Define "trucking industry".

Driving? - yep - many dealerships have on call drivers to shuttle trucks from dealership to dealership.

Service or other such things in any dealership also might have part time positions.

Why dont you check with the RV manufactures in that area.

Check with the companies in your area. Some companies will hire a driver for "part-time" to take runs when the regular drivers are on vacation. It's a "fill-in" job if that's what you want.

This is what I do and if you live near a larger city you can work for more then 1 dealership and keep fairly busy. Don't expect much pay wise. I make $8-$10 per hour shuttling trucks for 2 different dealerships.
