CWRV Delivery
I am thinking of signing up with CWRV delivering trailers. Any comments? Current contractors wanting to refer?

So what's interesting in all of this is that I recently interacted with 4 delivery drivers due to a botched factory return. Here's what I picked up from them:
1) All 4 had quad or crew cab trucks. All 4 had taken the back seat out and made it into a sleeping area.
2) I chatted 2 of the 4 up about licensing requirements. They said that *my* trailer required a CDL due to its size (GVWR 15,825) and they got a 10-cent per mile stipend for it. I got the impression that if you were pulling a smaller trailer, the CDL wasn't required.
3) All 4 spoke highly of the profession and said that they enjoyed it.
4) The comments above are accurate- they're only paid for miles with a trailer in tow. The return trip is on their own. In fact, many drivers dislike driving east from Indiana due to tolls.
5) The warranty manager for my brand said that the driver's aren't supposed to, but often times they'll sleep in the units.
