Commercial Transporters- Got a few questions

I've been recently doing some local moving of fifth wheel trailers for a neighbor who owns a towing company and doesn't want to deal with it. I know it's probably not legal because I don't have the additional insurance and bonds and all the necessary crap, But I was wondering what is really necessary to do this on a for hire basis. I remember reading in a previous thread somewhere about a member who works for Jet Transport, and I think a couple of other guys are out there moving RV's as well. I've even gone so far as contemplating a larger truck to do it with (medium duty). Anyone with any comments or suggestions feel free to fling 'em over. Specifically those who are currently involved in it.
