As 2024 winds down, the RV transport industry is entering a pivotal moment. With evolving manufacturing trends, fluctuating sales, and increasing demand for reliable transport services, staying informed is more important than ever. Let’s take a closer look at the major developments shaping RV transport and what they mean for dealerships, transport companies, and partners like you.
As RV sales stabilize, dealerships are prioritizing just-in-time inventory. This has led to an 8% increase in transport requests in Q4 2024 compared to the same period last year. Like many logistics sectors, RV transport is grappling with a shortage of skilled drivers. This is creating opportunities for companies to attract and retain talent with competitive pay and benefits.
Dealers expect faster, more reliable deliveries to meet rising customer demands for same-week service. Transporters must prioritize efficiency without compromising safety. Dealers are using storage as a buffer when managing high inventory turnover during peak sales periods. Transport companies that combine storage and delivery services are gaining an edge by simplifying logistics for their clients.
