Van Life Jobs: Delivering RVs

[@debinvenice]

She needs her own channel. Her experience driving a lot of different RVs would provide a lot of insight for those of us still searching. Thanks so much much for posting this video!

[@joelm6631]

debinvenice yepbwould be cool to see her delivering different models. She's great!

[@cathyann1601]

I agree! Fascinating!!!!!

[@ChrisCooling]

yes, it would be a hit. I haven't seen anybody doing this as a channel yet

[@zekehooper]

I so agree! She is so interesting!

[@tracy3066]

I also would love to see her doing youtube videos!

[@nicolelacy4527]

I hope this doesnt sound offensive but im so excited to see a black woman whos a nomad. Ive never seen it on youtube. I started thinking there werent any blk people ill encounter on the road. Of course im saying this because im blk also :)

[@Lovelace069]

Nicole Lacy hi ditto☺

[@sunshineaqua4465]

Nicole Lacy Yes Ms Lacy we are out there! Glad there is another sister too on this journey!

[@janetfryeaifd1011]

I've see a couple of guys (black) doing it but she's the first lady. And I agree with others, would love to see her do a channel, so articulate and informative.

[@Lovelace069]

Crystal Vanner just subscribed to your channel.

[@ShayTBD]

Nicole Lacy - You won't be alone, I will soon be out there with you. My dog and I.

[@jazzigypsy]

Thank you, thank you, Bob! Just this morning I was praying and asking God for a way to live and travel without having to get a regular job to the save money. I am so ready to get on the road, it almost hurts. I will be looking into this job, starting today. Also, I was always wondering if there were other African American people, especially women living the nomad lifestyle. I guess I knew there was but I haven't seen them represented as much. I am so happy to see someone who looks like me that also enjoys living on the road. I appreciate your channel, I watch it all the time. One day I look forward to meeting you in person! You are the best!

[@tootz1950]

When you do start driving as your job can you please video and upload? Good luck.

[@CheapRVliving]

Thanks Jazzi, I'd love to meet you if our paths cross. :)

[@jurikowhy359]

You're the expert in racism, right? Be quiet!

[@jazzigypsy]

We all use labels to identify ourselves.Like being Jewish or Asian, etc... I just was stating that I am happy to see another person of color doing something that in my community, where I come from, it's not normal for us (blacks) to live in an RV. It had nothing to do with racism. Stop being so sensitive, Please & Thanks!

[@tootz1950]

IKR, like it would be cool if I met someone Scottish that was doing this.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Thanks so much. Because of THIS video, I JUST got a job with Horizon Transport, delivering RV’s. I’m excited, I start next week. 😁 After driving an 18 wheeler for 8 years, this will be a pleasant change.

[@jonathanesters8030]

I plan on it around the new year I dont care what the haters say I believe you get what you put in if your lazy you go broke simple I may be wrong but I'll find out from experience

[@lefthandup1422]

How did it go? Still going? Curious.....

[@daretodream...898]

Well, Bill ... how did it go? I have not seen a video about this on your YT channel. Did I miss something?

[@brotherbert2996]

Is it just me or did she come across as well polished and knew how to express herself and answer all the questions you may have while listening to her. I researched this a few years back and the one thing that kept popping up was people being charged for damages after delivering the vehicle, sometimes months down the road and having to pay all or part of their earnings back. It wasn't just one person, but multiple after multiple parties claiming they had been blindsided. It was as if it was an uncertain scam between the transporter and the purchaser. The only way I can see past that is making a videotape after each delivery with a representative who works for the purchaser. Not quite sure if pictures would be as formidable. Another thing that was odd is for every 20 drivers or so they recruited, only a couple last after a month or so. High turnover rate is a huge red flag. In short, along with the mileage and earnings not adding up as some have noted, I wouldn't look at this as a way to make a living but a way to see the country after you finish making a delivery. But even after that, have a video to prove it was delivered without damage. Don't get ahead of your expectations. Be wise and think for yourself.

[@shumeister1059]

Lots of good points! I guess it always pays to verify the fine prints.

[@lisaalexander1102]

Yeah I figured there was a catch. One of those too-good-to-be-true things.

[@allim.5941]

Why does it seem like you are surprised that she’s articulate.

[@zerolubin]

You utter twat - just say what you mean.

[@brotherbert2996]

@@zerolubin Because my name is Gerry and I have no patience...

