Anybody Transport Cars???
I was wondering if anybody out there transports cars? I understand there is LOTS of $$$ in it. How does one get started? I figure a trailer and just throwing out your business card to the dealerships is a good way to get going? I was thinking of running a 2 car trailer vs the 3, only cause of my SRW. But, adding airbags would probably work out fine, yes?

Give me a little bit and I might can point you in the right direction

Not to try discourage you, but Dangerous is exactly right, the liability and paperwork that goes with trying to get into it yourself is ridiculous. I do strictly ag runs now with a piece of equipment once in a while cause I can bootleg that. If it something you really want to do I would find somewhere to lease on, yeah they take their cut but its well worth it, for what you dont have to do. .02

Exactly, I should have mentioned that before. If your trying to get into the business latch on with an established company and let them take their cut. You don't have to find your own loads and most of them will carry the insurance on you for a smaller fee than independent.

a friend of mine and his dad made 200K the first 6 months, he makes about 350K a year now, and he only runs about 4 days a week for the auto auction in columbus.....my brother was hauling travel trailers and sheds in state and making killer money.
