Degradation of the Car Hauling Business

Even worse, they start running for shady companies and don't know they're hauling with zero insurance. The trick they use is enclosed trailers. Cops and DOT don't want to bother with enclosed so they let them slide. Huge mistake. This is why I got out of car hauling. CD doesn't check for insurance, and only savvy shippers bother to ask nowadays. This is another reason rates are depressed. Blame CD and lazy state officials.

 

While I agree. The US essentially has an open border policy & specific states (19) issue drivers licenses while allowing them to purchase insurance.

That aside. I met plenty that were born here pulling all of the things that you mentioned in your first post. The greater issues is that integrity is a lost or forgotten art.

 

You ain't kidding!

 

No need to drive all the way back to Dallas because you can't find a spot in Houston. There is plenty of parking 10-20 miles east of Houston on interstate 10.

 

Some of the former, but probably more of the latter. Truckload isn't the only segment with a bunch of unqualified trainers and drivers.

I don't come all the way down, but only to keep the post angles from being too flat. Let me find my tiktok that explains it...

Did he come in off the road like this or did this happen in a loading yard before hitting the road?

 

In the past few weeks I have seen a lot of brand new 350/Kaufmann setups with new 4,xxx,xxx DOT numbers. Paper info sheet taped to the side.