[@shadowliving6858]

What a wonderful way to live. She's perfectly fit for this type of lifestyle and shares it well. Needs her own channel for sure.

[@Punxsyjumper]

Great to see another transporter on here. She is exactly right, it's a great job. No time clock, nobody looking over your shoulder. I transported for a few years but retired last summer. I actually have my tow car for sale and it is decked out and a real money maker. Maybe I should do a video on it and link it to you here. Thanks Bob.

[@imari2305]

Very informative. Glad to see a sister out there on her journey. I would love to see videos from her and her showing us what she does. Thanks for sharing :-)

[@johnbrumit7148]

I currently live in homes I restore. It might take me a month or two to restore a home. At that point I move to another house and start again. I don't have a van nor do live outside but, I'm still a nomad.

[@kenhurley4441]

You nailed that one!

[@dawng5653]

Who would put a thumb down on these videos! Jay has her own show and is vibrant and full of life! Thanks for the information!

[@KurdishGirl4500]

Wow I absolutely love the freedom this woman has with her Job. You GO Girl!!!!!

[@vikibanaszak4881]

This lady is awesome! She has really got it together and is living the life. A very smart person.

[@loucee222]

Fantastic interview and information! So happy for Jay! Go girl, live your adventure!

[@CheapRVliving]

Thanks for watching Lou!

[@emmeenguyen2844]

Jay is a breath of fresh air! Thank you for sharing! I wish you well in all your adventures!

[@Joe-cu4hi]

I was so excited when I watched this interview, I said finally something I can do and enjoy it to. I went to the website mentioned and they require CDL, 20,000 miles of over the road experience (not vacation miles but related work experience) for driving one of the motorhomes. If you have a pickup it must be 3/4 ton duel axle Diesel Equipped for 5th wheel and travel trailer and many other items, too many to number. And the 100's of warnings that RV hauling in general is not profitable. Well at least I got excited for 29 minutes

[@georgiabyrd6785]

I got excited for a whole evening, I'm about to lose my current job and was so excited for this hope, the one evening I just spent felt like a whole year of walking on air that was then squashed. I wish this source was more vetted before being posted. When I returned for the evening and had a chance to properly research everything, it didn't take that long to see that the industry as described is bunk. Bob just said that he credits his viewers with researching a job before applying, but if a fraction of the time spent filming, editing and posting this video was spent researching, well that's a lot of cummulative time spent shooting hopes up, then crashing them down. I'm so bummed.... :(

[@cb750fs]

No such thing as a pot of gold landing on your lap. If you love driving & making money become a company truck driver. They pay for everything. You work for it though. It always irks me that people always have an excuse in why they can’t do something. Just go out and do it.

[@davidwilcox8801]

There are multiple companies that do this service that have a varying requirements for getting started as was mentioned in the video. They don't all require CDL, they don't all require a 3/4 ton diesel. Don't give up at the 1st roadblock. Driving over the road is not for everyone. It is actually hard work it takes a while to build-up the tolerance to sit in the seat and drive 500 miles a day.

[@dona62851]

What great info, as usual! What a smart and personable lady!

[@judyjudyjudy9593]

My brother used to deliver RVs, the RV company charged deliveries to my brothers delivery account that he didn't deliver. Anytime one of the white collars from the RV company wanted to take a vacation they took an RV to Florida or wherever they wanted to go and then charged it (plus gas) to my brothers deliveries. He never knew until the Feds came to my brother for the taxes due.

[@FreedomNurse]

hitchhiker 😳 wow that’s fucked up.

[@nickyannajones]

Which company was that?!

[@kelvintorrence5994]

That s sound s like a crap deal. He didn't get stuck with those taxes did he.

[@marmac44902]

Hi Bob and Jay, great interview. I must say I never thought about RV Ferring. It sounds like a perfect gig for a couple that has their own RV. One can drive the ferried vehicle and the other can drive their own RV. Sweet ! Especially if your a van dweller. Jay, my hat is off for you for courage and a love of adventure.You go girl !!! Increase The Peace. 😎

[@lorijones9579]

This is the coolest woman. She's awesome.

[@livefreeordie4850]

Yes

[@patricparamedic9057]

She's not that awesome. She's looking into a camera an lying to 100,000 people who don't know any better. "Awesome" would be simply telling the truth.

[@doloressanchez3501]

I would love to do your job! You are very inspiring, love listening to such a enthustiatic woman. Your great! Good luck, and God be with you always.

