    Yes , but our dedicated trailers pay round trip . All of the loads out of our Owensboro terminal are dedicated . Some loads out of Calvert City are dedicated . If not we get $.40 a mile for deadhead .

    That is yours.

    I know here, the driver gets screwed on the deadhead for free.

    I am quite satisfied with the funds I generate. However, with the price of fuel, it has become tighter than normal.

    I've seen the FSC for RV transport is not up to par and is for loaded miles only . I've seen several RV haulers run together then have a towbar on one truck .

    That kind of towing is really hard on the vehicle being towed.

    There is no doubt that you have a sour tone in your throat on this. However, maybe it was not your cup of tea.

    My company has a very good program.

    The old company, which you also worked at, is very good at screwing the driver.

    Its just like everything else in life, what works for some dos not work for others, I know some RV transporters that do pretty good, and others that hate it. as long as your happy with it that's whats matters right? as for me I cant see making a decent living doing it. but that's just me.

    Different things work for different people . Things didn't work so well for you with a carrier . It all depends on connecting with the right people .

    If your company hired in my area, I would consider looking into it.

    I have a clean MVR and Clean CSA as well.

    What is the average line haul rate for RV's ??? I was visiting with a RV hauler out of Indiana at a truck stop a while back and he stated $1.20 per mile (I think, it was a couple months ago).

    That's been the rate for years . That is loaded miles . You rarely get a return load . I believe the $1.20 includes the fuel surcharge .
