With rv sales being down 20%. How much has shipping dropped? If any? And does hauling rv's to dealers look to take a plunge in the near future? Just curious...

Probably will be a major downturn in RVs soon, but it also depends who you work for I think. The one I am at still seems steady enough for me at the single pull level, but buying a trailer I can't say I could justify right now based on how much work it would get. Other outfits might have a larger demand for trailer loads.

That has to be one of the worst things you can get into. Not even looking at the economy..

Depends on what segment.

I did it briefly with a leased (monthly) pick up and enjoyed it for a side gig on my off days. I’m a RV’er and enjoy driving diesel trucks so the short radius trips I took allowed me to unwind. I would even do some runs before work (worked midnight).
One day there were no loads. That one day turned into months so turned the truck in after while. So I can attest to industry downturns. -
Again it depends who you work for. Some of the larger outfits like Horizon or Indiana Transport probably over-hire drivers and don't care if there is enough work to keep everybody happy. RV's are seasonal like a lot of things but they build and ship year round and send them somewhere.

Tow-away you at least can sleep in your truck and know how you are getting back (or out there in my case). If you have a paid off truck that is reliable and you do most of your own wrench turning you can make some money. I've talked to guys that have been doing it for a decade or longer.Last edited: Sep 25, 2019