[@biffbrude675]

Just love you Jay! Thank you for droppin the knowledge on us. Safe and happy travels to you! Cliff

[@suzystoia8498]

Thanks to this video I started delivering RVs about 2 months ago, and I LOVE IT!!!!! Feel so much more "free" and love the fact that I get paid to travel.

[@sandysmith1853]

Hi Suzy how did you get started I’m sooo jazzed lol. I have a class B CDL and LOVE TO DRIVE AND TRAVEL

[@joehill1488]

Great interview! Wonderful to see her enjoying what she does and willing to talk about it. Thanks!

[@Tygerlady99]

Interesting - sounds like fun! I have read online somewhere about this sort of job and it seems like a win/win situation if you're flexible enough. I wish Jay happy travels and many, many more adventures. Thanks for sharing.

[@CheapRVliving]

Good point, flexibility is important.

[@anthonydigiovanni2218]

Wow terrific interview, Jade was great. I agree she should have her own channel!! Very informative. Thank you again Bob.

[@kornfreak78]

I would absolutely LOVE to have her job!! Holy crap, HOW do you even get your foot in the door for something like this?? I could do this happily until I retire. Like her, I find driving to be very therapeutic, I have a passion for driving, I love traveling, I love RV's, and my dream in life is literally to live out the rest of my days in an RV camped out in the woods somewhere. I too have no vehicle so I would have to start out like she did, but this kind of job would allow me to save up to buy a vehicle just like she did... I am trying not to get too excited about this, but this seems like exactly what I have been looking for to fix my financial problems and give me some kind of life. I mean really, doing this job would definitely lead me to the goals I so desperately want in life. I've always been held back because of having health issues that make it very hard for me to hold down a steady job. This is something I could do despite my issues. Other than the place she mentioned, Are there places you can contact for driving and delivering RV's... or do you just google what she said and look into it that way? Would love to seriously look into this! I just don't have the foggiest idea who you even talk to or if you need to know the right people to get your foot in the door. Any information you have would greatly be appreciated. That being said, GREAT interview! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. :)

[@kornfreak78]

Really...? You don't say...? Gee, I NEVER thought about doing that! You must have mystical intellectual powers that exceed my own! I never in a MILLION years thought about doing that... smart ass. I was merely wanting to know key things to search for. I have NO CLUE about this kind of thing. It's like trying to learn a foreign language when you go to a country where you don't speak the native tongue. If you don't know the information to search for, you're not going to get very far. I get that you do a search for "RV transport" but I more so wanted the information on how you get your foot in the door to this type of thing seeing as I don't have the foggiest idea.

[@kornfreak78]

Way to beat the dead horse, buddy.

[@geopro0780]

Pretty easy to call people a moron and degrade them when they simply wanted answers to a few questions, isn't it? .. you moron. What you read is never the whole picture, but your very quick to show everyone your complete lack of empathy. Why do so many jerks like you come out of the woodwork when there's no recourse for their hateful words.

Thank you J for doing this interview with this gentleman. Your story gives me food for thought; especially after having recently traveled cross country alone twice in the past 2 years.

[@angelamoon2640]

What she's saying is true. I used to work for greyhound and a number of these drivers commute to pick up and drop off these rvs. They all said it's great money in it.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Great interview. She really gave a lot of good information. What a great opportunity. Thanks for posting.

[@sunshineaqua4465]

wow I would love to use my class B cdl to work the summer months transporting RV too. I drive school buses during the school year and I already van dewell.

[@azcactusflower1]

You have the passenger B (you would qualify in their bus division) and they may require the Class B for trailer combination (limited by the weight). Class A would cover the high gvr rv's. I have a Class A, in the transportation industry for 28 year (20 years Teamster). One has do their research...there are games in the industry...and just a short search online, I gleamed some unsettling information...false claims by employer (running on flat tires or damage...all to be paid by the driver). I would probably jump on it if it was union; more driver protection. Otherwise a person would have to video tape a pre-trip inspection and have tire monitoring system.

[@sunshineaqua4465]

Yes i have class b with passenger, schoolbus and air breaks. Driven school bus and transit for 12 years. I also had a class A learners premit and did a internship over the road in a peter built, low boy haul for two months. Passed everything but my off set backing. I am also doing my research about the company. It just would be nice for extra money and travel. I like my school bus job and the private school I work for.

