Hey guys I'm thinking about getting in the car hauling business using a dually and a 5 car hauler. Is it difficult for brand new authorities to book loads using load boards like central dispatch? Thanks for any advice .

Not difficult and that's why everyone is doing it and not making any money

Time consuming . Don't haul cheap !!!!!! Always get a better rate because what is listed is usually a joke .
HaulinCars and wspates20 Thank this. -
Why stop with only a 5 car behind that dually? Think big.

Some brokers/shippers won't give you loads until you are in business for a certain amount of time. Accelerated is at 2 years
United, Metrogistics, CarsArrive 3 mos
Each is a bit different.
The first few loads will be dealers (they give the least ####s) and banged up cars from coparts and iaaas.
Keep hustlng and doing good work and before you know it any load will be opent to ya.
I would suggest you dispatch yourself in the beginning just to learn the process and then you would likely be better off hiring a dispatcher. Good luckwspates20 Thanks this. -
Can anyone tell me the average rates per mile on the load boards . I'm not an official business yet and do not have MC # or DOT # ... I would like to have an idea of the current rates so I can have an idea of what I could gross .

Some start at 19 cents - some go for $1.00 per mile. Most on Central Dispatch are listed at 40 - 50 cents per mile which I don't even call on . Always negotiate higher . You will be surprised sometimes .
