I am in the research phase for setting up a local hot shot car carrier. I plan on using a 3500 Dually and a 3 or 4 car carrier trailer. I am trying to figure out which side of the 26k lb mark I would be on. Any help is appreciated. The difference in getting setup is pretty significant.
Hotshot Dually + 3 car hauler. Under or over 26K lbs?

I appreciate the honest responses. I finally got into a local yard to talk to someone tomorrow. I am hoping to pay a driver to let me do a ride along or two.

Personally think you would be better off spending $100 drinking at a bar this weekend & reading this/other car haul forums hungover before trying that 3 car dually thing. It will hurt less. Unless you have some connections somewhere with a known rate that you can count on, 3 cheap cars on central is not going to do it.
brian991219, Hammershield and Terry270 Thank this. -
I got to work with a driver yesterday working out of the same yard. Nice guy, was glad to talk to me and show me how he loads, etc. -
Hammershield Thanks this.

I understand the connections are open to anyone who is capable. The rate isn't per mile, its by trip and car type. The loads are mostly local with some regional.
