I’ve heard some people on KZbin saying you can clean up with this job. Didn’t sound like it to me. Listen to what this transporter says.

I did RV Transport for a year. If you do it purely to see the country. that/s fine. Don't expect to make a lot of money unless you just go, go go. It got to where I was running almost full time and it was my retirement job. If I had the right truck and it was paid for, I might consider it again.

I did it. 90 percent are married with a spouse who works full time or are retired. Either results in supplemental income. I was in the 10 percent as a sole source of income. Working 3 weeks on and 1 week off ; you will make about 2000 a month with current rates. It's fun but your income level is just above poverty unless you're in the 90 percent who have another source of money.

Thanks for your perspective.

The $2000 a month is taxable income after expenses. RV transporters sleep in their trucks in truck stops or rest areas. We don't sleep in hotels or there would be no income left . You have to be comfortable sleeping in the back of your pickup and showering in truck stops etc. The freedom is nice but I never liked sleeping in a truck for weeks at a time etc and using public bathrooms. Especially since Covid-19 .

1 rule at a Truck Stop- never take up 2 parking spaces, just to sit in your chair. Parking spots are much needed for truckers who are tired and drive on an 11 hour drive clock. A bobtailer could have used that spot. You see in the video 1 was looking for a spot to park for the night.

Good luck getting your 18 wheeler in a single parking spot you obviously didn't notice THAT did you

Interesting and informative. It doesn't appear that the vehicle needed to meet company requirements would lend itself to full time van life though.

Some people have a truck and trailer, and store their trailer for these jobs.

I'm sure you could use a bigger truck, like a 1-ton van or box van, or build out something like an Isuzu NPR box truck, if you wanted real vanlife or Class C RV type living space. For that matter, I would guess they wouldn't say no if you wanted to use a Class A or a luxury bus to deliver a trailer with. Likewise for a semi tractor with sleeper. A 3/4 ton pickup seems marginal to be towing RV trailers back and forth across the country continuously, which is why it's the smallest tow vehicle they allow.

You would also have to really love Indiana.@@EfficientRVer
