How about fresh out of school and in the Los Angeles area? I was wondering if driving a cement truck for about a year would qualify as experience?Although I do believe that is a class B job so Im not sure if it would be considered "tractor-trailer". Looking at Professional Auto Transport out here but It seems they might want some experience. Also, are auto transports just day cab work or regional runs? Just trying to ask questions...Got lots of those lol. Anyway thanks folks.

Can be day runs or sleeper. The companies that move new vehicles from the plant or marshaling yard, (where the vehicles are unloaded from the train) usually run daycabs as they run within a limited area, some running 2 or 3 loads a day. The sleeper trucks usually run longer distances loading from auctions or private parties shipping cars longer distances. Usually if all the units on a load are the same model or make, and don't have license plates, they are new going to a dealer. Professional Auto Transport has both daycabs and sleepers based in LA. They also have smaller trucks running local. After driving, the skills you need are loading and delivering without damaging anything. You also need to know how to inspect the vehicle before loading and document any scratches, etc. Travel out to the auction in Riverside or Fontana or Mira Loma and watch the drivers loading. Ask questions, most drivers will share basic information on the business. Manheim is the auction in Riverside and Fontana and Mira Loma is an Adesa auction.

With no experience , after getting equipment and my numbers , what would be the next step ? Only trying to run local or not to far from Houston ? Tried getting on with different big companies going OTR but they all want 6months + experience , am I trying to do the impossible or is this possible...

Word of advice, try getting an insurance quote first, the cost may change your mind, new car haul business will run you about $15,000 or more for your first year at your age and experience level. -
