(Frequently Asked Questions)
Is this year round business or seasonal? Back to top
RV Industry shipment information and data.
We are busy with movements in both divisions all year round. Your activity is determined by you, as long as you maintain the minimum or above.
Can we get two loads together? Back to top
Yes, there are times when dispatch has multiple loads going in similar directions. It is often possible to match trailer deliveries with driveaway units as well.
Do I have to log empty miles? Back to top
No, upon delivering a unit, D.O.T. will allow you to log off duty - provided there is sufficient down-time between the end of your commute and the next departure. You are required to maintain a complete duty-status record, including all off-duty logs.
Do I need a cell phone? Back to top
Horizon requires all contractors have an active home and cell phone. Cell phones help ensure effective, instant communication. When we have a reload to offer, we want to call you! Just like that, your cell phone expense will be offset by the money you make when we call you for load opportunities.
Do you have a dress code? Back to top
At the request of our customers, drivers at the terminal and at delivery points are required to be dressed and groomed professionally. This means ankle-length pants and a collared shirt, or blouse. Tank tops, cut-off shorts or any unprofessional apparel are unacceptable. Additionally, Horizon contracts with professionals. As such, all are required to have excellent hygiene. (Time spent driving a vehicle can be heated and thus produce body odor. Manage your hygiene accordingly!) The quality of your delivery services enables Horizon to build a better business.
What is your smoking policy? Back to top
No smoking is allowed in any vehicle delivered by Horizon Transport. A violation of this rule will result in discontinuation of a contractor's services.
Where do I deliver to? Back to top
All Horizon Transport drivers are expected to deliver to all parts of the U.S. and Canada. This ensures maximum customer service performance.
Do I have to pay a pickup fee? Back to top
Horizon does charge a small vehicle-staging or "pull-in" fee for each unit you are assigned to deliver. We have local contractors who are staging vehicles in our shipping yard for you, from the factory. The fee can range from $10 to $30 per unit. This is a standard fee in our industry. This service saves our contractors bunches of time.
May I receive credit for my safety miles from my current company Back to top
You may only transfer current safety miles if you are currently working for a "similar RV industry transporter". To qualify you must be an active contractor for a "like company" within 30 days of Horizon lease-on date. You must submit an official company document itemizing earned mileage total. All mileage documents will be subject to validation.
Is there a minimum activity policy? Back to top
We require contractors to complete 1 or more trips in any 30 day period.

NO. The units are not properly setup for propane usage.
Can I sleep in a driveaway unit? Back to top
Yes. Many of the vehicles we ship will have a couch. We ask that you not disrupt the bedding area. Be prepared with a sleeping bag. A contractor will not be able to log sleeper berth time in any driveaway vehicle.
What more does Horizon do for its contractors? Back to top
In 2003 we had our first annual Driver Fest. This is an annual function held at the Wakarusa, IN location. It is a chance for contractors to get together with fellow contractors and staff and have some fun.
