I'm getting into trucking, and I [think] I'm going to choose car hauling, for two reasons: 1) home daily (or close enough), since most dealerships/bodyshops/auctions/etc. operate during the day anyways 2) physically active, you're not just sitting all day. you're entering/exiting, climbing, pulling, ratcheting/strapping, etc. etc. etc. What are your thoughts?
Nothing makes me more upset than showing up on time to an appointment and having to wait. I've time I was to told to load at 7am and didnt start loading till 9:30-10am
Great video mate. I start my job as a car haulier in the UK next month on an 11 car transporter. Starting from scratch, so nervous about the job, it looks like so much information to take in!
@@Brad93Jones hi mate read that your just starting out on a 11 car transporter.I did 20 years on transporters 94/2014 the last 11 yrs on a 11 car.if there’s any advice I can give is take your time,don’t be afraid to ask for help.good luck..
@@HammerDownDriver I keep at least 5 jumbo Honey Buns in the truck at all times. I haul coal so I’m home every night usually so every morning I stop and buy one and if I think I’ll eat another one that day I’ll buy an extra one to make sure I’ve got 5 in the truck at all times never know I might be hungry and tell myself I’ll stop and get something after I get loaded and might have to wait 3-4 hours while they’re getting a pit ready to haul or the deep mine is down and they’re not running coal or o might breakdown I mean anything is possible and I’m ready for just about any situation or at least I won’t starve because one job I haul from occasionally is 4 miles after you turn off the blacktop until you even get on mine property it covers 3 counties in southeast Kentucky
100% had dealership say they be open as they sent me the wrong Benz omw ok.. get there every one gone.. but one guy said he wasn't signing the paperwork..
Lol! I was loading a stick shift 8 series BMW behind the cab one time and I was trying not to spin out over the pullouts skids that connect the tractor to the trailer and another driver drove up and said "don't worry it's only $120,000 vehicle! I was like" cool thanks, you're a big help" LOL. You said you don't like those piss beers lol, neither do i. What beers DO u like?
Oohhh that can be sketchy for sure. I've a bunch of drivers slide cars over from little burnouts. Its always a scary feeling lol. I'm more a dark beer, ipa, Indian pale ale kind of guy. How about you?
New to the channel, glad to see another car hauler on UA-cam. Love the vlogs and do you ever run the east coast? I drive for Virginia and been trying to get west but we don’t do a lot of freight out that way....
Hey bro thanks for checking out the channel welcome 🙏 I use to run to Chattanooga to pick up Volkswagens a while back but not anymore with this company I'm with.
Question: What’s your opinion on Owner operator for United? I heard they pay really well. Can you give me pros and cons between O/O and Company Drivers.
I have been driving Trucks (Dry Van, Reefer for many years) do you have any advice for Inexperienced Car haulers? I’m about to step out of my comfort zone and begin car hauling in 2 weeks. Thanks
Looking for a truck to get my older mustang from FL to TX. Was asked if I had forklift (car steers and brakes, not start). Who uses a forklift to load car?? Should I be worried?
Does deluxe have a lease purchase program? I've been trying to get on with SME but I haven't heard anything back from them. I work for professional and I'm tired of making more money for them than I should be making.
@@HammerDownDriver I’m new to trucking and I drive reefer’s and I wish we didn’t scale our loads as often. I started in January driving OTR and I love every time I get behind the wheel. I watch videos of truckers on my off time because I enjoy driving. My favorite area to stop is Donor’s Pass. It’s beautiful with and without snow.
Hammer Down Driver aye we preciate u bro! Especially during quarantine lol. Can’t wait to get back to hauling. More than glad u still working brotha, stay safe & plz keep blessing us with the content fam! ✊🏾
My dad is a manager of a truck company and love the Pete and love it
Lmao....you are not the only who thinks that about the 49er....i love California everytime i come threw i look up the mom and pops when i can....
That's a good move wished I learned that when I started.

Yes exactly how I stay fit and stay sharp. Everyday is different every load is different. It's the best trucking job hands down
Lol 😆 home daily hahahahaha on Stinger
I start school for my CDLs 2mrw I want to stack up get my own truck and do car hauling, I enjoyed the video keep em coming it seems like a brotherhood
Nothing makes me more upset than showing up on time to an appointment and having to wait. I've time I was to told to load at 7am and didnt start loading till 9:30-10am
Bro for real!
My father was a car hauler until the covid hit and knocked down the boards. Now he hauls freight. I’m 14 and go with him sometime.
Thats awesome I wish I was going on the road at your age
Hammer Down Driver Yeah, I bet! I’ve been riding with him for about a year now. And it changed me a bit. It changed my taste in music and personality.
Love all your trucker buddies at the end
All da homies

Cheers man thanks. It absolutely is 100%. It's gonna take a minute to get you're routine down. But don't give up and keep grinding bro.
What part of UK are you going to be hauling in? I have family in Portsmouth and London
@@HammerDownDriver Thanks brother, much appreciated! I’ll be based out of Doncaster but driving throughout the UK

What's the pay like for car hauler in the UK ? Average yearly salary ?
Love how he has a Lyft sticker in his semi

Congratulations

100% had dealership say they be open as they sent me the wrong Benz omw ok.. get there every one gone.. but one guy said he wasn't signing the paperwork..

