    Hi, we are looking at an opportunity where they pay 25%. Is that good, bad?

    That depends on a lot of different factors. Is it as a W-2 driver or are they going to 1099 you? Are there any other benefits? Does the company you are going to drive for have decent equipment? And how many cars can you haul at a time?

    25% is about standard especially for someone with no prior car haul experience. As Bob said above, if itnis good or not depends on many things, 25% of cheap rates is peanuts.

    It will depend on the type of freight they haul (new, wholesale, personal owned vehicles, etc) to know if they are getting good rates as well as the type of equipment they give you.

    They're Peterbuilt, stack pipes, apu's, refrigerator, sleeper... They will usually do new Mercedes, dealer trades and locates. Say 1000 miles out and back your pay 1500.00.
