    Some locations at Hansen it is definitely worth it if you know how to haul cars damage free and spend the time to build relationships. If you want the best money runs the first day go somewhere else because nobody starts at the top. I built a new rig in 2015 to come to work here. I traded my highrail to put a new 80’ quickoader behind it in 2022. Been here 9 years and don’t plan on going anywhere. I just ordered a new headrack and trailer to put on my Glider. I sold my 2016 Headrack and 2022 trailer just because I wanted a new rig but don’t want to give up my Glider. 10 years and newer is what the age requirement used to be to get in the door. As long as it passes an inspection every 90 days you can keep running your equipment as long as you want.
