Just subscribed to your channel. I'm picking up a lot of knowledge you're putting down. I was an owner op for 7 years.. pulled reefer, dry box, step deck, flatbed, lowboy, walking floor etc and I just started hauling cars on a 2017 389 ez loader. I love it and wanna buy my own but I'm a little uneasy making the leap off first on a 9 car ez loader. I was thinking on buying a used 7 or 8 car high mount to pull behind my pete. I have a 95 379 wit 320 wb. In essence, I could always extend the top deck out to possibly fit another vehicle on depending on what else I place on top no? My plan is to get atleast a year experience hauling cars as a company driver before I jump on my own

[@rolandroy6885]

Been to a quite few dealerships where I had to block the street and back into the lot,, sometimes it's a pain in the as

[@CarcarrierTv]

Same here luckily for me it’s only I think 2 because I tend to go to the same 30-40 dealerships only

[@JohnMiller-tl7hf]

Spot on i too started with a3 car wedge moved up to 6 car Wally Mo and now 10 car high rail my insurance cost is less with a stinger I’m still learning the high rail my only regrets should bought a 80’ quick loader simply because of all the new vehicles I haul . The other thing I didn’t know when I started was law enforcement if you have a 3 car wedge your going to get pulled over state of Tennessee has told me 70% of all hot shots are in violation

[@CarcarrierTv]

Your completely right about the hot shots and the dot officers Ik in Tennessee say if they don’t have anything to do paperwork wise if they see a hot shot roll through they will almost always pull them out back

[@jaysonlavictoire6076]

Looks like I was in the 30 percentile. Lol. Always passed my DOT except for one time.

[@godkingathleticsllc4218]

I interviewed with Chance in Monday and he advised that I check out your videos. Great stuff!!!

[@CarcarrierTv]

Awesome thank you I haven’t seen chance in probably 3-5 years. I used to run nissan nv vans for him out of Mississippi. Is he still over that way or did United move him to a different yard

[@issacissac1327]

So after training do you keep your guaranteed pay plus 25% so if you make 10k for the company one week then you’ll make 3700$ for that one week and I know you get paid biweekly so let’s say you do that the next week too then would you make 7,400$ in one paycheck??? I’m joining this company and they are not clear on this. Because if I’m making 7400 paychecks then I’ll one hundred percent stay at this job.

[@rodyjperez7659]

What is a good paying load?

[@CarcarrierTv]

Most of my loads pay me 600-900 a load but last week I had a run that paid me 2200 so it really depends on what your hauling and to where

[@soyolooerdene6121]

I have 3 years of car hauler experience. Do you know your company sponsor green card for emigrants?

[@CarcarrierTv]

That is something I have no idea about but if you call recruiting and ask I’m sure they can tell you

[@FloridamadeJay81]

I’m moving from 7 car cottell to a 10 car

[@CarcarrierTv]

You’ll love it. Once I made the move from a high mount to a stinger I’ve never looked back. Let us know how you like it once you get it down and if you have any questions shoot me an email

[@FloridamadeJay81]

@@CarcarrierTv Thanks I sure will

[@zDEMONiiK]

When you say 10k you mean that you make for the company as the driver on in your pocket ? I am asking because I am really interested on joining United roads after getting out of the school

[@CarcarrierTv]

Definitely hit them up if car hauling is what you want to do. Hauling cars is all I have ever done so I don’t have any info on other types of hauling out there. But no 10k is to the company normally when car haulers talk about what they make it’s based on trucks gross and then we make between 25-30% off what the trucks gross is.

[@zDEMONiiK]

@@CarcarrierTv thank you for your time and response makes way more sense to me now and yes that w I wanna do so far

[@CarcarrierTv]

Any time. Also keep us all posted on how it’s going and if you do get into car hauling for your first job or not

I’m in a hotel every night and yes they pay for it

[@mbekka1]

Fucking awesome 😂United is an amazing company can’t wait to start.

[@robertallred2368]

The only thing I don't like on a stinger is large pickups. Like 4500's. A 4 car wedge semi, I think is better. Both the steer and dulles, hang over making it hard to load.

[@nickstrandberg1377]

Another awesome video! Thanks. I've been kicking the idea of doing my own videos, I've done a couple. Do you have any points on doing it?

