im no help because iver never done it, but here a bump to the top to help ya out

 

what kind of help you looking for?

 

I am looking for someone that knows were I should get started how to find a broker or what I need to do??

 

start checking out commercial insurance

 

you wanting to pull a bumper or gooseneck?? i would prefer a gooseneck if your pulling a 2car, and yes check insurance with your insurance people so if something happens your covered!!!!!

 

yea a gooseneck and i got a good insureance guy.

 

but u need special insurance to cover trailers and what your hauling on the trailer. and then your good tago. if ur smart ud use chains and binders and not straps.

 

You will need to find an insurance broker that sells Commercial Policies to cover not just the trailer but the truck towing it and what ever you plan to haul.
You will need to set up some sort of LLC to limit your personnel exposure in case of accidents or damage to whatever you are hauling due to your negligence or someone else's. You will also need insurance for this LLC.
Your truck may need to be licensed with Commercial Carrier tags. (This varies from state to state) Check with your local DMV.
You will need Federal DOT numbers and Company signage applied to your truck and or trailer.
You will need Federal and State TAX numbers.

Have you figured out what your local hauling rates are per car? You will need to sit down and figure out how many loads you will need to turn every month, with the equipment you plan on using, to cover all of your costs.

This is just my "TWO CENTS" at a glance. Don't let it freak you out.

 

If you haul other that cars meant for the scrap use straps to chain or just full strap plus straps are lighter and can hold more than chain
Hell in the last year my cousin has hauled 257 cars all over the US hauling "hot shot" loads and private jobs all he uses is straps!
just my .02 Cents
