    Ok so i know there's many of these trucks that go down the road with these enclosed car trailers with luxury cars and supercars.

    I wanna know
    1 does it pay well company side? Anything up to $1600+ a week?
    2 what are the experience requirements and does it typically require prior car hauling experience
    3 are these typically dedicated routes or can you drive all 48+ Canada?
    4 I've heard doing normal car hauling/car trailers isn't a good idea for tall/large people is this true?
    5 are there any serious securement annoyances? Whats the biggest fears when hauling higher end vehicles since the obvious high value?)
    6 are you required to wear a uniform with these jobs?
    7 is it fun to do this?

    Any other information or comments about doing it would be appreciated, thanks in advance, love y'all keep truckin

    I ain’t in the field but my 2 cents if you don’t have any car hauling experience I’d start with a general car hauling business where mistakes are still costly but much cheaper than damaging a super or exotic car. I’d assume those vehicles are a headache to get off the trailer even with proper equipment just cause of how low to the ground they are.

    Some of the research I've done had even said some of these cars aren't anywhere near covered for max freight insurance either.

    2. I seriously doubt they's let someone touch $100k+ cars without prior experience.

    3. I presume you would typically be picking up and delivering in affluent areas, including residential neighborhoods. Once you've established a good reputation you might be able to work for some of the bidders at the high-end auctions or haul somebody's race car around to various tracks and shows.

    4. A coworker of mine is easily 6 ft 2 and probably weighs 250. He said he had to be really careful getting in and out of cars so that he didn't bang the doors against the trailer.

    5. If I were serving the kind of clientele who can afford a supercar I would be dressed in business casual, at a minimum.
