i just passed my class a cdl test today and i have achance to haul cars

Congratulations, driver!

 

Between a dry van you learn on and hauling cars? Hell yeah LOL! With a van you just gotta hook and drop- some jobs you'll have to load, secure the load, and unload. But right outta driving school all you're used to is hook / unhook. When it comes to cars, you gotta be REAL careful. You have to have on clean clothes so you don't get the interior dirty, you have to ensure the ramps are lined up right, and depending on what kinda trailer you load (3 car wedge or 10 car stinger) you will have a lot or almost no clearance to open the doors to get in and out. Then you have to either chain the frame down, or strap the wheels down. Some cars you can't chain down, and straps are your only option. I'm not pro car hauler, but have been doing it on my 3 car wedge for over a year claim free and kinda enjoy it LOL. Lemme know if you have any other specific questions. I'll just stress you gotta be CAREFUL! Scratches get expensive real quick.

 

Comparing Carhaul to pulling a freight van is like comparing Cindy Crawford to Rosie O'Donnell

 

it is a good thing! im a car hauler indeed and i love it drive less paid more

 

Yeah very good. It gets in your blood...

 

In just 3 days I will be hauling cars for 1 year. I am damage free but I dont get into a rush like most of the other guys that I work with. We work long, hard hours in all kinds of weather. Doesnt matter if it's 110° or 10°, raining, snowing, etc we work. That can be a real pain. Most of my loads are local but I do go out of town every now and again. In fact just got back yesterday from 2 nights in south Texas. I make what I consider a fairly good living but I drive a 4 car hauler. The other guys that are driving the 9 and 10 car rigs make a butt load more money than I do.

You need to make sure that you can manuver a large truck in tight spaces. You may be on some car lots that are really tight and may only have a couple of inches on either side. You may unload in the street and trust me, the general public that drive dont give a #### if you are trying to work in the street or not. Actually they play a game called lets see how close we can get with out hitting the car hauler.

But I have finally found the job that I love doing...

 

He's saying he likes Rosie O'Donnell. She's HOT!

Congrats newguy. Go for it. There are many benefits of being a car hauler. No matter what you pull behind you they each have their own unique way of loading and securing. Drivers bounce around different aspects of trucking. You have to find your fit and what you enjoy.