[@dandydear6418]

I have a class B CDL and drive school bus during the school year. This would be a great way to travel and make money during the summer. I love to drive and this would be the ideal job.

I find people relating as to how they escaped from employment in the corporate world really interesting. Jay seemed to accomplish this quite seamlessly and in the process, created a whole new way of living whereby she's in charge. Congratulations, Bob, on one of your very best interviews. You sure do ask the most pertinent questions.

[@CheapRVliving]

Jay is in charge, deciding how much she wants to work and where she wants to go. I think this is a great option. Thank you!

[@georgiabyrd6785]

I'm looking at the posts above speculating that Jay was a recruiter (and after checking out her company's website, am getting the same impression as there is a LOT more to working for the company)..... how did you meet up with Jay, respectfully, if you don't mind me asking? Thank you so much!! xo.... I loved the video but am feeling very disheartened.

I know this video was a few mos ago but, It's nice to see this woman doing something she enjoys. I have no desire to drove anything bigger than a truck or van across country unless it was my own RV. But it works for her and that's great.

[@zdiver1]

Bob another local driving job. When my lease was up on a car I received a call and was given a time and date that the car would be picked up, so a van pulled up to my house about 10 people in it and a guy gives the car an inspection I signed some papers then a guy gets out of the van and drives the car to a yard across town to get cleaned up before auction. I was thinking that would be a good retirement job.

[@CheapRVliving]

Thanks for posting zdiver1, food for thought.

[@maddona1ify]

J thanks so much for sharing this video with everyone. This was a great video.

[@michaelbates5202]

She doesn't tell you how much she spends on motel rooms. You are absolutely not allowed to sleep in those rigs. Food costs on the road are high, you are absolutely not allowed to use any of the appliances, shower, toilet, ect. you see where this is going? Any and all expenses are on you.

[@patricparamedic9057]

I certainly understand when folks hear about this work for the first time and start getting excited. We did the same. Listen to what Mr Michael Bates has to say. Because the man is 100% right.

[@tubetime39]

Yes, no details given here. You have to get yourself to the pickup point where RV is located and then when you deliver it, you are done. Right there. No pay to get home or back to where your next delivery starts from.

[@nvalles2565]

I agree with you but man did she piss you off or what? Sounding a bit hostile.

[@kimbashae964]

Thank you so much for showcasing Jay and her amazing job. I had no idea this existed. The wheels are turning!

[@DerekandDoc]

$100k/year? Bull! I spent two summers doing this out of Elkhart, IN. Worked for Horizon Transport myself and I guarantee you no one has ever made anywhere near that kind of money delivering RVs. You are paid a flat amount depending on distance involved and you have to buy the fuel to get to the destination, as well as costs to get back... Also, you have a set time limit for deliveries, so there isn't any time to 'vacation' on the way to delivery, and you are certainly not allowed to stray off the shortest route, so detouring a couple hundred miles to visit Yellowstone for example is not an option except on the return trip. I drove deliveries a couple times to Alaska, but mostly to California, and it was a great way to see the country. But there was very little money left at the end of the job/trip. I enjoyed it greatly, but if you think you're gonna make big bucks doing it, you will surely be disappointed.

[@Dgantea]

Thanks for being realistic. It's a shame more people won't see this comment.

[@MsPriyaLal]

I think its believable to say you can deliver take a trip across country and get your meals and lodging covered but not really make much profit. A way to see places without losing money

[@softrolls]

wrangler- to answer your question, you might be the only one concerned about Bob's finances.

[@softrolls]

wrangler - what makes you say that the majority of this channel's viewers are in a desperate financial state? Was there an earnings poll I missed? Don't mean to sound like a troll, despite my screen name, but I suspect you're just making an assumption about people interested in the nomadic life.

[@softrolls]

Rachel K - I don't read all the posts, but several people out of 28,000 does not sound like "vast majority are in desperate financial state." And that was my point, which Wrangler conceded. I think the more important issue is whether the remuneration claimed in this video is even possible. It sounds too good to be true, as Wrangler pointed out.

[@sikantis61]

Great interview with a very informative subject. She seems truly happy with her lifestyle!

[@1alfonsorico]

People be carefull, the numbers don't add up. These RV's average 8 to 9 miles a mile with tail wind. The average gallon of gas is 2.20 or more for diesel fue,l so that averages $0.26 per driven mile. So now we have a whooping $0.57 per driven mile on only one way and you have to find a way to get back to Indiana. in order for her to make $60.000 on a 1099 pay she would have to drive about over 200.000 thousand miles a year. Not to mention full taxes, no benefits an that wonderful 10 % bond to cover the didactable on cargo and liability insurarance that should be paid by the carrier. She is probably a recruiting agent for HorizonTransport. Do I need to say more?

