About RV Transport 101
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 away 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.
History has proven that many RV transporters 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/or understanding of the industry.
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...).
We have designed RV Transport 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.
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.
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 many of the topics covered in the RV Transport Workshop.
