On the #2 deck, try not dropping the pockets. Instead stop the tire on that back on half of the pocket. I find that works best and I can stack mid-sized suv’s on the tractor at 13’ 6”. I’m in a 78” footer and yes, you have to work harder to get things down to height.
Im curious what we're some of the changes at urs which made you leave. I heard they have aome new dispatch thing going on. Im curious because i. Looking to go back. Did they lose some lanes?
19 yrs old getting ready to start my own car hauling company. I gotta stay local until I turn 21. What would you think would be best for running local like when it comes to a hotshot or a 9 car. My insurance would be a lot cheaper going with a semi but I still want to see what would be best. Thank you
100% go with the 9 car but I’ll tell you you might want to wait until your 21. You won’t be able to run the 9 car until then unless your in a state that allows younger cdl drivers.
@@CarcarrierTv I can run in my state at 19 and as soon as I turn 21 I’m going OTR. I would go work for a company but most companies insurance requires the driver to be 21 so I’m just gonna do my own thing and get my experience that way. I spoke with a few auto transport companies and they helped me out and told me how I could do it under my own authority.
Hey Brother, I am thinking on starting my own Car Transport company. Im thinking on getting a Ram 5500 with a 6 car hauler. Do you have any recomendations since i dont have my class 1 License (CDL)? I am from Quebec Canada
You need a class A cdl for that brother. Anything over 26,000 lbs combination gvwr. You could do a 3500 and a two car trailer and there’s ways to get away with a 3500 and a three car without a cdl but you definitely can’t have a 5500 and a six car
I will be blatantly honest with you which most wont be. Save yourself the time, MONEY, and hassle and don't. If you're going to car haul do it for a company and allow them to take all the risk and front all the money for the equipment you're using. I understand a lot of you all hear about the hauling craze and see videos that make it look easy on the internet, but it's the exact opposite. Buying a truck and a trailer is about the only easy part of car hauling. Nobody ever tells you about how you're gonna have to work your first three months of the year non stop just to cover the cost of insurance for the year before you ever make a dime, and thats if you dont have equipment payments. If you ever need roadside assistance you're gonna get bent over and done from behind because they know you're on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere and you have no choice but to pay some outrageous price for them to fix something that is most times a very quick fix with the right tools and part. They make you think its as easy as getting a MC/DOT, truck and trailer, company name, insurance and then you just simply hop on central dispatch or super dispatch and start booking cars left and right and the money just starts pouring in. They don't tell you that most brokers are full of shit, a lot of brokers wont even give you a vehicle till you have been in business a year or have a certain amount of ratings on central, then they'll tell you "oh yeah the car is operable in running condition" then you show up at an auction or wherever and the car is dead as can be and you have to spend the next hour trying to jump this one car then this sometimes happens with multiple vehicles that were listed as "operable" and the pay was for an operable vehicle. Yeah you can call and complain they aren't gonna pay you more they'll tell you ok you can leave it then. Nobody tells you even after sending your BOL's after delivery you're going to have to chase brokers for your money. Nobody tells you how awful these auctions are Manheim, Adesa where even if you have a appointment they wont bring your car out for 3 hours after you arrive and just blame it on being under staffed every time, Copart which is an absolute disaster don't even go there. If you cant afford to spend 200K cash money to float you for 2-3 years before you ever really get established and start making money or get to a point where the customers are calling you instead of you always calling them then don't even waste your time. Car dealerships you'll call two hours out to give a heads up they'll tell you the vehicle is ready and then you show up and it's still not ready. You want to lose faith in most of humanity start your own car hauling company. This is a brief description I can give you all the info you want. Don't even get me started on the etiquette of other drivers blocking you in at every gas pump at every truck stop in America. Truckers dont even look out for each other anymore so don't expect brokers, dealerships, auctions, or normal 4 wheel drivers to. So like I said if you want to haul cars do not use your own money to start your own company, drive for someone else so that the day you realize oh this whole industry is terrible you can just quit and move on and not have to worry about all the money you wasted and selling off equipment and etc. And last thing as a owner operator if you're not willing to work normal routine 18 hour days, and some days 20+ hour days depending on what occurs or goes wrong then don't even thing about doing this. Yes I understand your E logs say you can only work a 14 hour day and 11 of that is driving, YOU WILL literally go broke as a owner operator if you think you're only going to work 14 hours because of your logs. Like I said if you wont work 18 hour days 7 days a week go do something else you're wasting your time.
@@diegocervantes9146 Someone getting into car hauling who doesn't even have a CDL and no experience has absolutely no business in a 9 car hauler on day 1. Way to many moving parts, way to big, way to many things that can go wrong for someone who isn't use to this stuff.

Good to know I’ll give that a try
Long form is better. We can see all the details on loading and unloading. Beautiful!
Thank you sir
Dr Ruth used to say bigger isn't always better
😂😂😂😂 she lies lol
Get the 48” flippers on the top tail of trailer! Made world of difference
Good to know I’ll ask about them
Do you have a video showing how to work the controls of the trailer what are the different types of trailers and why are they different
Good job, Matthew 👍
Thank you
I love long videos, i watch it all, this is my television, upload everything, a 2nd channel is cool too
Thank you as long as people aren’t turning away from the videos I’ll keep them longer
Im curious what we're some of the changes at urs which made you leave. I heard they have aome new dispatch thing going on. Im curious because i. Looking to go back. Did they lose some lanes?
It was goog to meet you at West Point last week
Thank you im glad I can put a face to the babe now.
Do you like having a sleeper more than a daycab??
I really like having the sleeper it does make life easier. But I’d go back to a daycab in a second if I could run 10 car loads again
@@CarcarrierTv makes sense the more cars you can call the more money you can make is it hard hauling nine cars
I liked the long video

@CashoutX_ that’s awesome I hope it all works out for you.
What’s the best way to work with the weights on the trailer
I’ll explain this in a video next week that’s a great video topic. Thank you

Why do a 6 car haul instead of a 9 car? You make more money and more dangerous
