I may have the opportunity to drag some RV trailers around for one of two different hauling companies.
I've driven trucks and trailers of all sizes, have a South Carolina class F license (http://www.scdmvonline.com/DMVNew/default.aspx?n=class_e_and_f_licenses)
I pulled my record on one of those online thingies and it's clean. No accidents. I can pass the medical and pee test.
Truck is a '16 F350 SRW w/ 3kmi on it - yea, nearly new. It needs a few little things like wide mud flaps, a set of triangles and a fire extinguisher to be compliant with the company rules, but NBD. I've still got all the goodies off my '12, some need refurb like the shocks, but the 50gal, traction bars and airbags can go right in - I just need to do the job. It's not d3leted...yet.
The extra insurance should be possible, though I need to check into this and it's cost.
I think I'll qualify and should get hired. Certainly can't see any reason why not - other than I live 700mi from the companies.
I hate the thought of racking up a ton of miles on it, but to be frank, I could use some extra cabbage right about now and the idea of making the truck pay it's own way appeals to me.
I'm sure a ton of you guys hot shot, so I thought I'd ask, what do I need to be aware of? Can I actually make $12k/mo doing this or are the blowing smoke up my tail? Are these RV/Boat hauling companies good to their hires or are they nickle and diming you on everything?
LMK and thanks in advance.
