Driving and Delivering Buses / Trucks?

I'm a returning driver and have a lead on a job where I would pick up manufactured vehicles, drive them to customers, and fly home. I happen to live close to one of these manufacturers who make Garbage Trucks. After delivery, I can fly straight home or if another customer is close to my delivery, just get in another vehicle to deliver it.

I would have to stay at motels since many of these vehicles will not have a sleeper compartment.

The company I'm talking to is Advanced Auto Transport: http://www.aatransport.net/

I'm also talking to people at Schneider with a possibility of Intermodel between Green Bay, WI and Chicago. This delivery gig seems interesting getting a chance to drive many different vehicles, but Schneider would be a more regular job.

 

Not sure what I would carry with me since I'd have to usually fly back. Probably just hit the road with a carry on bag and my laptop.

Fortunately, I'm not a smoker, but I've been even thinking about my coffee habit or road snacks. Maybe in the vehicle I'll just have bottled water if I want a drink. I'm not messing around with crumbs from snacks or any thing that could spill and leave a stain.

 

Well, orientation is set for this gig, so I'll see how it goes. I'm intrigued with the idea of this job and feel at the least driving a variety of vehicles will add to my experience and open doors to other opportunities.

I do happen to live close to another town manufacturing Loadmaster Garbage Trucks, so I think delivering those will be my main job.

 

The employer covers the cost of the flight or rental car to get me back home.

I think it's some vehicles are being delivered to my location, so in some situations, I might get a paid backhaul making more money instead of sitting on a plane.
