    Well, if that’s the case the LTL outfits could likely fix him up. Central could work as a place to start.

    Hey @easternguy101 something to consider that nobody has mentioned about hauling vehicles is the Weather. Loading and unloading vehicles in SHI**Y weather can make your life extremely miserable. Another thing that nobody has mentioned is how much walking you’re going to be doing, in that weather, to find the vehicles that you’re going to be loading. You could be walking 5-7 miles a day in #### weather too because you’re going to be picking up vehicles from car plants, rail yards, auctions etc. not just auto dealerships. Not trying to discourage you from hauling vehicles but just some things to keep in mind.

    I got this offer..
    From a
    Fedex Ground contractor.
    Night work pulling mostly double ( They will teach me to drive double) . Total miles per night 375 . for $1300 gross per week.
    I already did a backgrounds with Advantage ( They do background for fedex) and they send me the drug screening order.
    Is that a good deal for a rookie ?
     
    Maverick Griff Thanks this.
