I'm thinking about getting into car hauling, would this truck be a good start? Also what would I need to do to it for it to be ready to go (besides adding a 5th wheel). Thanks all
Would this truck be good for hauling 3/4 cars?

Certainly a lot better for the job than the 1 tons most people use.
I'd suggest a lot of current research into that segment. The number of people working that market skyrocketed a handful of years ago, and I doubt the amount of cars needing shipped increased to match the supply of new operators. That combination always leads to rates dropping fast and hard.DrDieselUSA, brian991219 and tech10171968 Thank this. -

I live in Sarasota, just across the state from you, and have seen the rates for over ten years. maybe you got contacts with better paying stuff than I ever saw, but from what they have fallen to I wouldn't put them on my truck.
If you don't mind saying so, what kind of rate are you expecting to get?DrDieselUSA and brian991219 Thank this. -
I'm not sure to be honest, I gotta talk to my friend and see what he's getting.
Do u hot shot out of Sarasota?? -
People started seeing what car haulers were making at the time and saw dollar signs; nowadays every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinks he can get a underpowered dualie and a rickety 3-car wedge and strike it rich. The reality is that you'll have to hustle your butt off just to have enough money to be broke. And maybe less than half these guys are even doing it right.DrDieselUSA, brian991219 and goin2fast10 Thank this. -
Well I'll pose this question to you, what could you transport that would bring in decent money if cars is over saturated? But besides all that I'd really like to know what this truck would need in order to pull a trailer regardless of what is on it -
