    I am a broker and have the oppurtunity to haul crushed cars. Before I take it I want to be sure I can cover them.

    I have not quoted yet, do not want to waste my time if I can not find the trucks to cover it. I heard no one likes to haul crushed cars.
    I am sure at the right price yall will haul almost anything and I get that.

    You heard correctly. Crushed cars belong in dedicated trailers; with containment. Hauling them as general freight on a flat or step is just ignorant; no matter what country you are in.

    I wouldn't haul them unless the rate was ridiculously high.

    Even for stupid money the aggravation and clean-up make it really annoying. Proper containment, securement, nets..........even so you are a hanging out a sign that says "INSPECT ME".

    COMPLETELY agree. When I try and book loads or move freight I will not even mess with it if the rate is too low. I will not be a pert of the problem. I want to be a part of the solution.

    Lot of hassle from getting loaded in some real S#^% HOLE locations to the constantly loose junk falling off the cars ( Wires , trim , glass ) when your going down the road , more chance of getting pulled in / over for inspection , oil / grease puddled up and stains on your deck afterwards