[@FoolishDoug]

"I know with car delivery, you can't drive after dusk or before dawn." In what country? I see car haulers running overnights all the time in the USA.

[@ryw5862]

[@garywatts8351]

[@shadowliving6858]

Great interview Mr. Wells. Thanks for doing such an in-depth interview and sharing this valuable information.

[@deanh7190]

Math doesn't equate. 4 years of driving she states 100,000 miles driven x .83 a mile = $83,000/ 4 yrs does not equal the stated $50 to 60 K Net per year.

[@davidwilcox8801]

It is true that whre math and numbers don't add up realistically. I'm a full time flat better and I've driven 500000 miles in 5 years probably a little more. But they don't pay you for all the miles you drive they pay you from zip code to zip code. That being said there are a massive number of deductions allowed for an independent contractor subject to DOT hours of service regulations. Just about everything you do and by on the road is deductible. Plus you're allowed a $63 A-day per diem exemption of which you get to claim 80%.This is per day of travel on the road away from home if you worked 200 days a year it does add up.

[@tubetime39]

And they only pay one way. So 100,000 of paid miles would be 200,000 mi of driving You have to get yourself back. She said she'd go to Tampa or Ft Lauderdale, then go to Key West. So to go key west & home or back to pick up your next delivery is all on you. She pays to go on vacation from delivery location. Yes it pays to get you part way which can be nice if you are retired but it is not a full time job. Unless you have a good pickup , equipped to their specks and pay extra for ins and have a trailer to haul campers and then have back hauls for that trailer. That person might gross $ 100,000.

[@gkeller9958]

She sure did paint a pretty picture. I've been there, done that. It's not that pretty. Mentioning that she sleeps in the RV was not wise. I've known a couple of people that lost their job (contract) because they got caught sleeping in the units. Anyone interested in this line of work, do some more research by talking to another driver. Not the transport companies, because they fill your head with all these beautiful opportunities that don't exist.

[@veronicasalas2666]

G Keller sounds like she does things her way and she's open about it. No need to knock it. Every person can control what they do. Maybe she doesn't have as much opportunities as others but she sounds happy and it's give and take. Maybe the person on the other side prefers to give a little for less money😊

[@cdlady54_95]

G Keller talking too much can get you canned!

[@kitgames1174]

HorizonTransports website says Drive-Away drivers can sleep in the RVs, just not in the bed, sleep on the couch, or like she said, on the table, in/on your sleeping bag. But she may be embellishing, she estimates she's driven a bit over 100,000 miles over 4 years. Now maybe she's getting paid a lot more than $.83 per mile at some other companies, but if she's only driving around 25,000 miles a year, there's no way she's netting the claimed $60-65k annual she says she is. At $.83 per mile driving around 25,000 miles per year, she'd be bringing in closer to $21k a year. Which isn't terrible, it's close to what I make working 40 hr weeks doing janitorial labor, but she says she's making 3x that. Which doesn't add up. She'd have to be getting paid closer to $2.50 per mile to make that kind of money, or she's driving a lot more than 25,000 miles a year, more like 70k+ miles per year.

[@sunnyspaces7]

Very good interview... wonderful lady!!!

[@swicheroo1]

I find this hard to believe. When I was in grad school, I almost went on a trip from LA to New York with a friend. He decided to finish with just a masters and I decided to continue with my doctorate...but we were friends so I was going to accompany him on a cross country during winter break. He found a gig with one of these companies and we were almost going to do it. But I backed out once I realized how much of an exploitative situation these companies put you in. My friend did the trip alone--paid for hotel, gas, food. He had to be at his destination within a set number of days--only enough for maybe one slightly out of the way trip. He got no pay out of this. It was just the use of the van. There are so many restrictions and you also assume too many liabilities. So yeah, no way.

[@Sillybabyalive]

I am so enthralled with this lady and her humble approach.. and such knowledge. I would adore being her friend... My kind of gal!

[@sarahjackson6714]

Anyone thinking of a job like this should go to employee reviews...

[@CheapRVliving]

Absolutely!

