Hauling RV campers with diesel dually pickup truck? I have a plan to haul RV campers for a company in Elkhart, Indiana. (about 1 1/2 hours east of me).. I will be buying a GMC sierra 3500 4x4 dually pickup truck, with a 4 door cab, 8 foot bed, and 6.6L diesel engine.
The company required 'add-ons' that are needed, are an additional $1500.00 on top of the price of the truck..
I want to know if there is anyone on this board who knows if this is worth doing or not. I just plan on doing weekends for about a year, then I plan on starting an LLC, and going into business for myself-- If everything works out.
The average pay for doing this is between $.80 - $1.05 a mile (depending on the run)
I will have to carry $500k to $1m worth of coverage on my truck to cover non-trucking liabilities, I have to pay for fuel, and road expenses (food/hotels), even if I am only working weekends.
I want to know is the RV industry "steady work"-- all year around??
hopefully someone can give me some insight.
I currently hold a class A cdl license in Indiana, with all trucking endorsements. |