[@CarcarrierTv]

Honestly make them and post them is the biggest after that just be yourself and find a path you want your videos to go down. Do you want them to be informative like mine or do you have a big personality and you can be more entertaining type of thing. My thing is I’m more of an introvert and I don’t have a big loud personality so informative style suits me I’m not the life of the party type never wanted to be I’m the type man I’m the ass hole saying dude you can make that jump don’t worry about it lol. But seriously it’s all about getting them out there and doing what you enjoy once you find that the viewers will find you my channel is very niche so it’s never gonna have a couple 100,000 subs I figure for an informative channel that’s about a niche part of the trucking industry I’ll top out around 20k-30k subs. So I’ll leave it off with set goals you want the channel to do and then build in that direction

[@SmittysSpareTimeProjects]

I was always told "if you're backing in and someone hits you it's their fault, backing out its your fault" so I tend to back in everywhere if I'm unsure and have no delivery details.

[@CarcarrierTv]

I do that most of the time as well. Also ppl don’t realize backing onto a main road is illegal. So if I have to back out onto a road I either have a spotter or I call for a local sheriff or town police to come out and stop traffic so I don’t kill anyone not paying attention

[@mbekka1]

Car haulers don’t back up most of the time

[@luisorriola9411]

What’s the average revenue to the truck? I start on the 23rd been following you for a while now so I knew I had to ask you. I’d like to get 10k or more if possible. I’ll be running out of Newark NJ

[@CarcarrierTv]

I know you guys tend to have a ton of work up there but I don’t know the number for certain up there. But I’d say if you hustle like I do $8-$10k should be pretty achievable. Now you may have to run a schedule of getting up really early simply because of traffic up there to get the miles in. But if you have run so you don’t get caught in the traffic you should be good

[@luisorriola9411]

@@CarcarrierTv yea that’s my goal is to hustle for sure. I’m also hoping they allow me to get some long runs in as well

[@CarcarrierTv]

If they have access to long runs I’m sure you’ll get some. I just don’t know where their freight goes from up there so I’m not a lotta help on that end

[@delandomcmichael499]

I stay in Georgia and I have my CDLs and have 4+ yrs OTR and I’ve been thinking about doing car hauling any advice and what’s a good company to go to

[@CarcarrierTv]

United road is in my opinion the best plus being in Georgia if you want to stay local there’s 3-4 terminals right around there that can keep you local if you want to run long there’s 6-7 terminals that can send you otr or regional right around Georgia. That’s a great location if you came to United

[@donaldgreene3105]

Where in Georgia

[@delandomcmichael499]

Douglasville

[@donaldgreene3105]

Should be able to average $2000

[@donaldgreene3105]

I loaded in west point this week talked to a driver in a new peterbilt flat top sleeper Lohr set up he said empty full of fuel 41830 weight you think that's right?

[@CarcarrierTv]

I wouldn’t doubt that I’m 42,650 empty full of fuel so he’s probably right depending on options on his unit

[@DuaneJames-nx9hj]

Sorry 1-do your hire felons that is 12 years old? 2-how much driving experience do you need to drive a car hauler for your company ? 3-do y'all stay loaded? 4-and if not how much down time do you have in between loads? And can you let me know any second chance car companies willing to train one year experience,

[@CarcarrierTv]

So as for felons yes as long as it’s not auto theft. The driving experience is at least 6 months otr. Staying loaded yes in 3 years here I have only 1 time waited for a load. Normally your next load is 100-200 miles away. And there’s no downtime they have all the work you could ever want so as long as your willing they have another load for you

[@daves2552]

Trust me. They hire even if you have auto theft. Even if in your younger days you stole a transport full of cars destined for the fbi.

[@FloridamadeJay81]

This so informative🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Ian-xw1ge]

Thanks for the information. Yeah looking to do car hauling. Dry Van is getting boring

[@CarcarrierTv]

You should. I always recommend people to try car hauling or anything else they are thinking about trying. You can always go back to what you know. United road will train you if your in an area they are hiring in otherwise start applying to outfits that will suit what your looking to do

[@nguyenchuong7142]

I really want to do car hauler. I live in Orange County California. Do you have any informational ? Thank you

[@CarcarrierTv]

Honestly I don’t know the West cost cad hauling market at all. I do know United road has terminals out that way but that’s as far as my knowledge out there goes.

[@MrDmacc1]

Try hansen & Adkins Auto Transport , I believe they're in all States, there's one in Los Alamitos I believe, I got this information from a KZbin car hauler name King Drode , he just recently started car hauling, and I'm interested in learning, so I ask him the same question, was there any companies that hire and train a new cdl holder, out here in So Cal, and thats the company he said. Let me know if you have any luck.

[@nickstrandberg1377]

Thanks man appreciate it!!

[@jnatty75]

I'm curious what is your take home pay since your not an OWNER OPERATOR??

