    Thanks guys. Anyone know anything about RV Xpress? According to their website their pay is as good or slightly better than the others I've seen. I've emailed them and they want me to fill out an online app. The other company I'm thinking about is Horizon.

    Just found an add for Synergy RV Transport. I know I have few options with the age of my truck and it being a short bed. So I'm concentrating on the companies that dont require an 8' bed and a new truck.

    The recruiter at Southeastern said they closed the office in Durant, OK. They have the office in Bristol and he said it would mostly be all coming back empty for another RV.

    Well a few friends that run with them get some haul backs from Texas and Oklahoma. Not horse trailers but something else.

    One I remember was picked up in Pryor OK.

    Do you think it would be possible to lease on with 2 companies to eliminate deadheading as much as possible?

    Just about all RV companies will let you find loads to haul back under their authority but they take a percentage . That is why some haulers like a haul and tow . They have a low profile flatbed and haul one RV and tow another . That gives them more options for a backhaul .

    No.

    You can only have the truck leased to one company at a time.

    Ok but some let you find back hauls if they take a percentage. That sounds reasonable.

    Whats the percentage of backhauls if you pull with just a truck?

    Another question..........Will I have to log non compensated miles? Miles up to the terminal? Miles deadheading back to terminal or home?
