    I don’t know a thing about the company you speak of, but I will give you my take on switching to carhauling.
    I did this a little over 6 years ago and I wouldn’t go back to my old job if I could. It can suck for a while depending on how you adapt to it and the equipment you get to learn with, but after you know what you are doing it can be a great well paying job. Many experienced carhaulers can make very near $100,000. Some company drivers are $125,000 or so but I wouldn’t count on that much.

    Prepare to be gone for a long time with them I have a friend who used to work there and never had home time. Just saying, if you really want to haul cars and they will give you a chance go for it

    I don't have any current info on LNR but I know they have nice equipment. They used to chase overflow and as was said above, and I guess this depends on where you live, but a friend/co worker was having a very hard time getting home. This was a year ago so it is very possible things have changed. Are they offering to train you?