[@CarcarrierTv]

So I can’t say my actual number because of the rules here at United but I will say it’s over 130k a year

[@jnatty75]

@CarcarrierTv ok thank you for responding! Looking into getting a truck with a 7 or 8 car trailer 🤔 but it seems like united isn't a bad company to haul for... only thing is I want to be home every night lol so looks like I'll be getting my own truck

[@CarcarrierTv]

@jnatty75 I completely understand that. So yea you’ll just need to let them know your looking to run local. Most of our yards have local work so I don’t think that would be very hard to find

[@rydn2lo]

Thought I seen you in Goldsboro NC but your in FL

[@CarcarrierTv]

I was in Greensboro last week

[@CaptainAries98]

what would happen if a customer cancels the order or if they were running late? would that impact ur pay and would the company be upset at you for waiting on the customer? sorry i know i have 0 experience and currently dont have a CDL but planning on getting it soon

[@CarcarrierTv]

Yes to all of your questions lol. They may pay me a little for the cancellation but honestly that hardly ever happens in the car industry. For the most part your load is ready when you get it so it’s not like running a fry van or reefer

[@CaptainAries98]

@@CarcarrierTv i appreciate it. would a company hire someone with tickets on their record or misdemeanor tickets?

[@CarcarrierTv]

@CaptainAries98 the short answer is yes but the longer one is it depends on when you got them and what they were for.

[@CaptainAries98]

@@CarcarrierTv i appreciate it. would they question the ticketsif one was recent and the other happened 2yrs ago?

@CaptainAries98 the two year one is still in the 3 year window so they would want to know about it if it was a moving violation. If they are fix it tickets they won’t care much.

Ready to buy me a car hauler

[@CarcarrierTv]

That’s awesome are you buying new or used and what are you thinking about for a truck

[@ThaStevoShow]

@@CarcarrierTv I would love a new one but I would definitely have to buy a use one. I currently drive a 80ft pete quick loader. It's a company truck

[@CarcarrierTv]

Ok that’s what I was gonna recommend is a 80ft truck. And as for the new truck I always bought used but when it comes to these emission trucks I would definitely save up to buy new. Yes new ones can have lots of problems as well but it’s more likely to not. But run the numbers take 80% off what your making the company your working for each week and see if it’s gonna be affordable

[@DuaneJames-nx9hj]

Hi can u answer these questions for me please; 1

The best part of getting your CDL is getting to participate in the random drug testing program ( that's sarcasm)

[@elperrocovero]

That’s even if your still your own boss

[@derwinraymond8358]

Is it possible to gross 20k a week?

[@CarcarrierTv]

Maybe once in a while when you have a great week but not every week. Nobody is pulling $1,040,000 a year with 1 truck. There’s guys making 450-550k per year but that’s not many of them. And they also aren’t gonna be home ever. Expect 350-450 for most good car haulers and anyone who tries to say different tell them to show their tax statements

[@derwinraymond8358]

@CarcarrierTv is Jacksonville to California and back a good lane? For a 8 car hauler?

[@CarcarrierTv]

Every lane can be good and bad at different times of the year so I don’t know for sure. But the key is gonna be having your own work going one of those directions. The way I ran my company was I made a profit on the whole week on my own work in one direction that way I didn’t need the back hauls if they sucked. There will be times that your back haul may be 8 picks and 8 drops and when that happens I would just hustle back or partway back to get to a better load. But with cars if you aren’t set on 1 route 100% of the time you can make any lane work well

[@MrDmacc1]

@@CarcarrierTv out of the 350-450 k how much is Net, because you can gross 1million dollars, but how much do you actually keep,

[@CarcarrierTv]

So car hauling should be done in 1/4s meaning when your pricing work for a normal run 25% of gross should be fuel 25% should be driver pay 25% should be bills and repairs and 25% profit. So a truck that pulls 400k in a year 100k should be profits if everything goes smoothly. But realistically you’ll probably keep 40-60k at the end of the year

[@mbekka1]

Is it hard to back in with stinger ? Or similar to dry van trailer ?

[@CarcarrierTv]

It’s not hard you just gotta learn how they turn but no they are nothing like a dry van you can’t jack a car hauler around. When backing for the most part it’s gonna be all 45° angles otherwise you’ll crunch cars

[@mbekka1]

Thank you I’m starting Monday my orientation with United road in Baltimore,, you inspired me I was a household mover for 3 yrs ,, time for a change and car hauling was my goal,,

[@CarcarrierTv]

That’s awesome i hope it all works out well for you up there. Baltimore has a ton of work near by you have Balt with 4-5 car makes they haul you have Newark with 2-3 makes and they have Toyota which is a ton of cars a year then you got Philly with Kia also you have new port news and Richmond yards. So lots of cars within an hour or so of balt.
