    What is going on with Chrysler hauling cars. It used to be against Federal law for a manufacture to haul their own cars. Now I see some trucks with Chrysler on the door, appear to be shuttle traffic because they come back north on I75 empty but that is just a guess. Seems these days every union is out to screw the other ones. No wonder unions are have such a hard time these days. No Brotherhood.

    Chrysler has a Canadian fleet, can't remember the exact name, though. Bunch of my FB buddies see them in Nitro Creek all the time.

    Never heard of it being against the law to haul your own product...

    Yes it was why else would they not hual them until just recently. That was a question I asked the company when I started hauling cars and apparently it is no longer true. That was back in the good old days when one union would honor the picket lines of another, like I said no bother hood anymore. Every body for them self.

    Toyota Transport, a division of Toyota Motor Co., has been hauling their own product for many years out of the Port of Long Beach and Phoenix. I used to share an office with them at the UPRR yard in downtown Phoenix. They run a first class operation. The drivers are all 100% professional. They do not take just anyone. You have to be the real deal.

    Chrysler group auto transport runs minis from Canada to the Chrysler yard in Toledo. I'm told that they do backhauls too, but I didn't inquire.
