My wife and I are considering doing this full time to speed up our retirement. Except we will be purchasing a class 8 truck and doing the lowboy or flatbed hauling of multiple trailers and then transporting cars for a backhaul. And then we will only work 8 months out of the year and take the winters off. Right now we have narrowed our companies to either Synergy transport, Indiana transport or, Bennett. Ive been on the road long enough doing the winter driving here out west. Good luck to you all.
The information y’all gave was really helpful. I’m all new at this. I wanna start doing doing that but I am a convicted felon probably 15 years ago maybe longer so now it’s got me second-guessing because I would really love to give this a shot.
Hey Thanks! I ( Cheryll) did the same thing! Lol! 100s of hours of watching videos!🙄 But, I learned so much...thanks to all the rv youtubers out there! We start orientation tomorrow! Yeehaw! Stay tuned for more videos coming soon!
Just found your channel and subbed! I use to transport horse trailers back in the 90s and now that I'm an empty nester, I'm looking at getting back in the business.
Hey!!! Thank you for watching and subscribing!!! If you have any questions at all feel free to PM us! Hope to see you out there sometime in the future!
Thanks guys!! I've been Following Fair Winds and Following Seas and High Mileage Helper. You guys are so entertaining and the info in this video is helpful, thank you!!! I just ordered a Silverado 3500, fortunately paying cash, built to what I've learned from the 3 of you, thank you. The info on this video added more info that the other 2 left out as my wife will be with me as well. Thanks so so much. I will start applying as soon as I have my truck set up.
Hey! Man, that's awesome! Thank you for the great compliment! There are alot of quirks and advantages to team Driving. Like how to log. How many hours in a shift y'all can drive. Sleeping at truckstops in the back of the truck. We hope to do a video about that in a few weeks, so stay tuned. Also, if you have any questions, feel free to ask..it may take me a few to get back to you, but, I try to answer all questions. Wishing ya'll the best!
thanks for your military service . funny story those triangles swivel at the bottom to keep from falling over well a swifty truck was broke down on the side of the road as i drove past he had bottles and other debris to prop up those triangles .
Hey I am located in tri cities TN I noticed that you guys are somewhere close...I'm interested doing the RV transport my self...would like to meet up with you and discuss more.
Hey, we are out on the road hauling campers. Can't believe it's been 3 years since we made that video! Weare hardly ever home in East TN now, bit, if you'd like to talk, private message us through Instagram @TransportBandits and we can speak over the phone!

A good way to start a maintenance account is to take so much cents per mile per load. For example the older your truck the more you need to put in. Such as 12-15 cent per mile per load. The newer the truck the less if you choose.
@@TransportBandits I'm looking at Horizon and Synergy. Synergy's website says there is a bed height restriction of 59". My F250 is like 61". I see you guys are driving a Ford is that something they really look at? Thanks stay safe out there.
Thanks for the info. I'm looking to get into this industry but want to start out in drive-away division first. Will I be able to stay busy and make good money in the drive-away division? Any adivce or information regarding drive-away would be much appreciated..thanks!
I will be completely honest with you. Unless you have a towable car or really good at the expenses for how you will find your way back to Goshen, Indiana. The rates for driveaway are not good for a stand alone driver, towaway is much more profitable. ( you get paid twice as much per mile as most driveaway units pay. Me and Jeff do very well with it , because I just hop in the truck with Jeff after I've made my delivery of the diveaway unit. Driveaway unit take Gasoline, not Diesel so you will not get any fuel discounts. All the companies only give discounts for diesel fuel. Rates right now run about $1.00 per mile for non CDL driveaway units. You can figure at least 1/3 of your gross will be for fuel. Then take out your expenses for your return trip. The RV industry ( just about all companies) right now, is on a hiring freeze until about February. But, you can call and check each company. Driveaway is very easy, if you can watch your expenses for your return trip , you will do good. If you can get a truck and do towaway you will make twice as much per trip. I hope I have not discouraged you, but, it is a tough time in the Industry right now, almost no loads on any companies load boards.. all the companies. We are hoping things will pick up after the new year. Hope some of this info will be of help to you. Thanks for watching and commenting on our videos!
@@TransportBandits Thanks for information and for your honesty, greatly appreciated. I was actually planning on getting a tow car and maybe even working for a few transport companies to better my chances of getting back hauls. I'm not sure but I'm thinking maybe the reason towaway pays more is because of the maintenance factor? Maintenance for a small tow car would be far less than for a 1 ton truck, plus the fuel cost would be cheaper for a smaller car as well so it's kind of a wash in a way. Hopefully things will start picking up soon for the industry because I think I would enjoy this kind of work. Thanks again:)
Smart plan! A tow car is the way to go! And signing on to multiple companies would be very beneficial for you! Good luck with everything!! If you put in an application for Synergy, please consider putting " Transport Bandits" down in the referall box on the application!
