Looking for advice from experienced crushed car haulers

I haul crushed cars from No Cal to the Bay Area. You don't need a headache rack. Not needed. No chains or binders. But you 3/8" wire straps. That's whats required here in Cali. Plus, you need 4 straps per bundle to secure the load. Also bring a broom to sweep your deck. You don't want pieces of debris flying off your trailer and hitting drivers.

This was my 1st load:

 

3/8th wire to secure that on a skateboard? That is beyond frightening. If I came upon that rolling down the highway in front of me I would pull off at the nearest exit. I wouldn't even risk trying to pass.

Where I am at they haul crushed cars in dump type trailers.

 

3/8" braided wire is ok by CHP/FMCSA. Some are hauled hi side dump trailer. Trust if me FEDS didn't ok, it nobody would be doing it. plus if saw how it was secured, u would be a "happy camper".

Plus we got the CHP and DOT crusing the interstate looking to enhance their coffers.

 

Yes, 3/8 inch wire on a flatbed with the mesh screen is what my former employer used. I never hauled them that way, but I did haul them in walking floor trailers. That was pretty nice. We didn't even need to tarp them as the load was below the top of the trailer. Really easy, just open the doors and walk them out.

 

Crushed cars????


No thanks! I wouldn't be caught dead with that crap on my trailer! LOW rates, BIG mess, DAMAGES the equipment!

I get offered that crap all the time...I just hang up the phone.

 

You guys are doing it all wrong, ya'll need a crushed car hauler trailer.

 

Nah....I look at it this way, My truck doesn't say "Garbage Hauler" on it so I don't haul garbage!
