I'm not sure where the F-450 dually came into play as I never mentioned that in my question. I have spoken to numerous people in truck stops who were hauling cars,......everything from 2 car trailers on up. You need to have the capacity to carry 2 cars to even break even. I grew up in the trucking industry,.......I know the ups and downs.
I have wanted to haul cars for some time and I feel now may be the right time for me. I am aware of Central Dispatch.
I would just prefer to drive for someone else in their truck before I drop 20-30 grand in equipment. I have trucks/tractors, but would have to purchase trailers. I'm looking at single axle tractors w/sleepers, and pulling 4 car,or 5-6 car double rack trailers.
I talked to one driver who in my opinion had an excellent set up. He had a single axle Freightliner FL-106, pulled a 4 car trailer ( 3 up/1 down) and had a wheel lift on the tractor. If he had a nieghborhood delivery he could not get the trailer into, he would drop the trailer, grab the car with the wheel lift, and deliver the car to the customers door.
I'm not sure I would want to go to that extreme, but I do want to get into this.
As I have stated in other posts, I have other business interests,but at heart,I'm a driver and I want to drive. I'll slow down late,for now, I want to work.
Thanks for all the advice and info.