@@TransportBandits Okay yes I'll definitely remember to put Transport Bandits down as my referral. So let me get this straight, there is absolutely nothing right now on the load board for drive-away? Do you think it will start to pick back up in the early Spring maybe?
Oh let me be more clear on what I said, sorry I was not... right now there are 10 loads on our driveaway board... earlier this week we had about 20.. but, there has been practically no loads on our towaway board for the last 2 months.
I loved you video for requirements. Question I have is... I take it that you both pull RV's. Just wondering do you make or can you make enough money doing that? I looking at doing the RV transport I was an owner operator for almost 20 years but got in the fire service and have been a FF\Medic for 23 years the gave up my CDL A' in 2017 ( what a dummmmy ). SO I guess my #1 question is can I mack about the same money as I did as a Owner Operator? Thanks
that is a completely objective question, being as there are so many factors that weigh in on what you need to make. your debt is the biggest factor. truck payments, etc. ask yourself what do you need to make in a week/ a month/ etc.. then contact us through private message with your phone number and wed love to chat out the industry. look us up on Facebook "Cheryll Arnold" or instagram @transport_bandits or email me at cheryllarnold1967@gmail.com
Hey!!! That's fantastic! Put "Transport Bandits" down as your referral! Contact me with your name and number! We talk with you if you want! cheryllarnold1967@gmail.com
I watched some of your videos. Can you make a good living with only doing the motorized rv? I know alot of it will depend on transportation back to get the next. But can you give me any insight
I would have to say no. Not unless you have a means of free transportation back to Indiana. Motorized rates are terrible. We knew several people who tried it and couldn't make much profit. basically you will end up making just enough to cover all your expenses. No profit in it much, unless you can, mabey, tow a small, D.O.T. compliant car behind the unit or team up with someone who is running the same direction with a truck to bring you back. You are responsible for your own fuel, and at the rates, you'd have to be very cautious on where to purchase the cheapest gas along your route. Just being straight with you.
Hello and thank you for this video. This video has brought a lot of things to my attention. Is it possible that you can do a video on, how you would log your trip? Do you use E-log or ELD?
Yes! I plan too in the future...when I get caught up a bit...in the mean time, if you have any questions, feel free to message me. ( By the way, we use paper logs)
Im a Army veteran, but Semper Fi to you. Salute, and great video. This is definitely a great heads up for many who will be starting out in this industry, including myself. See ya on the open road.
Thank you for watching. And thank you for your service sir! Hope to catch you on the road too. A great group to join for all kinds of info on facebook is RV Transporters Group
Nice video guys I had a question for you I have a 2003 Ford F2 50 diesel 6.0 with only 125,000 miles do you know of a company that will allow this truck to be used
We don't know for sure if Synergy allows for that older model but, I do know that they may make exceptions if the truck is in really good running and looking condition. It's best to give the recruiter a call to verify.
Most companies require You to have 6 month experience.. you can get that by driving for Uber, or door dash.. 😆..don't ask me why they say they count that.
You can haul any CDL camper The heavier fifth wheels usually) or any non cdl load. CDL loads are going for 2.23 per mile most loads, some are higher) Right now, companies are on a hiring freeze. But, since you are CDL..( Synergy has alot of loads that require CDL right now and may be hiring) if you end up applying at Synergy, please put Transport Bandits in the referal box on the application! We could get a bonus after your first 5000 loaded miles! Let us know if you do!
We'd be glad to talk with you about Synergy... Just private message us through our Instagram at www.instagram/transport_bandits.com and we'll exchange numbers!
Contact us for info if you want! cheryllarnold1967@gmail.com We'll exchange numbers if you have any questions.. Also, if you end up putting in an application, please put Transport Bandits down in the referral box and let us know! We'll help you out!
Are you guys going to be team drivers, with one driving and one using sleeping birth, I thought you needed a CDL to do that. You said in your first video you were having a DOT sleeper added to your truck. Any info you can add would be great.
Yes. We will be team drivers when we use the Ford F350 with the Woodhouse Sleeper Berth install. We can keep the wheels rolling 24 hours except for the break times. You do not need CDL if you get the WOODHOUSE sleeper. It is the only one D.O.T. approved for pickups. However, in our last video, we cannot use that truck..right now, didn't have time to fix it. So we will be driving the Ram( where we installed a bed , but will still have to stop for our 10 hour rest. But, we ARE signed up for driveways too. So Jeff will drive the Ram, for now, and I will do driveaways ( or vice versa) going the same direction or area. (Twice the money, can't go wrong there!) We will have the sleeper berth ford, when we can get it fixed, and decide what to do from there. Hope this helps!
