just sarcastic at it's best! LoL Thank you, enjoy life.
You speak the truth Tex! You are right. Christianity is all about serving others. To be a Christian is to be Christ-like. No offense taken. lol
Sorry for the Delay response. Much appreciated on the Christianity. Be safe and enjoy what life brings.
I saw your car at a Kentucky rest stop
Sorry we missed you. Be safe

Yes, they are. We like them for the ability to stay The Night and their quiet setting.

If you are driving in the passing lane with no one to your right. You are blocking the PASSING lane!!
HaHa 🤣
Most truck drivers are full of shit. I'm thinking no different from sny other transporters. Drive 8 hrs a day no reset, or 7.
Very informative. Didn't care for the cuss words since I had you on speaker and my children heard you.
Sorry about that. I'll be putting *PG18* on the first line of description for all my content to help. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. When a video is uploaded RUclips already asks if made for children and I choose no. If they had a way to mark *Language, *Adult Humor, and other tags. I think many would use them. I appreciate parents that do monitor their children listening. Thank you.
Gee, I wonder why 😂😂😂 Don't worry though, keep them protected and they become your Imaginary Friends who protect and guard you.
They provide a way to voice opinions, think out loud, and even prep for arguments. But for some reason, I still don't win when I argue with them either. Thanks for the comments.
Great information, I just subscribed to your channel
Thank you for the comment and We Appreciate you Subscribing
I've driven hotshot, box trucks and cargo vans nationwide... I miss the road and I want to get back on the road again. .. I own a 2007 FORD E-450 CAB AND CHASSIS DUALLY... IT HAS A FIFTH WHEEL, GOOSENECK TRAILER BALL AND BUMPER PULL HITCH.... I WAS TOLD BY 1 COMPANY THAT I NEED MY CDL BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS A E-450
With out a cdl you would be limited. F450's are usually 14k in weight, leaving 12k for the RV and If a Company would give you a chance. They would probably cut you off at 11 or 10k. You can use my link to ask a Horizon recruiter. Please use my 9677 ID number to refer me.
@dtnlivinglife6731 when you have minute to spare, can you tell me what a safe distance from the 5th wheel to the rear of your truck is ? I think I would have to remove my step bumper because it is 12" deep and almost 8' wide.. I think I would need to remove it for clearance... It's OK for my gooseneck trailer but I don't think 5th wheel rv has that much clearance
I will contact your company on Monday, I'm trying to fix some things around the house
@novavroomvroom3435 Good luck, and hope to see you around.
@novavroomvroom3435 I don't know this answer but I'll see what I can gather. I do driveaway mainly. And have not done a fifthwheel. The clearance is crucial on a turn. Let me see what I can gather.
I would be very grateful taking home $100k I'm not looking to become a millionaire I'm just happy to have a job.. Well I don't have a job yet but I'm applying to some rv delivery companies right now
You can use the Horizon link and my 9677 number as a referral
That’s a good way of helping others, thank you
Our pleasure! Thank you for the comment.
One of the biggest keys to success in my opinion is knowing the ins and outs of your equipment and taking care of your own maintenance and repairs.
I agree, knowing your equipment is knowing your abilities. Good point, thank you.

Thanks for the comments and nice channel.
Whats the new project?
The increases since 1980 are actually more, given that in 1980 and for several years after that, the RV industry was more spread out across the country versus mostly consolidated in Elkhart, Indiana as it is now.
Thank you for the info.