[@HorizonTransport]

Sarah, unfortunately most people don't leave a review unless they're upset. There's a reason we're one of the oldest and largest companies in the country. Our customers love us, our drivers love us, and together we're great at what we do. It's not for everyone, but it can be a great job for those that love to drive.

[@freecyclemichaelczechvar7598]

Where exactly can we find employee reviews?

Hey I wonder why Horizon doesn't allow comments under their own video about the "dream job"?? , LoL!!

[@jonathanesters8030]

I've noticed every video I look at about rv transport this juke box bear is there being a hater

Jonathan Esters Do you own Horizons, bro?

[@StaverMarilyn]

What a Great interview Bob! Hi Jay : ) Thank you for sharing your story! You got us (Jon & Marilyn) so interested we continued researching. We applied to Horizon this week and we have already got a call back. Who knows where this will lead. THANK YOU! We hope to meet you on the road!

[@wilde1909]

That is the most interesting video I've watched on your channel. After all the RVs she's driven, her saying she is considering a Roadtrek means it is probably the only RV one should consider.

[@freeswimmin]

Mary Ann Lee It is a very individual choice between size, convenience, economy of scale, and "needs". I am very simple and minimalistic but couldn't be happy in a Prius... apparently there are people that feel the same about a 21' Class B. Personally, I am fine with a hightop (*required*; as i am a tall agorist and choose not to live life bowing to constraints!😁) van. It is up to YOU to determine what you *need* and what you can be comfortable in.😉

[@tootz1950]

I was hoping she had towed some 5th wheels, but she doesn't have the truck.

[@CheapRVliving]

I recently posted a few videos on how to choose the best van or rv for your needs. You might find them useful.

[@ahlivetuhsidamaro150]

She’s awesome!!! So inspirational!!!!

[@MsPriyaLal]

Yea OTR big rig truck drivers are slaving away only to make $40k and $60k on the high end. There is no way delivering RVs will earn more. Otherwise truck drivers would be flocking to it.

[@robmullin1128]

captaincalibration hey,it’s more then I make now at a non-profit! Also that’s 40k to 60k with no expenses and you get to travel,have no boss, etc....

Great interview! Thanks for sharing her experience w us.

[@Febrile1]

She was in **corporate America**? Tht's pretty general. What does it *mean*?

[@lapislazulblue]

What an informative and interesting interview! Thank you to you both for sharing this information. In todays economy with jobs being so hard to find this sounds like a great job for the right person. And Jay did such a good job of describing the requirements and the pay structure in clear language, it was very easy to understand. Plus you asked all the right questions that anyone would ask, so we got all the answers you would need to know. If interviews could win Oscars, this one would be a winner! Happy and safe driving to you both.

[@johndeveney3878]

I would take heed to tha professional "drivers" advice. I giggled when Bob asked about her salary; hmm, err, let's say 50k! She, like most professional drivers, would most definitely be diving every day! It's also interesting that Horizon is trolling on this page! Creepy 😞

[@kodeywhitewolf4056]

great interview with Ms J / love watching and following her thru her you tube channel

[@GeorgeStar]

How does she hook up her car to all these different trailers? They don't all have tow bars.

[@rebeccabsomanybooks3558]

I love her. I wish I had her initiative.Awesome!

[@vaneskaz2326]

kinda confused on why insurance wouldn't cover damage.?? And what happens if pray to God wouldn't or don't happen if there was a major accident to you first and medical expenses and other damages to the delivery item and ur auto or equipment ??

[@johanneberube6682]

Wow! You have a great work experience! Thanks for sharing 🌹

[@lowerastral1963]

I never give my business to Walmart... EVER.

[@emmieHD]

Great information!! Thank you to Jay for sharing. And thank you, Bob, for the interview. I would love to know if she decides to start a YT channel. I enjoyed listening to her.

