    I need you guys to find cars and dispatch me. Most cars on Central Dispatch only pay around 30-40 cpm.

    Still trying to figure out why it required an enclosed trailer.


    The car is a luxury Lexus,that's why, and have you ever driven the roads in Northern Montana and Southern Alberta in the winter months!! Yikes Brother !!
    And no I'm importing the car as usual, nothing on the sly, had the car brought up to Montana from Missouri, I'm flying down to Billings, and I'll drive it the rest of the way home ,for it's pretty hard to hide that car when your driving it crossing the Sweetgrass /Coutts border!!

    That's why I never used it when I was hauling cars,...

    I could never find anything going where I was going to fill up or get back,...And the prices where stupid low anyway,...

    Local paper? So you got someone to drive 3200 miles roundtrip for $1000?

    At .32 / mile nobody is going to be working in missouri anytime soon because they won't be able to afford their bills and all their stuff is going to get repoed.

    There is no way you got a company to do it for that. Maybe a racer that has garaged their car for the winter?

    Gotta ask, where are you guys pulling freight from? I've been hauling cars almost a year and a half now and if I could fill my trailer with $1100 cars going 1500 miles I'd be a rich man. I have a 7 car cottrell and at 1000 a pop each way thats $14,000 for a 3000 mi round trip. Figure in another 500 mi for del/pickups and even leave a few empty spots that's still good money. You guys must have a lot of overhead if you can't haul for that money.

    I posted my ad's in some local forums, and craiglist and the phone ran off the hook.
    The fella was going up that way,and was more than glad to take the car. Should of gone that way weeks ago and forgot all the ridiculous dispatch crap!!
