Good info. D.E.F. is a fairly new gov, mandate forced on us, so the truck stop storage tanks are new, and most are above ground. I hauled a helium trailer all over the country thru the winters, including Co., Ut. and Canada just mention a few. I heard a couple drivers talking about someone they new that had freeze up issues with the def, but never spoke to anyone that had it happen to them. I was fortunate, never had happen to me. Good luck and safe travels.
I've been planning getting into hot shot/rv transport. I was going to slowly get into it. I'm a welder. I have a full time job. But I'm evolving into another trade. All the information is very useful. Keep it up. Your doing a good job. Thanks for all the information 👍
Thanks for sharing, we appreciate your support!
Thank you. Thank you, guys. I was going down the list of stuff from Wave and getting them from Amazon. The same printer on (11.15.24) was $136, it's now $95. From your list of what I was to get, I saved close to $350 ++. Thanks. 😀🥰
That is awesome - we are glad we could help!

Just a note, I called Wave to ask them a question and they mentioned that nothing could be above 6" above the bed rails. I told them I was not planning on hauling 5th wheels and they s a id everyone now needs to be able to haul a 5th wheel. So I just signed up with Horizon. Thank you for the videos as they are informative and interesting. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for letting us know your experience with Wave. We wanted to verify that the information you received was accurate so we contacted President Joe from Wave for his feedback. We were told that a fifth wheel hitch is listed as required standard equipment HOWEVER they do sign trucks on without the fifth wheel hitch if they have all the other stuff. Unfortunately, it sounds like someone from Wave miscommunicated - ☹.
Congratulations on your new adventures with Horizon and safe travels out there! Btw -Thank you for your positive feedback - we appreciate it!
Nice video and setup. That green cougar is awesome.
Thank you! We agree that green cougar is awesome and hauled great too!
Keep up the good work. Watch your videos very regularly.
We appreciate you watching! Thanks for the support!
Just a word of advice. Def at truckstop have been known to freeze during the winter. Always good to have a jug.
Thanks for sharing, that's great advice!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!! We appreciate the love!!
My setup is similar in a Ram Megacab. When the back seat folds down, the bottom goes straight down and the seat back lays down on top of it with a hinged cargo ledge in back to become a full flat cargo platform that is full side-to-side width and 40" front to back (I don't have the under bed storage you have...so, no microwave). A twin mattress (same type of foam mattress as you have) is 38" wide and 75" long and I cut off 10" to fit side to side.
My 12v compressor chest fridge (like the one you have) sits on that 2" ledge left of the cargo platform and I move the passenger seat back to wedge it in tight so it is level and doesn't bounce around. I have water and food storage under the fridge, the font passenger seat has my 'patrol bag' for the cab book, transport book, some misc. office supplies, etc., and my small clothes duffel and waterproof boots go in the passenger foot-well. I use a 12v mug and 12v lunch box for heating drinks and food but they take 45 to 60 minutes to get things hot so that just means I have to plan ahead.
I am 5'6" so I can easily sleep fully flat on my back when diagonal across the mattress if I want. I do not have a heater for the cab and have only had to run the truck for heat when it drops below 20F and that is really more to ensure the diesel doesn't gel. I do this by staying in bed and using the remote start since the engine will run for 15 min and shuts itself off. Doing this every 2 to 4 hours depending on temp keeps the gel gremlins away. Growing up in Minnesota & Wisconsin, I actually sleep better when it is cold. I do have a mattress pad, twin sheet set (I use the elastic bands with clips on the ends for sheets to keep the sheets on the shortened mattress) , a good fleece blanket and throw, then a 0 degree heavy sleeping bag with flannel interior and canvas exterior (cozy and toasty). When It is warmer, I usually sleep on top of the sleeping bag with either the blanket or throw depending on temps. I also have a 12v fan clipped to the the passenger seat headrest post so I can run it when I sleep or am just lounging to keep airflow and have white noise. The fridge lid/top acts as my night stand for glasses, watch, book, phone, etc.,.
The one thing I do have is semi-standing room since the Megacab is about 10" longer so when I move & lean the driver seat fully forward (easy to put everything back since my truck has the 2 memory settings controlling seats, pedals, and mirrors at the touch of a button - I have one set for regular driving, the other for towing) there is a really good area (about 16") of full floor to ceiling area where I can get dressed or move around a bit. This also makes it so I get in and out of the sleeping area from the driver side rear door which is a bit easier for my aging carcass!
Thanks for sharing your setup! We really appreciate the detailed explanation, and it's great to see how different trucks can be customized for RV transport.
Big thank you on the mattress. You and I are about the same size and I have been concerned to make a good choice!!!
Glad I could help! Thanks for commenting!
Great video...how are you powering your refrigerator and freezer?
@@TimRobinson-h8i 12 V plug-in in the truck as long as I start the truck every three days my batteries don’t go dead. If I’m gonna leave it for a long period of time then I just unplug it.
Thanks, my 2024 GMC doesn't have the 12volt plug ins
@ it doesn’t have it in the backseat area in the center council like ours below the vents ? Those refrigerators also come with the 110 plug-in, but that only works in our truck when the truck is running.
You could always add one

