The past 2 years the RV industry has suffered tremendously
from the impact of the downward spiral of the economy.
So much that Elkhart, In received national attention for
the pain it was feeling since the bulk of their economy was focused on the
RV industry.
With much patience, hard work and perseverance the
industry is beginning it's turnaround and RV Transporters are needed!

In the past many transporters have entered the industry
with little or no experience. In turn they have lost money, equipment was
damaged (be it their own or the unit they were transporting), all due to
their lack of knowledge, and much more.
"...I feel that this
info needs to get in the hands of anyone who might even be thinking about
getting in the [RV Transport] business."
M. Schrock - President Horizon Transport
When a transporter is contracted, he or she is put through an orientation.
This orientation doesn't teach them to be a transporter (let alone a
profitable one), it teaches the way the company wants things done (i.e.
paperwork, check calls, dispatch...).
After years of transporting, and being profitable, we wondered why others
were failing. The answer that kept presenting itself was that the new
transporter was making mistakes. Costly mistakes that ate at their bottom
line. These mistakes included improper hook-ups, pushing too hard or not
hard enough, spending numerous thousands of dollars that could have been
saved, not knowing traffic patterns, taking bad loads, and the list goes on
and on.
The knowledge you'll gain from our RV Transport Services comes from nearly
two decades of transportation industry experience. This experience includes
big trucks, being an owner operator, owning a small fleet, brokering, and of
course RV transportation.
We have designed RV Transport Consulting Packages that will benefit the new
as well as the experienced RV Transporter. In addition we have made
available stand alone tools such as the RV Transport Manual that will assist
the transporter as they begin or continue in their career.
All RV Transport Packages begin with a one-on-one Workshop, no matter your
experience level. This assures that everyone is on the same page as we move
forward. Below are topics covered in the RV Transport Workshop.
