    Looking for trucking position with friendly, honest good people, great dispatchers that care about their drivers, reliable trucks, good benefits and pay.
    I presently make .41 cents per mile with good benefits driving flatbed for two years now, but looking to move on for more experience and pay. I do not have Car Hauler experience but willing to learn. I heard Toyota Car haulers make good money. Any info on this, or other companies in Northern California flatbedding or other that pay well. I would like to get home once per week. I live up North of Red Bluff,CA. :biggrin_255:

    I find it hard to belive that you will get another job paying more than .41 cpm with good bennies and still get miles that you need.

    I would stay with that .41 a mile job. You are going to be very hard pressed to find a flat job that pays more and car hauling is tough to break into without prior experience. Not many places will train for car hauling.

    I am pretty sure Waggoners will train you to haul cars. If you're interested in local car-hauling, you can try Allied Auto Group. They pay pretty decent, but again, it's local work. Google either company- they both have websites.

    Like someone else mentioned it is tough to get into car hauling without experience, but if you are willing to pay your dues and take a little bit of a pay-cut (not much!) to gain the experience, it may be worth it.

    Hah Douger, I'm up in Redding. Not too many from our neck of the woods. Who are you driving for now?
