RV Transport Driver
Has anyone ever done this and if so what are your experiences? I have thought about doing it but want to do some research before I jump into something I might regret later on.

I am no expert on this but from what I understand the RV Transport Driver is an independent contractor so he doesn't have to be contracted with one company. He can be contracted with companies in other states and can return back to his home base. There is also a National Pass with Amtrak and Greyhound you can use to travel back.
I don't believe drivers are allowed to use anything in the RV and if something is messed up the driver is in trouble. I don't understand how pocketing the per diem is against company policy. What they give you is yours to spend on the trip and you keep the rest.

A couple of years ago I talked to some drivers who delivered RVs. They said it is common for drivers to throw a sleeping bag on the bed and then stop at the closest grocery store with easy in/out access and buy groceries for the trip. They live in the RV for the trip - and pocket the per diem, even though it is against company policy.
