Car Carrier

No, Probably not,..........

Use the search function for the rest,.Most of those questions have been answered around here somewhere,...

 

Your gonna need a dispatcher if you go with anything over a three or four car. Unless you want to spend all day on central trying to fill up your truck every other day or so.

Most brokers dont want you holding onto their cars for a week. For instance if you call on a monday morning thinking your gonna get a weeks worth of work it is more than likely not going to happen, they will tell you they want to get it moved sooner and to call back when you can pick it up. A day ahead wont be a problem but your not going to call them on monday and say you can pick it up thursday.

It takes alot of time browsing central and other sites looking for good cars. I have read that the prices have dropped alot on cars compared to what it was but honestly if you are happy making what it pays now then the prices are ok.

As for the area, you go where the cars are. Anywhere there is a port there will be cars going there, so you will want to get a twic card. The areas that cars orginate in change alot. Cars coming out of one area one week and then nothing.

Alot of people do it with 3 car wedges which is ok if you are starting out, we have a guy here that hauls them with a rollback and a two car bumper pull trailer, but I would suggest going big, well semi big, time. Motels are expensive. That said I would look into a regular sleeper truck with a 7 car trailer. I wouldn't buy a 10 car for the simple fact of it being a unitasker. But thats just me.

Also would think about buying a couple other trailers. Maybe a reefer and a flatbed or something. If cars get slow you already have the truck that you can use to haul other freight. See? multitasking.

Your not going to get rich but you can make some money. Also learning to speak about 15 languages because your not likely to speak to anyone that talks good english, would help.

 

No, I still have it,..................It make for good collateral for the loan that payed of the rest of my debt from my car haul debacle,...Now all I have to do is pay off the loan and I can sell it then,....

Besides for some reason my conscience wont let me sell it to a newbie sucker that is bound to fail,...........I would not feel right about that,...

 

The car hauler business is in the toilet, along with dump trucking.

Few are buying cars and almost no construction going on.
