Awesome. Thank ya'll for sharing. Trucker for years, currently escorting oversize. Soon to buy a truck and hopefully get on with a RV transport company.
Awesome!!! You're going to love it! If you ever need any info just message us or call. If you want, and, you end up going with Synergy, put us down as a referral!!
Lol! I know nothing about video, but, I'm learning! I hope to have another one posted in the next day or so. Just having fun. Thank you for subscribing!
hi ! thanks for watching! go to Dan's Service and Hitch in Elkhart, Indiana...they will install the certified woodhouse sleeper in your truck and they will give you the D.O.T papers that go with it.. give them at least 2 days to work on it and call about 2 weeks before you want it done to make an appointment.
Hey y'all. Just wondering, do y'all pull any gooseneck loads? If you do (I have a 14 Ram 3500 dually with a Curt 5th wheel), how do you move it by yourself (say Cheryl does it by herself-I solo drive so am trying to find out how to do it without hurting me) to get it out of the way to use the gooseneck ball?
Hello! How do you split the 14 hours and how exactly does it get logged on the eld? Trying to do the same thing and not sure what the correct way to do it is.
Hi Melissa, We don't run an ELD. So, I can't give you advice on that. But I'll tell you how we do it: 14 hour shift. Of that 14 you have 11 hours of "driving time" Show at least a 15 min. P.T.I when you start in the morning. Show a 30 min. Break sometime before you've driven 8 hours. That's all you are required to show if you are in a motorhome or driving a pickup. ( if you have a semi , you must show a 15 min post trip inspection) Hope that helps If you stop at a rest area and make it less than 7 min... you don't have to show you stopped at all. When fueling, getting permits, delivering, etc... log as On -duty not driving.
Oh, thank you Tracy for visiting our channel! I know nothing about how this TH-cam thingy works..but, I'm learning! We are starting with Synergy on the 5th. Hope to see you on the road! Loved the live chat y'all did! Mabey, one day we'll get to do that!
family greetings from Miami, I follow you because I am already in the process of getting a 1 million insurance from the company and buying the truck, how could I apply to transport an RV or do you work as a dispatcher?, thanks for all your teaching
We are RV transporters drivers for Synergy RV Transport. Google them . Fill out an application and put "Transport Bandits" down as a referral. Or call them and speak with a recruiter over the phone.
Nice setup and thanks for all the great videos! Could you tell me how tall your auxiliary tank is? I have a backflip on order and trying to figure out the tallest tank that will fit safely underneath the tonneau.
the tallest point, which is the filler cap.. measures 19". If you go to Dan's Service Center for your tank install ( I just posted that latest video) He will fit it exactly to your specifications! watch Video number 89 Dan's Service Center: your one stop shop to outfit your truck for RV Transport..I just uploaded it today!
hey! thanks for watching! we got that tool box at Dan's Service Center! they will install it for you too! give Ryan a call and mention you saw it on Transport Bandits!
Hi Phil, sorry for the delay in response, been driving all day. excluding the sleeper berth (cause you dont need that) probably around $4500 for everything installed
@@TransportBandits Big thx, Really love watching you guys. you both rock. Stay safe sorting out financing not much longer I hope, Looking forward to meeting you both
Did you watch the RV Nordic Couple? Although they have moved on to a different career. She would do a driveaway RV and he would pull a 5th wheel camper and they would deliver very close to each other and drive back to Indiana together.........that's one of the best money maker plans and it works great for couples. Also, the tunnel cover will get you better gas mileage on the dead head back to Indiana. Keep the videos coming on your journey!
yes, some of their videos.not sure what to think about them? lol! But, We are looking ahead to making that a real possibility too. I think we could make some real money doing driveaway and tows and riding back together. So yes, That is a great money plan.
@@TransportBandits Agreed..........not to sure what to think of them.....lol. Their videos were WAY to LONG so please stay on topic with yours as you have :)))))
@@Sourcemaster100 Hi Anthony! we will be out of orientation on Jan 6th to take our 1st load! im excited to start this new business and new chapter in our lives! hope to meet you in the yard or on the road! Be safe and have a merry Christmas!
Dan's Service Center in Elkhart. We can't say enough good things about them. They were so helpful and have just about anything you want in stock if you give them a couple of days for install. ( It took them 4 days for all the installs including the sleeper Berth.

The 350.. because we fill it is the best for the job. It's just made for hauling, not touch strain on the truck. 4 over 6: many reasons. Some are: maintenance cost, fuel economy, and the dually didn't do well in bad weather conditions.
Also, dually is cumbersome to manuever around...like drive through a and carwashes. The fifth wheels do not hit tool box or tailgate...have to let the tailgate down though when hooking up. We have a long bed truck.
Great Video ! Question for you on the sleeper berth. I know your doing some team driving but I keep hearing about the DOT mandating that same sleeper berth even for a single driver ! Have the two of you heard of that ? Great job on the videos and stay safe out there. Daniel.
Nope. That's fake news! The certified sleeper birth ( only a Woodhouse) is only for when the wheels are rolling. Never log sleeper birth if you are a single driver. Just "off duty". You can only log sleeper birth if you have a Certified sleeper and the truck is in motion. ( By another driver) and one is taking his mandatory 10 hours off.
Also, we are team Driving now...but not in our Ford ...we are in our Ram which has a bed built in the back, but, not a certified SB. So, me and Jeff switch off driving thoughout the 14 hour shift but then have to stop for the required 10 and log "Off Duty".
It is better for us, in our situation. The Ram was an older model got worse fuel milage. The Ford is newer and more comfortable. But, either truck is great. Everyone has different preferences and situations. So, I would not say one is better than the other.
Just found you guys. I just got approved to haul for Horizon. I am fixing to set up my rig and was going to get Dan as well. Do you care to explain why you went with a electric pump and gravity fed. Most guys tell me to do just gravity fed. But I want what makes my job easier. I’m not rich but I too look at it as an investment. I had rather pay more now than pay more down the road. Thanks for the great video maybe I will see you guys down the road some day.
Jeff thought electrical toggle would make everything easier. But, when we had to get Doc ( the Ram) fixed up, we decided to go just gravity fed. It is working just fine. We recommend the gravity feed. Unless, you just want the small advantage of not getting out of your truck to flip the switch. Hope this helps.
I am leaning towards getting a Ford but have not decided yet between the F250 and F350. Can you explain why you went with the F350? I can see advantages for each. Thanks!
Not sure I would ‘advertise’ that you know nothing about RV transport if you’re trying to get into the RV transport business. Doesn’t instill confidence in a customer that has spent upwards of $200k in an RV to hire out someone that doesn’t know what they are going with my investment. Good luck in your new business but I’m not hiring you.
Also, this video you commented on was before we ever pulled our first commercial camper!!!!! Over 2 1/2 years ago! Of course we knew knew nothing yet! Geez!
Nice truck
Thanks 👍
nice truck set up

We do not have the gooseneck ball.
There are not many companies that require a gooseneck. We have never hauled a gooseneck with Synergy.

Thank you Glenn! We will try our best to make it work!
Where do ya'll hook the safety chains for a fifthwheel when you pull one?
There are no safety chains on a fifth wheel. Only a breakaway cable that hooks to the bed of our truck that Dan's installed on the tire well.
