Selland Auto Transport
 

Anyone know much about Selland Auto Transport? I talked to a driver yesterday, and he had nothing but good things to say. Sounds like they haul nothing but new cars. Which sounds great because I hated auctions. :x I'm really thinking hard about getting back into car hauling.

Thanks for the info.

Any car haulers know any info/gossip from drivers?

about what? I see S&S drivers all the time. We load and deliver in the same places.

Well I'm curious on how it is loading new vehicles, I mean as far as railyards etc. I would be looking for a load of cars in auctions for a full day when I was car hauling before. Is S&S a part of Selland? How do most drivers like Selland as apposed to other co's?

It is so much eaiser. I knew you would get tired of that AA bulls@#$. It's a much smoother operation at the ports or railheads. Your cars are in the correct bays and will most likely start. They will for the most part be grouped in the same general area.
Yes, S&S is part of selland.

Right on! Yes, I did hate the AA's. And even worse was the salvage/junk cars to the mexican border for $ down. I had to stop every 200 miles just to make sure hoods/fenders/wheels etc wern't flying off! :roll: Selland says they don't haul junk, or pov's. I hated pov's with a passion. :lol: Some rich biaotch wouldn't meet me in a nice big parking lot, so I had to drive to her cul de sac and spent half an hour trying to back out. :lol: Well, I'm applying for Selland this week, but if I get hired, It'll have to be at least a month because I'm starting to build a garage.

Good deal....that company you started with a couple of years back was ripping you off. You will like delivering to the dealerships. Good luck.

Well here's an update. I called Selland two days ago, and I'm approved for hire. But, they're waiting for new trucks so that they can move the senior guys into them. Then I could get a used one. He told me to hold out for awhile. But really never gave me a set amount of time. Sysco is really shafting me right now. And the union isn't doing jack rabbit to help me. Basically I bid on a different route. One that is just driving from terminal to terminal hauling doubles. That lasted three weeks and was great. But they took me off and I'm back to delivering. And it's not set, whatever they feel like having me do.

:x

I can't wait for Selland to call.

I'm currently applying for Translogic Auto Carriers. Anybody know much about them? And how about Waggoners?

I have never worked for any of those companies,but wish you the best of luck. As a former car hauler myself, I really think you would enjoy driving for a company that hauls mainly new cars. Some auction cars or whatever are nice every now and then for a backhaul but you don't want to be doing that stuff all the time as a company driver. It is a tough time right now to be getting into car hauling. I used to work for Jack Cooper, myself, and enjoyed working there.

Where did you work for J. Cooper at? Did they lay you off? Some of their guys here in So. Cal are laid off for now.

Translogic say buisness is still good for them. They haul new Chrysler and Ford out of Henderson CO. At least that's where I would be based out of. He said they haul a lot up here in Montana. That's why me living here in Great Falls is ok I guess. But, obviously this economy is in the tank right now. And I would be worried that in a few months I might not have any cars to haul. I sent an email to Wagoners, but no responce yet.

Called Selland again today, and he said they might have something... But of corse he said he'll call me back. lol.

About 5 of our guys jumped ship and went to Selland about a month ago. They flew up to Seattle and did some paperwork and had their trucks within the week.

Just curious, who do you work for?

Looks like Selland isn't an option for me. Anybody know of any other car hauling companies that are hiring?

Move to Houston TX...GST.

United Road?

what happened?

The recruiter/drivers manager has been giving me bs for a year and a half, and I'm sick of it. He tells you you're approved, then he wants you to call him every six months. Then you call again, and he's clueless to who you are, can't find your application, then does, and asks what happened. So you politely tell him you've been calling every six months, because he told you to do so. Then he says, well, you've been with Sysco for over two years now, that's too long to be away from car hauling. Not sure if I can get you on...

:facepalm
