    As titled, do you guys use truck paper, central dispatch or something else for selling auto transport equipment?

    Truck Paper is $240 for a month of in paper & online.
    Central last I knew was $99. Not sure the duration of their ads & the photos are generally garbage.
    Truck Paper obviously has the physical paper distributed weekly as well as online vs Centrals web site that you already have to be a subscriber to view.

    Craigslist while free, have never sold anything off of there worth more than $75. Like wise, do not go searching cg when looking at large purchases either.

    Pros & cons to all sites. A few years ago, when selling through tp. The person the bought my last trailer contacted me within an hour of the post hitting the web site. But the market was different then.
    Thanks for any info.

    Everything we've ever moved is either through Truck Paper or word of mouth to other carhaulers in our area.

    I've sold tons of equipment on Craigslist. Just have to weed out the idiots that call. It's worth the trouble and doesn't hurt to try

    I'm looking for equipment now. I search TP frequently. The listings on Central are a pain with the way the page works so I rarely look there. Craigslist with the way you can only search 1 city at a time to me seems useless for something like specialty vehicles (car hauling equipment) so I never even look at CL.

    @HaulinCars try adhuntr.com. it looks at all of craigslist.com not just one area. I type Cottrell in the search line and get every Cottrell listing on Craigslist nationwide.

    Cool, thanks for that info! I tried a couple apps that said they do that but none of them really worked right. I'll try adhuntr...
