Transport Companies Seeking RV Transporters
Just about this time last year, historically when the RV Transport industry begins its annual slowdown, we started to hear from all of the RV Transport companies concerning their immediate need for drivers. This was more than welcome after suffering through the 18 months of a recession that saw Elkhart, In. Nearly become a ghost town.
Last month the RVIA (Recreational Vehicle Industry Association) released information stating that RV Shipments totaled 76,000 units in the second quarter of 2010, the largest year-to-year gain the past quarter century. The outsized increase followed record-setting declines due to the recession and credit freeze. Additionally it was stated that the rapid pace of increase will moderate during the year ahead. Total shipments are expected to reach 239,000 in 2010 and 259,600 in 2011.
Although not double digit increases as seen in the industry pre-recession... it's definitely a positive. This positive increase of over 20,000 units translates to more units to be transported to dealerships. Breaking these numbers down we can figure approximately how many transporters will be needed to transport the expected units for 2011.
Using the figure of an average full time transporter transporting 6 new units per month or 72 units per year, the number of transporters needed to deliver these units would be 3,600. This would explain why we are now hearing rumblings from transport companies on the need for more transporters in the next 30 - 60 days.
Due to this, we have created a Mini Workshop for those considering the possibility of becoming an RV Transporter. This extremely affordable ($99.95) RV Transport Mini Workshop has been designed for the express purpose of;
1) Providing the basic facts on transporting RV's
2) Answering your questions concerning the RV Transport Industry.
We can do this via a Virtual Workshop where you will login to our system via the internet in order to view what we are discussing via the phone....no special equipment needed. The topics covered are;
1) Required qualifications
2) Basic equipment needs
3) Income expectation
4) DOT Rules & Reg's
This is followed by a Q & A period where you can ask the questions you need answered before making the decision. Upon completion of this Mini Workshop, you will receive the RV Transport 101 Hardcopy Manual, RV Transport 101 Digital Manual (delivered via email immediately following your Mini Workshop, and the "Hours of Service - A Drivers Handbook (an instruction manual for keeping a DOT logbook) which will be shipped with your RV Transport 101 Hardcopy Manual.
