Message:: [QUOTE="asphaltreptile311, post: 12365098, member: 183375"]Getting in car hauling without getting experience as a company driver, is the number 1 death of new owner operators in the business. If you aren't hauling cars that do not run and are severely damaged. You will get bogged down in damages. Especially if you get into new cars , even if you don't damage it there's a ton of fraud in car hauling. If you pick up a car from a rail yard and underneath the back passenger seat there is a tear in the fabric, oh well looks like you'll be coughing up a couple hundred dollars if the dealer sees it . You accidentally drop a tool and scratch the door? Better buff it out if you can or that'll be a couple thousand. Most the owner operators I met who didn't start with proper training are usually bankrupt in 15 weeks. I'd suggest if you are serious about it go ahead and put aside 10k for damages or go work for a company that will train you and pay for your beginner #### ups. You don't know how to inspect a car yet you won't know until you meet a dealer who is dying for a damage claim.[/QUOTE]
