So my thoughts on them are limited. But I’ll say they seem like a good trailer they operate exactly the same as mine. They have a cool idea with the way their pockets work but besides that I’ve never run one so I can’t comment on the quality of them or how well they will hold up over time
I drive a delivery van as a medical courier on a 300 mile route every day. I am 26 and don't make enough to even afford the cheapest apartments in my area despite working full time. I am seriously considering trucking as i enjoy being on the road, i have very few social connections and am desperate for money. I'm sick of being broke and I need to make up for the years I wasted.
Trucking is a great industry but I do recommend not getting yourself stuck in the reefer dry van industry. It’s gonna be the lowest paying and most time on the road part of trucking. Your gonna spend the first year or two in these industries to get your time in but after that specialize into a different end of the industry. That’s where you’ll make the most money and get the most free time get into something like car hauling tankers rgn oversized or hazmat.
@@CarcarrierTv I really appreciate your advice, I wasn't aware reefers were something best avoided. I started exploring trucking as an option recently because one of my trainees is a part time local truck driver and he more or less put the bug in my ear. I understand I gotta put some time in before I make real money, but I'm willing to learn to drive whatever pays me the most.
@user-oo1nn6uz8c me saying that isn’t saying reefers don’t pay well they very well may pay 1400-1500+ but it’s a ton of sitting and waiting and being on the road 3-4-5-6 weeks at a time and going home for 5-6 days. All well cad hauling pays $2000-$4000 a week all well going home every weekend sort of thing.
@@CarcarrierTv I see. It's still significantly more than I make now. I clear maybe 600 dollars on a good week. Even 1000 a week would feel like winning the lottery to me.
@@CarcarrierTv WOW! I'll take that as a warning bro. I was thinking about buying two 7 cars for my trucks and do this locally around New York, but If you let that go, must have been for a reason.
You can make money in car hauling but it’s a ton of work. I’d say your gonna make it harder with a 7 car because your limiting the number of vehicles you can haul and trying to stay in a small area will make it harder as well. Is it doable yes but you’ll have to be on your A game getting customers
@@CarcarrierTv I used to be on the road, (I personally like the south or Princeton IN/Cincinnati) I'm night slip seat for Hansen now, but I Usually run to WV and a local run.. or two 100 mile runs.
I didn’t even know they did slip seating over there. Does it pay pretty good or is it on par with the standard $1500-$2000 a week that most car hauler make
They can depending on the area your out of and how bad they need drivers. United will for curtain areas and not of others so it would be worth a call to a recruiter and at least see what they say.
Ok yea that’s their normal rule. As for getting into car hauling with no experience I’d try calling all the big company’s like jack cooper cassens Moore Virginia auto transport Hansen and Adkins. Companies like that but it still might be hard until you get 6 months otr because car hauling is specialized so they tend to be picky. What area are you out of?
Try getting ahold of Sutton transport Tom shanks transport online auto connection fine line auto transport and brother auto transport. They are all up in your area
Been there done that lol. I keep a plastic tote in my truck with all my essentials in it twic card food rain suit extra shoes and so on that way if I have to change trucks Ik I just have to grab that tote and I’ll have everything I need.
Haha. Actually I’m training in Romulus Michigan terminal at the moment was raining real bad and unloading I’m the only trainee haha I feel like a vip lol. Loving it ,,
I did my first Manheim load for Carvana in West Memphis. Loaded out of Houston Hobby location. My company wants us to mark down every scratch, chip, dent, broken items, and missing items on an inspection sheet and then document everything on our VIN app and take pictures of everything. So that said, it took me 10 1/2 hours to load. I never want to do that again.
Omg yea I never do that first we have a code that’s for auction units that states multiple scratches and dents auction unit. Then we have to list anything major. And our app scans the vins so we don’t have to type them all out
@@CarcarrierTv My alternator stopped working, so now I am waiting for road breakdown to find another one. I’m at the hotel I stayed at last night in West Memphis and they have been trying to get me going since 7:00 this morning. On top of all that. I-40 is shut down due to a structural crack on the Mississippi bridge. Everyone is forced onto I-55 and part of it is down to one lane.
I used to work for United Road. I recently switched companies to haul a different car brand out of the same yard. This new company pays actual miles (as in the miles on the odometer) plus a fixed amount per car. Worrying about deadhead miles or how much the load is grossing are things of the past for me!
Dang normally when I hear of a car hauler getting paid miles it’s always usal or cars but hey getting in with a company that your happy with and that treats you well is 90% of the battle.
They pay very well but that was actually a pretty bad week normally I make $8-$10k to the truck in a 5 day work week. I make 25% of that plus monthly quarterly and bi annual bonuses
Yes my son was born about 3 months ago now so thank you. And 6k a week getting home most nights isn’t bad but I will say I know as soon as everything is up to normal production levels that number should be up around 7-8k a week pretty easily. A lot of time is spent doing 2-3-4 drops when 1 droppers will cut 2-3 hours of running time out of each load
Any thoughts on the Lohr trailers?

What percentage will a new driver make
The average for all car haulers starting out should be about 25%
Hey did you get home everyday that week?
I think I was out 1 night that week
Your name please for referral on the application?
It’s Matt wihlen
What u think of long haul ? I wanna b otr ,, how is the money and best routes for that I’m from Baltimore terminal.
If you’re otr 3-4 months can you take 2 -3 weeks unpaid home time ?
I’d say I don’t think they would have a problem with that but that’s a question for your terminal manager to answer I really don’t know
My home terminal.. Walkertown NC
I like that yard down their which direction do you normally try to run

Do car hauler companies pay with no experience out of Cdl school?
They can depending on the area your out of and how bad they need drivers. United will for curtain areas and not of others so it would be worth a call to a recruiter and at least see what they say.
@@CarcarrierTv I did end up calling united road and they said they don’t offer training or no experience. Gotta have 6 months experience!

Yes it is it’s paid the second paycheck of each month
I start my car hauling career tomorrow . Wish me luck
What company are you going with and yes good luck hope it all works out
@@CarcarrierTv These amounts are in your pocket? Or total load amount?
I post load totals or totals to the truck my pay is 29% of the load
I have the outmost respect for what you do, working hard every day in this treacherous times in OEM hauling.👍
Appreciate that
I just left my job to go to Moore starting next month. Hope the market is better soon.
That’s awesome what yard are you gonna be running out of
@@CarcarrierTv Spring Hill
Oh ok you’ll probably see me up there that’s one of my favorite plants to run out of

I'd be happy doing $6k a week local.
you’re owner operator or company❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓
Company driver
@@CarcarrierTv wow that’s a good money in a week for a company driver
They pay very well but that was actually a pretty bad week normally I make $8-$10k to the truck in a 5 day work week. I make 25% of that plus monthly quarterly and bi annual bonuses
@@CarcarrierTv can you get me a job?
I can’t exactly get you a job here but you are more then welcome to apply using my link and using me as a referral if I’m the reason you came over.
When you say you made $5,500.00 a week, your a company driver, is that take home gross?
That was gross to the truck running local
I gotcha. Thanks
you should do a in the day of a life vlog. show us what you do daily. show us you driving into the dealership etc.
So is that 6k your gross pay or is that what the truck made doing the short haul?
That’s what the truck made for the 5 days
@@CarcarrierTv Ok. And what did you get out of that? Not sure how you guys get paid. Per car? Percentage?
Oh we are paid percentage I get a base 25% but then monthly quarterly and biannually bonuses based on what we make
I see that this was a few months ago, so I hope your son was born with out any issues.
Yes my son was born about 3 months ago now so thank you.
