well I bridged a car!!!!

Two brothers that were yard jockeys with me went to hauling cars. One had a mishap with an Expedition. He didnt crank the car down enough and an overhead beam ended up crunching the roof. He was responsible and paid for it...about $500 I believe. He makes enough money to be able to recover from that in 1/2 week.

 

I can just imagine the sick feeling I would have had in my stomach when I heard that noise.

 

I've always wanted to get into car hauling, but the right people aren't around here. I've heard there is tons of money in it.

 

We have a company that delivers to dealerships locally here, and they actively recruited me when I was working as an assistant service manager at one of the dealerships.

Union job, they said 60K+ to start. At the time, I was making better at the dealership. Even after that, I thought about it, but I am not real fond of heights and don't really care too much about the idea of climbing around on that rig and backing cars down wet ramps.

I have watched these guys slide off the side of these trailers and total cars, that basically convinced me to avoid it.

 

This is the reason, I believe, my s/o doesn't get home as much as we think he should. That sounds just like him. Do they call that taking your work home with you, or since you're a driver, it's taking your home to work with you. ?
Good thing: You're a hard worker. Dependable. Flexible.
Bad thing: You're exhausted. You/You're family misses out.

 

I guess I should have clarified. Yes, it was a minor dent, but none the less, it was a mishap with a brand new car. BTW, he was less than 1 month on the job at the time.

 

The hardest part of car hauling are the first few months. Once you find the tie down holes and invest in a good height stick, let the good times roll and the fat pay checks follow.
