# 2 Worst Wholesale Express BOYCOTT

Lol, just signed on and noticed my screen name was changed from auction***** to auction girl, lmao. Maybe thats a sign of the times too, god I hope not! At any rate, I also put up with the bs at these auctions too, hence the name auction"girl". Even with the walking, jumping, and looking for the "seqouia sunset bedazzled" lost car that turns out to be white, I still do alot better than 26.00 an hour. No way would I do this for that rate not to mention the lousy "benefits" these big carriers tout. I find it hard to believe a carrier with zero car hauling background or experience can just purchase equipment, place ads in the interweb and move in to the business, especially with an account the size of carmax. Would have thought carmax would have learned a lesson with the united road fiasco. Gonna be more of the same. The day I have to do this for 24.00-26.00 per hour, the "experienced" bottom feeders can have all the fun. Not knocking anyone thats been in this industry for a long time, alot of us are taking it in the shorts right now but when it gets to that point maybe i can make more working a strip club with my new name. Time will tell

 

Just FYI, Hogan has been hauling cars for a few years already. They have figured out how to make a go of almost any specialty hauling, hire expierenced people to lead the crew. They will be here for a long time, so we need to figure out how to effectively compete against them.

 

Well I personally cant speak to how long Hogan has been involved in car hauling and I dont want to take this off topic. I guess my point is changes may be on the horizon for not only this sector of the industry but for other specialty carriers too. I was using Hogan as an example of this. I personally have not seen Hogan hauling cars untill I was at the manheim in St.Louis in november and there was a Hogan truck loading a high mount. Several of us ol' timers were watching as this was going on and couldnt figure out who was the trainor and who was the trainee, both were moving at a snails pace. One of the drivers went over and asked when Hogan got into the car hauling game and was told Hogan had entered into a 3yr national contract with Carmax and would soon be hauling all of their freight. At any rate, Maybe Hogan plans on moving automobiles as they move toilet paper, team drivers, slip seat ect. Yet to be seen. Maybe thats the way for those of us who have been swinging on these trucks and trailers like monkies for all these years with wore out knees and shoulders to make a living going forward, drag drag our butts loading and unloading and let the hourly wage make up the difference. Dont want to go on too long about it and maybe someone wants to start a new topic. Be safe and have a good one.

At $1.60 per mile it doesn’t matter when you get paid your going out of business anyways.

 

My experience with United Road is they will pay top dollar to move loads when they can't find a sucker.

 

Swift tried that and we all see how well that worked!! More damages then you could count!! I don't run auction but most of the OEMs know better than to mess with door slammers trying to haul cars.
