CAR HAULING!!!! DAY 3, love it sofar....

Sound like a good gig. That's the kind of co I like to drive for. Where are they out of?

 

Cars are the second easyest freight to load, just put the first four on backed in and the next four pulled on, as i remember, its been 26 years when i last loaded cars, whats the easyest? don't know for sure, b ut was told when I started driving the best jobs were pushing the freight on, driving it on, or walking it on.

 

Things have changed in the last few years or so, hubby hauls cars and loading can take any where from 2 hours and up, depending on makes and models of cars being put on.....back on, drive on, top deck, lower deck, it all has to be done according to weight limits for drives and steers........kinda like a puzzle that ya put together. Car hauling is easier than other freight, and the pay aint bad either.

 

I have never pulled a parking lot, but years ago it was hard to get one to talk to you on the CB. I had to spend a weekend at Bills Truckstop one time and was talking to one. He said that a lot of them only throw one chain to save time. I saw one a couple of years ago that was pulled off the side of a road on a curve. He had lost a couple and they were in someone's yard.

With new cars who is responsible for scratches on the cars? The driver? I have never thought about pulling them. I see a lot of them that buy at auctions and haul cars to used car lots. Seems like with new cars they would really look them over good before they signed the paperwork.

 

...much time is spent 'documenting' any mars/scratches/dings, etc. and driver is responsible for!! Sounds like alot of liability!!

** Also, seen a lot of them 'scrapping' thru truckstops and parking lots!!
