Shortage of RV transporters.
RV industry short 2000 drivers for transporting RV's. If it was more lucrative I bet they wouldn't be short drivers. http://www.rvbusiness.com/2014/04/rvia-meeting-addresses-rv-transport-concerns-2...

That ad just popped up on mine. I went to the FAQ page and here is the pay scale:
Units up to 28' = $1.30 per mile
Units 28'-35' = $1.37 per mile
Units over 35' = $1.45 per mile
All units out of Pendleton OR = $1.22
All pay is per "loaded mile". In other words, you are paid per mile while you are pulling a rig.
I just interacted with 4 delivery drivers in a few months. I got talking to 2 of them. Their pay way $1.16/loaded mile from Goshen, IN. Coming east, they would get a $0.10/mile increase due to tolls. They also would receive $0.10/mile increase if they were pulling a CDL load such as my camper (e.g. combined weight in excess of 26,000 pounds).
The 2 lucky guys who got to take my camper back to the factory *LOVED* me. They normally don't have return loads (and thus don't normally get paid for the return trip).
All 4 loved the job.
All 4 had quad-cab or crew cab trucks. Each removed the back seat and built a platform bed in its place.
2 or 3 drove with dogs in the truck with them. None had spouses driving with them.
