RV Transport Chronicles: Overcoming Hurdles and Making Money on My First Multi-Haul Adventure!

Hi Matt, I want to let you know when I saw your video last winter you inspired me. I have had a bad run of health problems and unemployment sitting around the house. In the past 6 months I have went from 300 to 275LBS with my blood pressure starting at 190/110 and yesterday it was 154/84. My doctor said when I lose 15 more pounds my BP should drop closer to normal range (120/80). Then I am going to contact classic transport and apply for a job using you as a referral. It has been a longtime since I have been excited! Keep on trucking down the road and making money along with posting videos, really enjoy watching how RV transport works.

Personally do the full CDL and get the proper registration and permits or whatever you need that way you’re not limiting yourself and having to do public school math to figure out how much fuel and cargo straps weigh so you’re not running illegal.

Mad respect for you going out and doing it, and then sharing it all with the world. Keep it going, and keep us all riding with you, its allot of fun to watch and learn from you.

12000 lbs winch ~ $400 on Amazon. Bought one 2 years ago for rv transport. Easy can pull 8000 lbs trailers with no issues at all.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR UNDER 26K ITS ALL ABOUT YOUR COMBINED GVWR I LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY

My 2024 Ram Bighorn 3500 cc 4wd sb HO Cummins GVWR 11,800 payload 3,800 but by the time add accessories I lost several hundred lbs. You're absolutely right about gas pumps, I got stuck in WV with my 1/2 ton & 24' camper, station was empty but while filling up a bunch of cars pulled in & I was stuck 😅

Don't forget to put your BOL in your ELD fella, if not it's a violation.

I'm a hardcore offroader. I'm not a harbor freight fan at all, but.... Their Badlands Apex 12000k winch is as good as a Warn for a third of the price. I'm going to be retiring from being a machinist in the next year and I'm going to start doing the rv transport as well. Keep up with the good info!

Overhead is way lower for a gas vehicle maintenance is way lower for a gas vehicle. However, diesel gets better economy and more power, better longevity depending on how you take care of your vehicle

Great channel, you are sharp

Hi Matt...very important Eld advice..don't use Persoanl Convinience...only because weather...or Mayor Personal Emergency...Not every day...or you be punish with a big fine by DOT officer....avoid problems.!! Good job !!! Good luck.!!!

Dually also reduces trailer sway on fifth wheels. Winch Open Road 4x4 Panther Series II around $400 for a 13,000lb. I love them

Welcome to the world of trucking or in your case RV hauling. Make alot spend alot.

I just bought a used shipshe step I have 2 winches on it and now I’m doing a $800 break job before I can even get started

Dude, I'm supposed to start in August. I don't think this is for me now. Thanks for the info bro..

The money’s better, the stress is higher!

You're taking a very big gamble with being over length and almost surely over 26000 GCWR. The only way you're not over GCWR with the 14000 GVWR of your truck, is if your trailer is rated exactly 12000. And then on top of it, you're tearing up a 1-ton dually rather than loafing along in a cheaper, more efficient, more aerodynamic, more professional, more comfortable, and safer HDT. And then there's the whole issue of getting the right amount of weight onto the truck vs the trailer, even if we ignore the GCWR problem. You're between a rock and a hard place by staying non-CDL plus needing to run right at the non-CDL scale limit, while exceeding the GCWR limit. You've got a CDL and are acting like you don't. Use it! Hit the reset button. Find a nice used Volvo with a sleeper and APU, before you find the tail wagging the dog. It will at least get your rig to be legal. Right now, every time you go through a weigh station, your concern shouldn't be just the weight, it should be an inspector looking to bust a hotshot violating the rules, because that's exactly what you are. Likewise, any cop who pulls you over for anything, will have the ability to really ruin your day, and not even have to let you continue to your destination.

Where are you? Haven't seen you post in a while.

Could you find small hot shot loads for back hauls so you’re not dead heading back to Goshen?

It might get you piece of mind when you get back to Texas, might have your trailer friend go through your break system?