Nice truck setup sir. How's the load going on?.. is it back to normal? or still not busy?..
Thank you - appreciate it! Load board fluctuates daily - doesn't look like it did 2 months ago but it's keeping us busy.
@TheRiverstoneLife good for you sir.
Enjoyed your video great job!
We're glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Another great video Will, really appreciate the effort and all the detail. Super helpful information. Hope to see you on the road. Dan
Thanks, Dan! We hope to see you out there too!
Another great video. Thank you. Keep it up.
We're glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the video William!!
Thanks for watching!
Appreciate the video and your time but lose the shades ..it’s cloudy skies and and your the trainer/teacher …keep on trucking👍🏻
FYI they are prescription transition lenses aka they change to dark when the sun is out so obviously there was some sun when this video was taken. Thx for commenting!
@ love the videos and be out there with you soon…my apologies❤️👍🏻
@wendellgayheart9228 no worries 😌 safe travels!
Great video. Always a pleasure to watch a positive person in transport. What type of heater do you have?
Thanks - appreciate your positive feedback!

20 years or newer lame would have to finance if I wanted to do this and I'm trying to get out of that.
Thanks for commenting!
While they do advertise that when I was hired on a few months back a fella with a 2002 f350 that was pretty rusty and dusty was hired on as well I asked him about it and they said they didn't say a word about it
@@mattchristman9565 Thanks, still need to see what I end up with will probably be a few more months.
Does wave require a towing/backing test when doing orientation? If so do you think they would let you/would you be willing to go do it again and record it for us? I’d love to see what’s involved with that process
Great question. They do not require a towing/backing test when doing orientation.
@ ohh ok cool. I’ve seen where some do and wasn’t sure if they all did. Good to know!
Yes I’m glad you made it through the snow and still have a great truck lol
Thank you - appreciate it! Thanks for commenting!
I have 91 gallon with toolbox tank that fits below bed level for sale if interested.
Nice! Price and location?
@@TheRiverstoneLife 750 Located in SE Ohio right on us 33
Hit the thumbs 👍 everyone! Best vid on internet!
None of my beeswax “but” I encourage you and Robin to consider a nice looking headache rack. Easy for me to say and their not for everyone’s taste.
Thanks so much for the kind words and the recommendation! We appreciate it!
Nice video … I noticed that you didn’t have any triangles…but thanks again I appreciate all information you provided
Thank you! Appreciate the positive feedback. Great catch - I have them they are just buried in the toolbox with a lot of other stuff. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@
what about Ifta? …is the company taking care of that?… does your company that you work for …what type of trailers can you use gooseneck trailers or step decks?… to move multiple RVs
Delete your def, best thing you could ever do, better fuel mileage and easier on your motor
Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
@@Harleyben02 Deleting on gmc is a pain
@@bradtaulbee8620 it is a bigger pain to keep it, I took out everything on my 2020 W900L and installed a 1999 3406 550 cat best thing I ever did
is the rv transport boards picking up now that elections are over?
We don't think the election changed anything - as of right now BUT we are still keeping busy.. curious to see what happens in 2025.
@@TheRiverstoneLife I was considering changing over from trucking to rv transport. is there enough work to do right now or should I wait a bit?
I called everyday last week for a load never got a single call back they are few and far between now if i had a cdl their were a few leftover i work for horizon which owns wave as well @isedie
