Anybody know these guys?

Truck Driver/ 5 car carrier driver

I don't work in auto transport and have no experience car hauling, but have some renewed interest in this niche and have been keeping an eye out for a way to get my foot in the door. I've also considered starting with a dually and 2 or 3 car wedge trailer since I already have a truck that would work but that seems like putting the cart before the horse with no experience. Is running a 5 car quick loader a good way to start?

 

I wouldn't say $1500 a week is bad money (if it's true) but the daily BS around here does get pretty brutal. I'm thinking about moving out west to Las Vegas in a year or so and half of me is thinking it would be smarter just to stick with the container job in the meantime even though it pretty much blows. I imagine running cars around here is no picinic either. This whole area sucks and I intend to leave it.

 

I should have qualified that by saying it isn't bad money in the world of dry van, LTL or container hauling as a company driver, which is all I've ever done since I started driving ~6 years ago.

Reefer, open deck or bulk/tanker work never seems to pay that much better for all the extra hassle involved. Cars seem to be an exception but there has to be a catch right? Are the hours stupid? Is it a lot more dangerous? Do you have to be much more intelligent and careful than an average driver?

Thanks. I'll call and ask for him.
