    I have three good companies I can go with... But a lot if people are saying car hauling is where the top pay is... I'm in it for the long haul. I didn't want to get in over my head

    So my first day in training was great. I was showed how to un/ load a 10 car trailer its was scary but I did good... Drove alil to..fast black Pete. But three things I didn't like about the company. I wasn't greeted by the boss has back was to me the whole time I was in the office. He ask me to move a truck I did it and he still didn't talk to me after I trained all day for free. No one talked to me about how I would be paid. nothing. Last. the business just didn't look like it was ran good.. I wouldsalso have to do a 1099 taxes.... By they did have alil of work... I'm just going to stick with plan A...

    I hauled cars for the first time last month and it was NOT for me. IDK if its like it was for me everywhere else but I was hauling cars to auctions and the wait times were ridiculous, but I was just working for a very small company that only had a three car hauler and had to take whatever jobs they could so that may explain so of it but I could be wrong. If you can stick to companies that haul for dealerships and not one that hauls repo or non operational cars like I did you will start to dislike hauling cars quickly like I did, because using a winch to load every car onto the trailer and having to drag them back off will make your days very long.
