I've been seeing alot more of these loads lately mostly running west to east on Interstate 80 thru Ohio. 9 even 10 car loads. Considering the effort needed to load this many inops are rates that good or what?

Friend of mine does mostly salvage. The stuff inbound to the recyclers pays almost spot buy money.

We used to do non runners on our 10 car trucks. Have installed winches above the tandems on the tractor. Because they pay awesome. Now we also have 4 car rollbacks.

I can only remember hauling just a couple Copart loads. What I do remember is the rates were pretty good, but getting loaded was a PIA and very time consuming.

I was on dedicated account 2015-2018 from chicagoland to nj weekly , usually 2-3 pick ups and 1 drop off , if you know what you doing - its very good and easy , no inspection needed , just 4 pics , knew all forklift operators personally . Unloading was at the shipping yard , even easier than loading ...
But if you going for pu and drops different places and customers - not worth it , too much wasted time and people don't know how to unload those non runnersLite bug Thanks this. -
The conclusion I've come to with copart, is if it says "operable" it simply means the car will start but doesn't mean it has all the wheels.. I tend to shy away from them for that reason unless I can't find anything else. No experience with them at the ports though, I think you have to drain the fuel from them if I'm not mistaken and I don't want to deal with that hassle.NuCar Carrier and Tall Mike Thank this.
