Good video. I did it for a year for Star Fleet out of Elkhart In. when I lived in Chillicothe Mo. Would leave home on Sunday afternoon and get into Elkhart, pick up my trailer and then drive for two hours, pull over and sleep. I would either take one long trip a week or two short ones that would equal one long one and be home on Friday morning or afternoon. My wife would occasionally go with me. It was fun except going into Canada in the winter.

Absolutely outstanding video. New subscriber. Thanks for the info. Be safe.

[@anthonymckee5225]

Hello, I just recently found your channel and subscribed after watching the first 2 videos. However, this particular video was the best of all I've watched since my interest in RV transport came about 3 weeks ago-- fantastic content! I have been communicating with Horizon but have not taken the leap just yet. I am planning to continue my full time job for at least another year but would love to try out the business a few times a month to figure out if it's for me. Thanks again for the great level of detail.

[@fairwindsfollowingseas7909]

Glad it was helpful. Maybe I’ll catch you on the road one dY

[@garyinnis8907]

Thanks for the input and direction. Looking to get out of the semi and do this for a living. Think a pick up is a better ride.

[@raggdoll1977]

Quick tip, do videos with the camera showing the scenery and viewers hearing your voice. Most people don't want to stare at a face the whole video...

[@44MHughes]

First aid kit is not required. It’s also no good for emergency situations. It is, however, great to have for cuts and burns and things like that.

[@BruceDelVecchio]

I wanted to see you do the driving portion of the test

[@rpruneau68]

It was apparent from this video that he had already gone through orientation and was documenting his experience of such. I for one am thankful that he provided that valuable information. So thank you for taking the time to explain the testing portion of the orientation process.

[@CharlesDonaldson-oz2dl]

Just pointing out I think the battery to be one of those little small sealed lead acid batteries like used to fit in spotlights. Is Billy supposed to be on the trailer not the truck, but are they requiring you to keep an xtra on the truck? That big one would be kind of hard to mount on most trailers where they use the small tiny battery box.. maybe these guys are using a little something different than the ones I remember. 😅 Yeah I have fun thanks for the video.

[@unicornad1018]

Great video help out

[@johnnyking6071]

Thank you thank you thank you for all that content. You answered about 90% of my questions in that video. I probably will be ready next year to start my adventure doing this. I am waiting on having surgery on my nerves on both arms for both hands. The are what the dr said is captured whatever that means. But you have helped me 100% towards my goal. The only question you can help answer is on the non cdl side can A) I haul 5th wheel and B) can I for my safety run electronic log book??

[@fairwindsfollowingseas7909]

To the best of my knowledge and if I understand your question the answer is yes

[@kennethbench6882]

I have been watching you here on your channel . Thank you for all the great info. In this video you said nothing about a floor jack as far equipment that you would need to change a tire.

[@fairwindsfollowingseas7909]

That’s because vehicles comes with all necessary tools to change a tire as factory equipment

[@jrayez4995]

Amazing video guys and keep the information coming! I plan to get into this in about 2 years after I retire from the military so I'm trying to get as much information as I can now. I do have 2 questions for you. 1- You didn't mention checking the tire pressure on the trailer but I assume you do that after checking the lug nuts. 2- Is there an inspection of the roof of the RV? Seems to me that there could be damage there from the driver. Haven't heard it mentioned anywhere yet. Thanks again and I'll check in again for your driver number once I'm ready to go. Hopefully you're still working for Horizon!

[@fairwindsfollowingseas7909]

I thought we put tire pressure in that video maybe not I have done several videos that cover the fact that you need to do that. I don’t check the roof because if I were to climb up there in the latter ripped out of the side of the trailer I would be liable for that damage and there is no compensation if I were to fall off the ladder and hurt myself. In one of my videos I took a trailer and when I got to delivery the roof was destroyed they sent it back And they paid me to take it back

[@sorryeh7]

Do you have any kind of backhauls? also curious to see how you set up for sleeping in the truck. Thanks for the video! lots of great information!

