- RV Transport Vlog!
I can't tell you who you should lease on to, because everyone has different needs and wants for their RV Transport business. But these are the things I look for, and their importance to me ranked 1-10. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Thank you for doing this video for us.
@joshreyburn988 I hope it helps! Would love to say "Carrier XYZ" is the best but what works for me may not work for all. It's truly whatever you make it out here!
As someone who currently works for a large trucking company and has been there for a long time, I’ve thought about getting into the RV game. I already know that my 3/4 ton won’t cut the mustard as it’s a lifted 07. Thanks for making this video. And I live by LaPorte
@bigj200016 Thanks for the comment!
3/4 ton trucks are great if you're non-CDL. But if you have a CDL A dually is the way to go. It can even give you the chance to move up from single pull into multi haul with a gooseneck style Shipshe trailer. And it's always good to live close by, especially when things are slow. You can hang out at home but still be near by when it picks up!
Thank you, There are 4 more companies I didn't know about. will look into them tomorrow 👍
Glad I could help! There's even more than what I showed in that collage of carriers, but Adobe only let's you do up to 9 photos at a time 😅
Great informational video Connor! Thx
Glad you liked it!
Very much everything I considered. Only thing I would add is, how do they pay.
Direct deposit, EFS, Comdata etc.
I chose Indiana Transport because they use Comdata. It cost me 1$ to transfer my funds from Comdata to my bank. I find this very reasonable compared to EFS at 3.5% per transfer. With all of the expenses out here, giving up 3.5%, which could be as much as 5k a year just to get paid.... nope, if a company uses EFS I will not pull for them. With all the ways you can pay a driver these days, I do not think the company is looking out for their drivers if they are using this option.
Right now, EFS charges me $1.75 to transfer to my bank and $1.00 for fuel transactions. It used to be a $1.00 for both but guess they weren't getting enough lol. I'll be back on Comdata soon though with the ways things are shaping up
@@CrossbuckRVTransport interesting. A company i almost signed up with told me it was 3.5%. Makes me wonder if its company specific now.
Thanks for the response.
@@RamTruckTrucking it might be. After all my years in and out of the industry at 5 different carriers, they all certainly have little differences. Even with EFS, I've noticed my carrier has different fuel prices than my old (smaller) carrier Classic Transport.
Thanks for the info! Can you talk about single axle vs tandem axle truck and trailer?
Absolutely! I have a big change coming and *fingers crossed* a brand new trailer to replace the single axle I'm pulling now, so I'm planning a video once I have the new trailer. But if there's anything specific you want to know right now ask away!
Are p/u trucks using the ELD?
Only if they're doing multi haul or hauling boats and other things. Single pull towable RVs are ELD exempt