I like the porters, stouts, and Hefeweizens 😁
@@jenifinley very nice I like your style. Love me some stouts and chocolate porters!
There is no stickshift 8 Series except for 90's models
You probably drove an M4
Or an older 6 Series (M6, 650, 645, etc)
Ur right it was probably an m4 but those are all 4 door right? So strange that a 4 door is so expensive
Thank you for your reply 🙏
Still at the dirty deluxe
😅🤣😅 yes sir
Why you have lyft on your windshield?

Love this!
Thank you driver!😁
Question:
What’s your opinion on Owner operator for United?
I heard they pay really well.
Can you give me pros and cons between O/O and Company Drivers.
Get that workout in boy!!
I have been driving Trucks (Dry Van, Reefer for many years) do you have any advice for Inexperienced Car haulers? I’m about to step out of my comfort zone and begin car hauling in 2 weeks. Thanks
How is it
Is there a navigation in there? because I’m confused on how drivers know where to go
It's an option from factory. The truck I'm in has navigation.
Using a semi for Lyft?
Do anyone know how to unhook the trailer I’m new to the game an got to drop the trailer to get the truck into the Pete shop
What kind of special cdl
Im sober now but i used to love modelo
lol all good, i only drink modelos when i'm eating tacos.
Looking for a truck to get my older mustang from FL to TX. Was asked if I had forklift (car steers and brakes, not start). Who uses a forklift to load car?? Should I be worried?
Common practice just be sure the forklift is rated to handle the weight of your car lol
What are the songs artist and titles to these jams
That's a tuff one but I get all my music from Epidemic Sound.
You really love those honey buns!
Lmao, yes I do!
Hey bro quick question how many days are you out and how many are you home ? And do you guys run Arizona. Gracias
I'm out for as many days as I want. We run all of the west coast. AZ, WA, OR, UT, CA, NV, sometimes on the east coast.
Hammer Down Driver nice 👍🏼 I see you guys all over Cali. Stay up bro keep on trucking 🤙🏽 New sub
Man your music is dope!!
I appreciate you I try to find music I would life to listen to if I was watching a trucking video.
Hey bro, are you considered an OTR driver, or REGELION driver or a local driver?
Great stuff brotha! What do you use to film this?
Thanks brotha. Just using my a galaxy note 9 and note 8 with some gimbal and phone mounts. Nothing crazy. Simple imovie magic haha.
I want to do this job
I’m dying to get out of reefer
Thinking about getting into car hauling what is low load and is 25% of the load minus fuel worth it
Low load? I don't know what that is.
I'm a company driver so I don't worry about fuel
@@HammerDownDriver ok thanks. What is the going rate for a company car haulers.
@@drs9147 you paid %25 of whatever the load pays.
Dude how high were you on that two tahoes on the tractor demn !
I never check when I'm doing locals in vegas 😆 most of the bridges here are 16ft plus
Lol thats crazy
MUY BUENO TU VIDEO SALUDOS DESDE PANAMA🖐🇵🇦🇵🇦
Out of curiosity, please how much do car haulers make a year
Alot
Hey bro do they hire new CDL school graduates at deluxe auto carrier with no experience at car hauling? I’m 21 and just got my cdl 😬🤞🏼
I'm not really sure bro, you can always apply and ask them. Good luck driver.
What company you work for
That is a Deluxe truck based in Jurupa CA
Hello Sir, does your have company lease operators? Does your do company lease buy programs?
No they don't
Does deluxe have a lease purchase program? I've been trying to get on with SME but I haven't heard anything back from them. I work for professional and I'm tired of making more money for them than I should be making.
That’s a boysdton trailer ?
Yes sir.
i feel like id be perfect im small 5"6 130 pounds lol
As a car hauler do you have to scale your load?
Not really, I've scaled my load maybe 6 times, in the last 4 years of car hauling

@@cliff4733 yeah Donner pass rest area is a good spot for sure.

Trump definitely won 2020 I still can’t believe what’s going on