@@TransportBandits Also wouldn't mind picking your mind about hot shot or RV transport. I am looking into doing that. Videos are awesome but I am one of those people that do better with actually talking to people in that industry. I am currently a master mechanic and am just tired of turning wrenches.
Hey, sorry for the delayed response, been motorcycle camping for the past week. We are with Synergy, so I don't know too much about other companies, we have been happy with Synergy so far.
You mentioned sending your company a copy of your truck registration showing 26,000 lbs. mine is a 2019 F350 Superduty, but had an upgrades GCWR to 28,700. With GVWR of 11,700. Do know if that’s going to require me to have a CDL? Or any I restricted to trailers with CVWR of 16000 lbs (28700 - 11,700 = 16,000)?
No matter what your truck says. It's D.O.T. regulations that you can only haul up to 26,000 lbs combined weight without a CDL. This is where having a CDL would greatly improve your load possibilities.
Hey..lookup SYNERGY RV TRANSPORT online and fill out the application! Be sure to put Jeff Arnold down as a referral please! The online app and a phone call to our recruiter will answer everything!
We have a Reece Fifth wheel hitch and we got a Husky trailer ball hitch with the strongest one they make. Then, we are required for a weight distribution hitch, which
Hi! Thanks for watching! We use a Reece Fifth Wheel hitch and a Husky trailer hitch with the ball ( rated at the strongest one they make) The Husky weight distribution hitch is required by our company. Which is NOT a sway bar.. you will not use a sway bar. Only a weight distribution hitch/bars.
@@TransportBandits Nah, maybe only for the money. Otherwise you've got your own beauty and she's got hers. On top of that, you've got _rocking_ hair and those cool little hats 😉
1 whole day of class going over everything you need to know about how to hook up, transport, pay, log, and deliver etc. Then 1/2 day for your truck inspection, getting your plaquards, plates, Comdata cards and your 1 st load.
you can only sign on with more than 1 company if you are a motorized ( meaning drive-away) where you are just a driver for motorized units-you do not haul rvs with your own truck. You can only lease on with your truck to one company.. because that company essentially runs the insurance and lease agreement on your particular truck. if you have 2 trucks, i think it would be possible.
@@Teeg60 We had a tough decision who to go with. Horizon was a big contender, considering they have a big nice truckers lounge, probably the most loads....but, we also know, we didn't want to be just another driver #. We are taking this on as a long term business, not just a job. So, we chose SYNERGY because his they spoke with us and it felt more like a family/team atmosphere. We have been in our own business for 30 years working with promoters and the public and know what it means to have a more personal connection with both. Therefore, we felt, for us anyway, Synergy, was the better fit. Who pays more, who has most loads, do they have a load board you can look at, toll reimbursement, and can you self dispatch are always some of the best questions when considering a company. But, remember, developing a good relationship with your dispatcher will probably be the most important pro when it comes down to it. Good luck with whoever you choose, They all have their pros and cons. Figure out what is important to you. Thank you and have a happy new year!
@@TransportBandits Exactly. We were having a hard time figuring out who to lease on to when we make the jump. From 23 years in the oilfield to 6 years working on the the Railroad I’ve learned that the smaller companies are better.
"No rubber glove" for the DOT physical??? She (the physical giver) grabbed my junk (for longer than what my wife was comfortable with)... I didn't really mind
Are you going with Synergy? If so, please put "Transport Bandits " down as your referal on your application please! Then let us know your becoming part of the team! We love this, but, the industry is tough right now, not many loads. High fuel and lowered rates mean running longer and harder. Good luck with everything!
@@TransportBandits I’ve been looking at wave I live up here in the northwest in Idaho and from what I gather they probably do the most freight up here but I’m open for suggestions

Hey, if you want, private message us through FB under Cheryll Arnold. We'll give you our truck number so we can talk!
dd214 is your discharge from military
Yes.
My husband and I are looking into starting non cdl transporting. Do y'all have a recommendation on transport company?
Hey, sorry for the delayed response, been motorcycle camping for the past week. We are with Synergy, so I don't know too much about other companies, we have been happy with Synergy so far.
You mentioned sending your company a copy of your truck registration showing 26,000 lbs. mine is a 2019 F350 Superduty, but had an upgrades GCWR to 28,700. With GVWR of 11,700. Do know if that’s going to require me to have a CDL? Or any I restricted to trailers with CVWR of 16000 lbs (28700 - 11,700 = 16,000)?
No matter what your truck says. It's D.O.T. regulations that you can only haul up to 26,000 lbs combined weight without a CDL. This is where having a CDL would greatly improve your load possibilities.
Good night I have a car transport company with all the papers ready, how can I transport RV
Hey..lookup SYNERGY RV TRANSPORT online and fill out the application! Be sure to put Jeff Arnold down as a referral please! The online app and a phone call to our recruiter will answer everything!
