This board is full of people who have not quite cracked open (purchased) their first egg, and plenty who have. I don't see myself driving this trailer from West to East, but it isn't hard to imagine that I could be interested & well qualified for something similar. I think manufacturers in the Elkhart area use retirees all the time for their deliveries. Forget about me, what are some of the questions to have for a driver?
Relevant experience - for example, CDL (Commercial License)
Clean print out of driving record.
Possible background check, or resume with institutional references.
Might the driver post a security deposit/bond or something similar?
Whose insurance would cover what? Mine, yours, or manufacturers?
Evidence of insurance, if applicable.
Pre-agreed upon way points or trip check points. Even if just a selfie pic at the entry to a state.
Tolls, fee, & expense reimbursement. Breakdowns,
tires.
Tow vehicle?
Haul on flatbed, or tow on road?
Are they allowed to sleep in the new trailer? ...cook? ...shower? (I'd be ok if they slept in a sleeping bag, but I would not want the smell of fish fried in garlic, nor my grey & black tanks filled upon delivery).
I'd want to draw up an agreement listing authorized driver(s) and other terms. Sometimes you can find these on the internet. (Hint: RV rental agreements).
I hate to admit it, but there are a few trailers that I would almost pay to spend a couple days experiencing them.
Other suggested questions?
