    Hey everyone, I am looking to get into transporting rv's. I have been looking at a couple different ones like horizon transport and Indiana transport. Doesn't matter if I only haul rv's or if I haul Regualr trailer, horse trailers, ect...... Another thing I'm looking at is a back haul. A lot of companies don't have many back hauls. So if anyone could help me out that would be great!!!

    Long time ago I drove new ones for delivery and sometimes I could get a Ryder repo as a semi-return. Those Indiana companies are hurting, seen them on CL in Tucson looking for drivers.

    We been all over this before. No one, at the end of the day can convince anyone that, as a full time trucking job recreational vehicle delivery is a good decision. You may come across a few who make a fair living at it, but at the end of the day too much overhead and no future in RV delivery holds it back as a good career choice. As a sessional, part time job for retirees and part time workers - it’s great.

    I have been doing drive-away for the past 2 months and I am all ready to end my tenure in about 3-6 weeks, (mid June).

    Curious if you can do this with the bed off the truck? This way you can change the truck into sort of a carhauler/ramp truck----for backhauls while still being able to tow 5th wheels and tag a long trailers.

    I think there is a couple of guys on here that have been set up the way you're talking about. I think it's called a "Tow Haul" set up. I'm sure someone that knows more about that will chime in soon.

    I know several people that haul rvs, and they all make great money. It's just like any other trucking job. You need to treat it as a business and plan accordingly if you want to get ahead.
