    Anybody got any info on RV Transporting? I'm thinking about going into this business and get out of the big trucks. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

    Im not 100% sure but what I have heard you would have to pay for the fuel also.Also your not allow to sleep in them either,but I think it depends on the compay rules.I was looking into it my self but what I dont like about is you have to pay for the fuel your self,no refund and you can not sleep in them unless you have your own sleeping bag but you would have to sleep on the floor I guest.

    Actually, I was talking about buying a dually and pulling trailers, not driving motor homes.

    Not much RV business right now, hence, not much to pull around. Pays one way!! Deadhead back !! Been there, done that, it's dead right now.....sorry.

    Business is picking up quite a bit. I deliver to a lot of the RV factories in Elkhart County, Indiana, There are a few signs advertising companies looking for 1 tons to deliver RV's.

    RV transporting is more for retired folks than for people trying to make a living.

    Bubba,
    Don't get wrong, I did good doing it, but the economy was booming at the time. I delivered any and everything thinkable. Prevost buses, Immigration buses to south texas(not fun), new and used big trucks, UPS vehicles, etc. I had a small p-u truck that I towed behind most vehicles, for getting to the next job. Check it out, if there's enough to keep you busy, go for it.

    Starfleet of Middlebury, IN (Along US 20) is the one I see pulling them the most, most are pulled with dually pickups, I hardly ever see the big coaches being driven, if you do, you can't tell it from a traveler. Starfleet has a sign up with a phone number for recruiting, I don't recall the number. I found info searching Starfleet RV transport.
