    Great Video, I have the same setup stinger 9 hauler( although I rarely have a 9 load due to pickups) quick loader. We are a different breed lol. Been at this for 15 years and I still love it. Must be nice always loading/unloading in warn weather, no frozen posts, no salt and sand., Winters are brutal up here in eastern Canada.

      Yes we are lol. And yes I love being in the south and barely having to deal with the salt and sand. My truck is 2 years old and just now barely showing some rust in the stone chips. I used to run the north when I first started but I don’t miss that at all

    I started in 1985 as a union carhauler on a 75 man board outside of Chicago. Seniority dispatch and drivers could pick as many loads as they could deliver and get loaded in that day. So drivers would take 3 to 4 loads a day. When it got to my turn to pick, there wouldn't be anything left. I was the bottom of the board for a year. But I stuck it out. 10 yrs as a union carhauler then 15 years as a lease o/o. Never had an easy day. Not everyone can be a carhauler.

      Awesome I’m glad to have you as a viewer. So as for getting into car hauling I try to tell everyone to take your time and learn it. Your probably gonna take a pay cut for the first month or two from whatever your doing but hauling cars isn’t like driving a semi. You gotta go into it knowing your making a career change. But once you learn how to haul cars and do it safely you can make $3000 a week fairly consistently.

I live in NM, what can i expect regional or local wise with routes out here? I normally run 4-6 weeks out before i go home. But i lease, and hearing that pay as company definitely enticed me.
    My ultimate goal is to run with reliable carriers, but they need a lot of experience.

      Ok so I’ll start off by saying thanks for watching and sadly I don’t know that area all that well. Now if you stay out that long I’ll say the area you start won’t matter all that much because you’ll get to great work someplace if it’s slow there. But that said from what I’ve heard over the few years I’ve been here it seems like they run a lot of Cali to Texas and back work in that area. Idk how well it pays that seems like route they have which would get you back home most weekends I’d say. If you wanted to be. Also if you get in with United road you can always step up into their soft side enclosed or move into pilot transport which is United’s hard side enclosed division as well.

It’s basically you can either go here or wait a day until i tell you where you can go if you deny their load. And the fact you make as much as my average as a lease driver while i have a truck payment and pay full price on health insurance makes me want to switch over for my families sake lol

      I ran my own trucking company for 11 years and did very well with it but the health insurance is what got me to come over here. I have the best of everything they offer for insurances here and I pay right around 460-500 a month. Plus it’s a no deductible plan so my health insurance picks everything up expect the copay. But if you have a family at home try really hard to be home as often as you can. I could easily make more then I do but I only run mon-fri so I can watch my kids grow up.

Or what do you think about starting in United Roads enclosed section first?

    • @CarcarrierTv

      So idk much about hogan so I can’t really say much there. As for the hourly thing United doesn’t pay that but they do have a minimum weekly pay as long as your putting in the hours and I think it’s 100 hours every two weeks and you’ll make a minimum of 1250 weekly I think. lol or those used to be the numbers. As for the enclosed work I doubt you’ll get in with no experience. I’m pretty sure they want 5 years of car hauling experience first. They get pretty picky who they let load $500,000 cars lol. But also with hogan I’ve never heard much complaining about them so they may be pretty good to their drivers I just don’t know.

      @CarcarrierTv  Рік тому +1

      @jeffreyulery2182 so I’ll say most companies are a bit more choosy right now simply because last year was a boom in the car market for deliveries and this year is a bit slower. But your getting into one of the busiest seasons normally November through the end of the year is a giant push to get cars delivered before the turn of the new year. Summer is our slow season a lot less cars are purchased simply because everyone is on vacation and you have the summer factory retooling shit downs. So I’d keep reaching out because the hiring should pickup in the next month or so

      @CarcarrierTv  2 роки тому +2

      I would say most of the large companies do. United definitely does. If you want otr I’m sure you can find it most car haul companies have trouble finding guys who want to stay out and guys who want to run local. So if you want to do either I’d say finding woke shouldn’t be that hard.

      So the short answer is yes being a company driver you will make more money in the short term with a ton less effort. But in the long term if you can grow and be smart with your money you have to potential to make a ton more money. But you will need to grow and I’m talking like 10-20+ trucks. So if you just want to be a one man band then become a company driver with a great company. I’m not saying United will be the best for you but find someone like them that will treat you right and take care of you.
