Love the full unloading/loading aspects! Keep up the great content man. Been driving for 2 months now, Car hauling with a 5 car trailer. Can't wait to work my way up to a 10 car. It's an absolute treat watching how you operate that truck and trailer! Being new, going into new locations is stressful at times figuring out where to park. If it's possible, can you show how you maneuver into car lots if you find any to be tricky. I really enjoy learning from your videos! Stay safe out there friend!
Great video definitely agree with do everything in routine. It’s sad how many car haulers ask me why I walk away and physically check each pin is pinned before I check my height. Forgetting a pin is just dumb damage in my mind. Waiting on the phone to ring from waddle and hopefully I’ll be over there with you soon.
-Florida 14’ legal so you’re good with the trees, I know sometimes they look lower than they are. -Top rear trailer I lay out the rear strap first and park on it so you don’t have to worry about it falling off, or just leave the car up enough to get to a top hole. -Mirror method doesn’t work if you do a lot of big stuff, especially in the belly. Plus you can see if you got distracted and forgot to pull out the other ramp or didn’t raise your decks enough -what happened that you didn’t load the 2 unit drop first?
Yes ive seen it i like the orange nice!! Hey i also have question i jus got cdl and i wanna get into the car haulin i drive hotshot now with 5 car but no otr experience havnt gotten behind a semi yet but i would like to kno if united road or any recommendations companys that do hire felons felonys are not violent or nothing crazy n it has been 5+yrs ago
So I don’t know for sure but I’ll tell you what I’ve heard over the years. Most companies will as long as it’s not a recent thing. Then the big one that they’re gonna turn you away for is gonna be if it was auto theft related or violent like armed robbery or assault sort of stuff. But keeping your record clean since then will really help. I would apply at all the big companies that haul cars because they will be the ones that will train you.
Keep up the good work...running a 75ft Mid-rail currently and I wish it were 85 here in the Northeast. Using mirrors are a no no when you got pick-ups haha. But I only use mirrors when I'm loading a manual transmission...which I hate but have to sometimes.
Hey man I’ve been watching your videos all week. I am thinking seriously about getting my cdl and becoming a car hauler. Is there a company who hires new cdl holders? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for watching. Now as for new cdl holders getting into car hauling I don’t know of any. Most want at least 6 months of otr. But once you get that I would try to look into the big car hauling companies because they will be the ones that will train you to be a car hauler.
How high do you usually run? When I worked at Carvana we only let our guys run as high as 13’6. I’m assuming it’s okay to run higher depending on the state you’re in
No I quite United on a Friday and started at waddle on a Monday I didn’t do a ton of recording the first couple weeks because I didn’t need extra distractions while trying to learn the new equipment and dealerships to deliver to
I do agree with that except I hate street unloads. My feeling is I shouldn’t have to risk my life or limb in traffic to get you a product you need to stay in business. Dealerships need to plan their lots to have trucks on them and if they can they should get an off site location to receive their cars. And my reasoning is when was the last time Walmart needed to get a delivery but they told the truck driver to park in the center turning lane drag the pallet up to their front door.
This is my first bubble top and man it feels like I have all the room in the world to get dressed. I don’t miss my western star where it’s lay on your back while getting dressed.
First thing i been watching ur content very good info. Question 1- im 53yr young i wanna get my CDL and i really wanna do car hauling is there a certain size u have to be to get in&out of cars,cause im 5-11" 275 (2) do u think its to late to start trucking im not married no kids do u think sun country 5 car anniversary trailers good for long distance thanks stay safe out there
So there’s no real age or size limit to being a car hauler. It’s a great career. Now as for the sun country I wouldn’t recommend it for a long haul trailer. And it’s nothing about the company that makes the trailer bad it’s just you want to haul the most cars you possibly can when doing long haul. So I would personally recommend the Wally mo 8 car trailer if your going there high mount route.

I can probably do that. It would have to be dealerships that aren’t on busy roads but I can put my drone up
@@CarcarrierTv That would be awesome! I appreciate that.
Full length of loading and unloading is the absolute best
Great video definitely agree with do everything in routine. It’s sad how many car haulers ask me why I walk away and physically check each pin is pinned before I check my height. Forgetting a pin is just dumb damage in my mind.
Waiting on the phone to ring from waddle and hopefully I’ll be over there with you soon.
Man that’s awesome I hope to see you here. I’ll be honest I absolutely love it here
I would like to see more loading and unloading videos

I don’t know this trailer the best yet so I try to load my smallest units on the top of the trailer to leave turning room.
I wish it recorded from you eye sight view. But this is still very educational
Ive seen this truck around orlando nice truck
I was there this week
Yes ive seen it i like the orange nice!!

I’m a Owner Operator on the Van side but I wonder what kind of difference is it a Owner Operator hauling cars?

I try my best to always be 13’6. If Ik the route I’ll sometimes go 13’10 to give some extra space but I’m normally 13’6
How is the pay? Do you get mileage? Hourly? Per stop?
It’s percentage pay
@@CarcarrierTv So percentage of the value of the load? And is that as a company driver?
@marjankozovski2763 it’s percentage of what the load pays the company. And yes I’m a company driver
@@CarcarrierTv Thank you for your answer. Be safe.
Smart man to go in that direction it’s better than being up north…why a minute since when you switch companies were not working for united?
No I quite United on a Friday and started at waddle on a Monday I didn’t do a ton of recording the first couple weeks because I didn’t need extra distractions while trying to learn the new equipment and dealerships to deliver to
Great video Matt. One question at what percentage does Waddle start there new drivers ?
We all make the same so it’s 30%. Doesn’t matter if you’ve been here 10 years or 10 days they keep us all equal
When in doubt unload in the street. Sometimes calling the dealership in advance doesn’t always work out to your favor.
I do agree with that except I hate street unloads. My feeling is I shouldn’t have to risk my life or limb in traffic to get you a product you need to stay in business.

More relaxed I found you there🤔
Very much so
Virginia truck?
I think it used to be one
I not comfortable using mirrors but using mirrors is the way to do it if you can some cars if you lean out the window it wants to go into park
How do you like having that bubble top?? I miss mine since I got my chop top.
This is my first bubble top and man it feels like I have all the room in the world to get dressed. I don’t miss my western star where it’s lay on your back while getting dressed.
