can't pay full rate, but beats going back empty. flexible schedule.

Please PM if interested...
Is this a regular haul or just a 1 time gig?

"2005 3500 2wd custom built 48re with billet input and intermediate shafts with triple disk lockup converter, with hand rolled pipe in breather tube, Predator Power chip, AST exhaust manifold, 5" Turbo back exhaust pipe, and a rollover hitch pulling loads up to 26,000lbs coast to coast on a 48' flatbed.
2006 3500 2wd with G56 6 speed, SBC flywheel/clutch/master cylinder and a BMW rollover hitch pulling loads up to 26,000lbs coast to coast on a 48' flatbed."

Do you have a CDL to run this or can you stay busy while staying under 26,000 lbs? Im asking because I am thimking of doing this as well. I have eyes on a 2014 RAM with a big sleeper on it. I know I can get haul outs of RVs from Indiana where I live but there are no back hauls and a trailer at least you can get on uship or something like it and maybe find back loads. I am 51 and need to find a new career. I dont want to drive a semi. I want something more hot shot sized.

Are you contracted directly through the oil fields? Are using a trailer of your own and staying below 26000 GVWR ? Asking because I am wanting a new career path.

I have not personally experienced these kinds of situations, but I am impressed by your strategies and cost cutting formulas. Good luck in your new venture for what you are using your RV.
