    Can anyone help me with information about getting Brand new car loads from manufacturers? Do I have to use brokers?. I currently haul with a 9 car setup and get loads on Central dispatch.

    The manufacturers will not deal with a 1 truck owner operator. They contract with large national carriers to move thousands of vehicles a month. Get involved with one of the national carriers by leasing to them or being a carrier in their group. What part of the country are you located?

    I used to work for BMT and they hauled BMWs and mercadez benz and porsche. They had contracts and special trucks. The BMW would not ship cars with anyone. BMW had thing that said we to get the cars off the loading dock within 24 hours. if a boat was coming in with cars and we had home time scheduled. That did not matter the cars come first.
