    You don't read much in the newbie forum about car hauling.

    Is pursuing something like car hauling for a new Cdl grad viable?

    Short answer is no. Get to the point where information overload doesn't happen, and then you might be ready. It's still a job not everyone is cut out for.
    Long answer? Go search that ^ sub forum.

    Are you serious?! Those cats make some serious dough. Surprising. The driver shortage must be real.
    I say it all the time: I learn something new every day.

    I wonder if "students" means inexperienced car haulers? As opposed to inexperienced drivers.

    I just checked their website and they're requiring 2 years TT experience. Who knows where I got that idea from lol
    Can't hurt to try, most of the better opportunities I've come across have come from a handshake and short conversation
     
    Bob Dobalina Thanks this.

    I got my first local job that way. I had experience, but not 2 years. They found a way to twist the math in my favor, and I got the job. I never did OTR from that day forward.
