Any Car Hauler O/O's On Here?

Leasing on to company with contract freight

 

United roads/haully

 

Realistic gross as a o/o

 

@Banker is a high rolling car hauler o/o

 

I'm up for a new adventure, where can find a lease purchase car hauling job with no car hauling experience
Got lots of flatbed experience if that's worth anything.

 

Lease purchase is a rip off unless you find the right company to actually buy from that doesn't haul freight.

I'm finding out about some wanna be owner operators. Running locally. Basically they're buying themselves a job with ridiculously high payments. And no say over the truck and trailer.

I can buy my own truck and trailer for $2500 ish a month or less. No way I'm paying some dude $11000 for 5 years and he don't even own the equipment.

@MooneyBravo, there's guys who make it at AS, but they run all over to do it. I think I'd call Waddle if I were in your shoes. They sound like good people from the FB friends that work for them. One of the guys just went back to work for them after trying out accelerated for a couple months. He had a lot of truck trouble right after he picked it up and basically said that after 2 months with no check that he was out. They welcomed him with open arms. He's a carhauler, not a guy who hauls cars, and you well know how rare we're getting to be.

 

Going on 9 years as a carhaul owner op and it’s the best 9 years of my 37 years in trucking. If you can’t double what a company driver is doing you are doing something wrong. A guy with a truck payment should definitely be able to do $160,000. I have a new rig on order currently.(keeping the Glider but getting a new headrack and trailer) Those who I know in person that have done a lease failed. @richardson918 is at Accelerated and he succeeded with a lease. The saying that it takes money to make money is not just some BS statement. Also those that I know who have bought used trucks some have succeeded and others have failed. The trucks that have EGR related issues and the owner op chases those problems usually fail. Those that get rid of those problems succeed.
I second what hammer said, if you can get on with Waddle that would likely be better for you since you are a short timer. I have heard Waddle has a line of well qualified long time carhaulers waiting to go to work there so I believe they are rather picky. They seem to be one of the premier carhaul company in today’s market for company drivers and know what it takes to acquire and retain good carhaulers(money and good equipment)!