[@JukeBoxBear]

I seen this and nearly spilled my coffee all over everything! Apparently she didn't take accounting or study of economics. We did it for a few years and could see pretty quick that it was a break even or expensive hobby at best. Most of the people who live in Goshen and Elkhart IN know the RV industries dirty little secret. The reason you get 50 to 70% up front is that it takes at least that much for fuel. If you encounter bad weather and have to get off the road your expenses increase and winds over 25 mph you have to get off the road! Break down and your on your own. You have to keep a log book and roll in weigh stations and pay your own fines if you made any mistake or if you are over weight. You are treated as a big rig truck driver by DOT. You don't stay in a hotel because you can't afford it! YOU are responsible for anything even a small scratch your fault or not... that's why you keep a 1500 bond. The dealers want you to wash it so they can find anything to fault you or the manufacture with. You have to wash most units. The dealers, manufactures and dispatch companies don't care about the drivers at all. Most people love doing it so much they refuse to see that they are going deeper and deeper in credit card debt until one day they sober up. You can tell she doesn't have any idea what she really makes in a year. LoL, I can tell you its nowhere near a net of $100K and not at all $50K. those may be gross figures but truly nowhere remotely close to the net figures. I guess if you are homeless it may seem like a thriving life!! ... Horizon? Really! LoL!!! I don't think so, go around and talk to some of the drivers or go to some of the forums and get a taste of the word on the street I had nearly 200,000 miles under my belt before I had to quit to keep from losing any more money! But the industry keeps selling it as a great way to make money!! LoL!!! .... it is fun at first but you won't make money in the end

[@CheapRVliving]

Soprry to hear your experience wasn't a positive one. Thanks for posting.

[@JukeBoxBear]

no, my experience is far more realistic then hers. just check around on the forums and on this channel

[@georgiabyrd6785]

thank you JukeBoxBear for the DL, I appreciate it xo

[@bbundercover1654]

Part of your comment may true. But delivering a class A, B, or C RV does not require log books or going through weigh station's like OTR truckers. There's no issue being over weight and for all they know you may be grandpa going to Bob's RTR.

[@robmullin1128]

JukeBoxBear She obviously knows what she is doing,it’s apparent she is a pro as opposed to someone who is being bamboozled,she has been in the business for four years.

[@WKUTZTV69]

What a great video Bob & she is just fantastic too, great info!

[@debinvenice]

I did find one "issue" (for me) on the Horizon website. Under Drive-Away Division Driver Qualifications (say that 3 times fast) was this little tidbit: "Driving experience: No commercial driving experience is required to become a driveaway driver. We do, however, require you to list at least 20,000 miles with a larger vehicle such as a Motorhome, U Haul Truck, Ect., Please list all of your personal and or professional driving experience on your application. Picture of the larger vehicle you drove may be required for review." How does one get 20,000 miles of experience?

[@K9River]

debinvenice, 20,000 miles is a paltry amount, so once you find a job, it won't take long. Some of the easier jobs to acquire are delivering for a lumber yard (very physical job!), delivering for a beer/wine/pop distributor, delivering for a laundry cleaner, working at a U-haul, deliver for an appliance store, furniture store, mattress store, transport kids in a school bus (very easy to get this job as long as you have a clean driving record, a clean background, and a decent work history!!!), drive bus in an intracity transit system, drive for Greyhound, etc. Many of those don't require a CDL. Those that do, they will teach you. I didn't mention driving for Swift. Any over-the-road jobs like in a semi with a trailer will require up to 6 weeks of training, then a one year commitment driving for that specific company before you can be considered for any other over-the-road job.

[@sunshineaqua4465]

debinvenice they also train for a cdl. Call the recruiters​

[@debinvenice]

Thanks Octavia!

[@debinvenice]

Thanks VideoMorsels!

[@debinvenice]

Yeah, I don't have a desire to do any of that... just want to deliver RVs. Thanks for the additional info!

[@teresalee2302]

Wow great video Bob! I really could see myself doing this

[@PidasianHippie]

Jay has got it going on! She is making more than a lot of working age Americans. This is better than being a truck driver.

[@CheapRVliving]

Jay is working when she wants where she wants. She is able to live on part time wages transporting rvs. To her that is the definition of freedom.

[@bbundercover1654]

I don't know how much time she had to give Bob an answer on the numbers. But coming up with numbers on the fly it can be easy to make mistakes. And sometimes people get confused with gross and net so I guess I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt. She does seem to be happy at what she's doing and making it work.

[@TexCynRVLife]

Do you need to use a log book and do you have to obey the 14 hour rule

[@CheapRVliving]

Good questions. I would suggest you contact the transport company for the info.

[@DerekandDoc]

Not in the early 90's when I drove for Horizon...

[@HorizonTransport]

You do need to log via the KeepTruckin app and follow DOT regulations.

[@Cynthia-fs4vi]

What a nice lady! I never realized that the RVs were personally transported, but now that I think about it - of course! Not like there's a big hauler for RVs like the ones for cars. This was a good video - thumbs up.
