    I would like to ferry trucks. I have contacted a company in Austin, TX, but they do not call back. I do not have a CDL, but I used to ferry 40' RVs. What are the best companies I can contact to find Part time work? I own a business, but want to ferry trucks only part time. I am in Austin, TX.

    My buddy did it, and it required a Class A. He drove Peterbilts from the factory to the dealerships.

    http://irontigerlogistics.com/ they move navistar trucks out of Garland, TX. not sure how often they send them down through Austin. Not sure how seriously they will take you without a CDL either. I've been in there a couple times loading chassis's on my stepdeck. looks like they send some piggyback, some guys had little cars with bumper pulls so they could deliver trucks and drive back, and some were just driving them out.

    all im going to say is Anytime you have a vehicle with a 5th wheel and trailer you will need a CDL license. You figure out the rest
