How do my numbers look for car hauling? What am i missing or inaccurate on?

It is their board policy and I respect that. We all agreed to the terms of use when we signed up. The board owner wishes to keep this a non-commercial place to protect the integrity of the site and as such he will not allow professionals to promote their services for a profit.

My goal is to spread accurate information to the members of this forum, although I would like to promote my consulting firm directly, I can and will respect their wishes. Besides, I am not that difficult to find if someone really wanted to find me.

In reality I have only gained one customer that did not know me in the real world from this board, and they didn't contact me through the board, instead they found me in the real world.

 

Well I will respect it also. I was under the impression we could share great information and service providers.

Thanks for the congratulations

I do finally was able to send you a message

 

I believe if your trailer weight is 10k or more you need a cdl A. So if you have 9.9k of cars that trailer needs to weigh less then 100 pounds. If I am wrong please say. If I am right don’t these trailers weigh about 4-6k lbs that really legally limits you to 1-2 cars. Nobody ever talks about this here.

 

Except for the State of California you have to meet two conditions to require a class A license. First, the gross combined weight rating of both units must equal or exceed 26,001 pounds, and then the trailer gross weight rating must be 10,001 pounds or more.

This allows a truck and trailer combination to add up to exactly 26,000 pounds (or less) and be exempt from CDL even when the trailer exceeds 10,001 pounds GVWR. Example, F-350 at 11,000 with a trailer at 14,000 only is a combined GVWR of 25,000 so no CDL needed. Use a F-550 at 18,000 and you are into CDL A territory.

As for California, they are the only state that determines class A solely by the trailer weight rating, however they can't restrict out of state licensed drivers from operating without a CDL in their state, only CA licensed drivers.
