    Good morning,

    I'm doing research on getting into doing RV Transport and I would like to know what expenses would be for using a F350 dully on a monthly and yearly scale.

    Also would like know what company or companies would be the best to work for or is there any way to into the RV manufacturers and work straight from them without the middle man?

    Thanks ahead of time for you help..

    Most people with the 1 tons do "ok", not great money.
    Almost all the companies raised their rates in the last year, they couldn't get anyone to sign on. There's one company advertising in Goshen, IN, that they will take ANY vehicle that will tow a trailer. SUV? Half ton pickup? No problem....

    I believe most RV manufacturers farm out the transportation to a vendor, like Bennett, who in turn gets drivers etc.

    Not a manufacturer, but CW transport hauls exclusive for Camping World.

    I saw that too. There is even a transport company that has six brand new F250’s ,(red - hint - hint), sitting in the front of their office. One person who is still working with them thinks that they are being used for moving RV’s from the manufacture to the delivery yards. It’s going to be a strange year.

    Got a quick question which I already know the answer, however I want feedback from a few other and insight too....

    I'm looking for a truck to get into rv transport, I know a dual rear wheel will be the best overall, however I'm thinking that getting a single rear wheel 1 ton might be in my best interest for getting started and to having to buy a truck and everything too get started too... And than buy a new truck after i get the money to so within a few years.....

    What is everyone's insight on this theory that I have?

    mditty,
    how would it be in your best interest to by a srw and not a drw? I don't follow your thinking.

    plus easier to find srw over drw

    Ok if it's easier in your area to find a 3500 srw I can sorta see that. That's not the case in my area.

    also the cost of the used Dually and used 3500 single rear wheel is about the same in my part of the country
     
    chalupa Thanks this.