Most excellent video. Thank you. You mentioned a non ELD load. What is that and do you have to run an ELD after you have delivered? Thanks again for the help.

[@chadhallsworth7664]

So how and what type of loads do you get after the drop off or do you have to drive straight back to the yard?

[@axercst]

edm music wasnt expecting that.

[@willy9734]

Great information about how the process works. To hail the heavier loads I know a CDL is required. Is there a shortened process for RV towing that you know of?

[@adamoutdoorbushcraft8164]

Wow that's a lot of equipment that you have to have up front just to do the job. I don't know where they think people have all this money to buy all the stuff to start doing that. If you don't have a lot of extra money it doesn't sound like this is the best job to get into. Not to be totally negative but overall it was a great video and you had some really good information. Just makes me feel a little down about it because I don't have half that stuff and I don't have the money to buy all that stuff to get started.

[@davidfulkerson1187]

When you are transporting those units do you still have to get a hotel to sleep or can you sleep in the unit? I have been driving tractor trailers since 2007. I'm looking for a change of pace and a little bit slower environment as I enter towards retirement years. I live in Avondale. Are there regular runs from Indiana to Phoenix delivering units? And are there units going from Phoenix back to indiana?

[@belindaharper2938]

Awesome videos! Question about the toolbox and transfer tank. Our tool box and tank sit slightly above the top edge of the bed like where the bed rail would be. Is that allowed?

[@fairwindsfollowingseas7909]

The website says no. My auxiliary tank does the same thing (about 1/4”) and I was hired on.

[@CToffroad]

Hey can you do a video on your back seat sleeper and what you do to stay cool during the summer and warm during the winter and all of you have done one I am sorry

[@vegasdavetv]

question, let's say u pick up in Indiana where most come from, go to Houston say, do you have to deadhead back to Indiana to get another load,

[@ronalves9118]

Easier then OTR Big rig's. But I understand that you pay for your own way back to pick up another unit. If so that can really eat up some of your profits.

[@fairwindsfollowingseas7909]

I just did a video over taxes showing a full years breakdown.

[@josephmicka8819]

Great video!!! have you done a video on the needed insurance?

[@fairwindsfollowingseas7909]

I’ve talked about the insurance several times. Horizon has partnered with a company and they have a policy prepared. I chose that policy

[@rikimlee1716]

Can you do more videos showing the load board. I want to make the jump to horizon, but I need to see what type of work they got. Is the load Consistent?

So with a load board I'm guessing there's no dispatch. What do you do for backhauls. How many miles per day are you expected to drive. Did you have to pay toll road fees or do you have pre pass.

I think this was a great video . I am in the process of retiring from heavy equipment type work and have 45 years CDL-A. I have been considering during transport work as a way to see some of America. I have a international 4700 four-door western hauler for my personal truck to pull my personal camper would consider using it but fuel efficiency may eat up to much profit. I get 8- 9.5 mpg pulling a 42’. 20,000# toy hauler. But only 10.5 no trailer. I also have a 1999 2500 Dodge . How many miles can you make on a good long day?

It pays to learn your HOOnce you deliver and you are headed home you go on personal conveyance. You are not on the clock. You can also use personal conveyance when you are out of driving hours for the day and you need a place to park. Just note Personal Conveyance to drive to safe haven parking, Off Duty.

Do you think the money to be made in rv transport would be on the cdl haul or driveaway side? With all the operating cost of the truck/ driver and deadhead at times, seems being able to knock out 3 or 4 of these at a time would be a better. I'm not sure just asking from outside looking in stand point.

There’s pros and cons to both. I’m personally still trying to decide which is better

Fair Winds & Following Seas no one else can tell me ether the only thing I can think of is if you are getting a back haul and it doesn’t have the safety chains so you can make a set

It’s to chain the axle up if you get a flat and don’t have a spare. That way you can safely get off the highway and wait for help in a safe place.
