found a job where i can drive a 1 ton truck hauling rvs but have expense questions

Well, Ryan you aren't going to want to hear this but you came here looking for advice and got it but it isn't what you want to hear. You're getting advice from people who know a little something about hauling stuff across the country with their own trucks. You don't have a figured expense for MISCELLANEOUS and you need one. Five hundred bucks will average six to eight nights in a motel. The $30 motels are getting harder to find and are all but gone and if you do manage to find the super cheap ones you will more often than not take something with you to remember it by...lice, bed bugs, foot fungus, skin rash or worse. Running 7000 miles a month on an older/ higher mileage vehicle can leave you hurting for repairs and in the hole quickly as a single repair can easily run in the four-digit range...and it will. The information on the websites are no different than truck company websites designed to entice drivers with promises and POSSIBLE (not probable or realistic) earnings that rarely materialize. Trust us on the advice you receive here. If you want to live on the road and have no bills at home, go for it....otherwise, please rethink your situation.

 

I drive a 2009 Dodge 3500 HD and get between 10 and 11 mpg. I'm loaded 55% of the time. If that helps any of figuring fuel costs. I count on $150-$175 every time I fuel up. This is over a 4 year span so I believe it to be a reliable figure.

As previously mentioned by others, if you can get some back hauls you can make a very decent income.

 

I know nothing about the rv business. But I do know resourceful people always find a way. It sounds plausible to me. I would still get the CDL. I have one with an air brake restriction because of the trailer I pull. It's easy to obtain without any type of school. Just study for the test and take the driving test with a truck/trailer combination that meets the standards. I used the 3500hd with a 30' gooseneck rated at 22k.

 

lmao So 10 people who probably know about the business all say the same thing, but it isn't what you want to hear so you basically tell them to piss off. Then some guy comes along, ADMITS to you that he has no clue about this side of the business, but he says something close to what you wanted to hear so you take it and run with it. . You can't make this stuff up folks. You just can't make it up.

 

You are obviously clueless. I might not know the rv business, but I have been at this 4 years with a truck in the same class. His numbers are not far off except for the fuel mileage. He has the spirit to not take no for and answer and you offer nothing but a negative comment with no facts to back it up. Trolls are a dime a dozen.

 

Combination weight is 26001 if I remember. I don't recall what size truck you have or if you even mentioned it. Driving test is easy. Parallel park, straight line backing and a ride around town. Nothing to it.Written tests were not bad if you study.
