LOAD IT, I'm still averaging above $1.50, but I've lost some time due to my poor planning. I seem to be doing better by posting my truck and waiting sometimes and let the brokers call me. Some of these brokers don't post on the boards, and their rates are better.
As far as the car hauler thing, I've talked to a few of them, and they all have told me that the Dallas area is the best place to be (where I live), and I can do real well and regionally.
I would not attempt this with a driver, but I'm real careful, and rarely damaged a car in all my years of working with them, so that is probably the least of my worries.
The guys I've talked to all get paid COD, and they've told me they pickup cars on nights and weekends as well (from dealers and auctions). Evidently, some of the auctions are 24 hrs.
The savings on fuel really gets my attention, because I've been looking at the gross weight (loaded) of an 8 car hauler, and it is considerably less than what I'm hauling on a regular basis, and I would assume less wind drag than a box?
I dunno, can I cut some holes in my van to make it vented?
Where do the onions go?
