    I can't wait to see the trip footage, when you have time to edit it of course!
    Honestly, and it's an unpopular opinion, but I think the damage escrow is really low considering our line of work. Most semi truck carriers require at least a $1500 escrow when leasing on, and their cargo is generally protected inside a trailer. Ours of course is at a greater risk of driver damage. And despite inflation, the escrow has stayed at $1500 at least since I did my first load back in 2018.
    So that's my unpopular opinion on it, especially as a multi haul driver who has to have a x2 damage escrow.

    Hey William, thank you for the videos. Forgive me if you’ve talked about this already, but I have a question about the transport company you work for. I couldn’t find it on their website, but what are their rules for having a passenger in your vehicle while transporting? I had started the process to start driving for a different company a few years ago and they said it was not permitted unless that passenger is another qualified transport driver. I ended up not starting the job, but may revisit the idea again. Thank you for your time.

    When you go out west do you normally end up doing a reset or are you able to make it back home

    • @TheRiverstoneLife
      @TheRiverstoneLife  4 місяці тому

      Just depends on how far out west you go (and the time it takes to get there - weather permitting) or if you drive less than 9 hours a day to stretch it out - you don’t have to do a reset.

    All you need is a single axle 2500 To do this business 90% of this business. I saw a lady show up to orientation with an f450 she didn’t have a cdl. That truck is absolutely meaningless for her.

    Cdl kills the truck so no don’t pay to do it , they way is does pay to have cdl is when the law tells you nothing over ten thousand on your trailer if you don’t have cdl. Ok if trailer is over ten thousand you by law half to have a cdl. But rv transport says you can haul twenty six thousand and under your truck weight and trailer weight combined can’t weigh more than twenty six thousand pounds if you have a class F license in some states it called other names in mine it’s and F that is what you need to haul RV transport. Or the right officer will give you a bad day. Chauffeur is another name I believe for that licensing.