Got a question what hitch do you guys recommend and do you guys use the sway bars
We have a Reece Fifth wheel hitch and we got a Husky trailer ball hitch with the strongest one they make. Then, we are required for a weight distribution hitch, which
Hi! Thanks for watching! We use a Reece Fifth Wheel hitch and a Husky trailer hitch with the ball ( rated at the strongest one they make)
The Husky weight distribution hitch is required by our company. Which is NOT a sway bar.. you will not use a sway bar. Only a weight distribution hitch/bars.
Thank you I’ve been looking at these new shocker air ride hitches and was wondering if anyone has tried them out
Don't, know anything about them.. B&W is about the best you can go with...besides a Gen-Y
@@TransportBandits ten4 guys was just wondering thanks for the info y’all still having fun I guess
Damm cool 👌👍🍻🇦🇷
😳 for a second I thought she was Edie Falco 😂😍
I WISH!!😂😂🥰🥰
I WISH!😂😂🥰🥰
@@TransportBandits Nah, maybe only for the money. Otherwise you've got your own beauty and she's got hers. On top of that, you've got _rocking_ hair and those cool little hats 😉
What is orientation about what happens ?
1 whole day of class going over everything you need to know about how to hook up, transport, pay, log, and deliver etc. Then 1/2 day for your truck inspection, getting your plaquards, plates, Comdata cards and your 1 st load.
I looked at RV transport but I have no desire to go to Indiana.
Lol!!!!!!
How long does it to take to transfer money to a checking account from the com data card
Usually give it 2 days. Unless it's the weekend or holiday.
Is there some reason we can't go with more than one company to ensure we stay busy with our choice of routes?
you can only sign on with more than 1 company if you are a motorized ( meaning drive-away) where you are just a driver for motorized units-you do not haul rvs with your own truck. You can only lease on with your truck to one company.. because that company essentially runs the insurance and lease agreement on your particular truck. if you have 2 trucks, i think it would be possible.
New here, What company you with that accepts 500k unladen?
SYNERGY

Jeff says Thank You Brother! Ooh Rah!
@@TransportBandits Ooh Rah I'm trying to break into the industry so thank you very much for the tips.
Your welcome. Thank you for watching our videos!!
What company has a 3 year dui requirement mine is almost 5 seems impossible to get someone to hire me I understand but still
Synergy has 3 year requirement.
And, Thank you so much for watching!
Very informative and appreciated!! Can you mention who you signed on with?
I'm looking to apply to Horizon, Synergy, Indiana, Starfleet and Bennett.
Hello Teeg60, thank you so much for watching! We will be signing on with Synergy on Jan 5th. The date of our Orientation.
@@TransportBandits
That's right you told me that during a different video and I've talked to Jeremy there. Good pic and good luck!!
PS.......did you try Horizon as they seem to be the BIG one?
@@Teeg60 We had a tough decision who to go with. Horizon was a big contender, considering they have a big nice truckers lounge, probably the most loads....but, we also know, we didn't want to be just another driver #. We are taking this on as a long term business, not just a job. So, we chose SYNERGY because his they spoke with us and it felt more like a family/team atmosphere. We have been in our own business for 30 years working with promoters and the public and know what it means to have a more personal connection with both.
Therefore, we felt, for us anyway, Synergy, was the better fit.
Who pays more, who has most loads, do they have a load board you can look at, toll reimbursement, and can you self dispatch are always some of the best questions when considering a company. But, remember, developing a good relationship with your dispatcher will probably be the most important pro when it comes down to it.
Good luck with whoever you choose, They all have their pros and cons. Figure out what is important to you. Thank you and have a happy new year!
@@TransportBandits Exactly. We were having a hard time figuring out who to lease on to when we make the jump. From 23 years in the oilfield to 6 years working on the the Railroad I’ve learned that the smaller companies are better.
Cheers to the smoking lips. That shit is funny.
Hello Jason! Hot lips here! Lol! Thanks for watching! That's my man! 😆😆😆
"No rubber glove" for the DOT physical??? She (the physical giver) grabbed my junk (for longer than what my wife was comfortable with)... I didn't really mind
😂😂😂😂🤠🤠
Can someone use a 1 ton truck for rev transporting?
Of course! Ours is a 1 ton!
Are you making any money
We are.
@@TransportBandits I’m going to try it out in March
Are you going with Synergy? If so, please put "Transport Bandits " down as your referal on your application please! Then let us know your becoming part of the team! We love this, but, the industry is tough right now, not many loads. High fuel and lowered rates mean running longer and harder. Good luck with everything!
@@TransportBandits I’ve been looking at wave I live up here in the northwest in Idaho and from what I gather they probably do the most freight up here but I’m open for suggestions
The first thing you need is a total denial of mathematics 😁
🤣🤣🤣yep...I can just play the "dumb blonde"..oh wait...did I say play?🤣
