New cars and pickup trucks
are delivered on trucks to the dealerships that sell them. But just
about every other type of new vehicle is driven to the dealerships and
customers. We never see RVs, ambulances, UPS delivery vans, school
busses, etc., on trucks. And that is why.
This is the latest version of the
ONLY complete handbook & guide that has ever been written to enable
people to enter the workforce of those who deliver brand-new
recreational and specialty vehicles. In the 29 years that it has been in
print, in successive editions, it has made it possible for more than
250,000 people to discover and enjoy this stress-free and most enjoyable
travel lifestyle. Today, it serves as the primary gateway by which
new drivers enter this unique job.
Typical earnings for full-time single drivers (who comprise 60% of the workforce) range in 2008
from $50,000 - $60,000/year, and full-time couples (who comprise 40% of the workforce) typically pull down
$65,000 - $80,000/year. As for seasonal work -- when doing this job for 10 consecutive weeks in the summer, earnings of from $13,000 to $15,000
for that time frame, for a single driver, are realistic.
Interestingly, the number of
people who are doing this job currently is approximately 100,000. Half
of them are full-time drivers, and the other half do it part-time in
some manner. (One-tenth of them do it only on weekends, and have a
completely different job during the week. They typically earn an extra
$200-350/week that way.)
Every summer, thousands of
college students and teachers join the regular workforce. They are needed
by the industry because production rates are highest at that time of year.
Serendipitously, just as the summer vacation period ends and all these extra
workers return to school, the production rates drop back to normal levels. Then,
the regular workforce is able to handle the demand again, without the
supplemental assistance.
One-third of all these drivers
(most of whom are ordinary people from all walks of life -- not
truck drivers) are OVER age 65. There is no upper age limit. In terms of
providing access to enjoyable, meaningful, decently-paying, and
stress-free employment, this IS the most senior-friendly industry in the
USA and Canada.
