I actually got out of car hauling about June of 2017 because the rates were dropping so bad. No, not all brokers suck, but we all know that brokers in some states like California and Florida for example, will charge the customer the same rate per mile as a car in the midwest, but they post the load on central dispatch for less. It doesn't help that any Tom, Dick or Harry with a few bucks can get into a 3 car, and drive the rates down just to undercut his fellow transporter. I now run a 53' step deck behind a 2017 KW T-680, and am on target to NET $331,000 by December 31st, and I didn't even work hard this year. I said good bye to wandering around Manheim for hours looking for lost or already picked up cars, no more waiting next the junk trucks and good old boys club at copart, no more idiot POV owners telling me I can make it to their house down a narrow dirt road, no more lazy dealerships that refuse shipments after 3pm, no more cheap freight etc. Now all I do is watch someone load my wagon, secure my cargo, and roll.

Back in the day I had a Take 3 Trailer w fold outs front and rear for a 4th car. Made in Texas, 53' long, and built like a tank.

Actually the strongest 3-4 car wedge type trailer is BigTex model 20AC, its frame is built by 12" I-beam from front to back. Take3, Kaufman and others frame is built from square tubing they rust from the inside out as there is no way to pain inside a tube.

My brother bought a Kaufman 4 months ago . The 4 and go I think is what call it ? It is junk . We have had to replace all the equallisers pins. One spring. The brake packages is half of what it should be! Factory relined the brakes under warranty ( in first 30 days) . Picked up new axles with proper bake package and will replace all 3 axles next week ! Had same brake package as a travel trailer? Got 40,000 miles on trailer and only 2 of the six tires still on it . Cheaply made.
It's pricy but check out sun country their 5 car. Sweet set up. Get you a good single axle truck nd get at it ! Good luck! My brothers trailer is to new to trader (way up side down) , we will fix their lack of quality ! But it's getting more expensive every day. But we will get there !
