I don’t haul cars I pull a dry van but this year has been terrible for me financially I been doing a lot of sitting. I do good leaving out but like you said the back hauls come at the last minute
I have heard that dry van is even tougher then the cars have been this year. Not only are the loads few and far between but their also extremely cheap. I feel for ya
I work for a small company, and I differently been feeling the struggle right now. Pretty rough. I run fl to Co BK and forth, this time last year on 8 cars was making 4800 to 5300 round trip (9 days) and this year I'm lucky to make 3800 a run. Sometimes sitting down for a day or 2, to even find the work even from ks, mo, to fl is tight right now.
Man I hate to hear that. I hope with the strikes being over that we can get back to at least standard work rates. My pay hasn’t changed much if at all but I will say it seemed like last year getting loads was easy and this year I’m getting the back hauls but it’s starting to feel like they are coming through at the last second.
Yeah that Lawrenceville yard(Dacula) definitely has it fair share of damages and also units missing or misplaced in bays. When you can’t find a unit in the bay always check the fence line or the end of the row of lane around the 95 bays. And on the double letter side load on the right two lanes cause the fuel tanker complain that they can’t get by to get loaded so now we have to leave the left lane open for them. That yard is my old stomping grounds , I use to run 7 Silverado out of there daily. I just pick up from there to get to the house.
It didn’t seem like a bad yard to load out of I was pretty happy with it. Now I have to ask you I reached out to Virginia to see about coming over but they told me all they offer is 18/3 or 24/5. How in the world do you handle being home 14-16 times a year? I asked them if they paid over 300k a year because that would be the only way I’d ever consider doing a run like that. They didn’t seem all that happy with that comment but damn lol.
Hello how are you, great videos! How do the bonuses work, I understand that there monthly.. how much in product has to be delivered to achieve the first bonus.. and how do you know how much in product that your delivering is there a invoice that you receive
@@CarcarrierTv lol
Ok so the monthly is a simple bonus program it’s every 3 cars on the ground is worth a point and every 55 miles driven is worth a point. You start getting a bonus one you surpass 130 points a month.
Then you get a quarterly bonuses which is your longevity and that’s 1-10% of what you make in that quarter. Each year it goes up.
Lastly is your safety bonus and that’s 1% off every the truck makes and you get that every 6 months.
@@CarcarrierTv okay thank you for the information, that helps me understand, also 1to10% what do you start out at percentage wise, and do you gain each year percentage wise and how much..thanks
Hi Matt,Im watching your videos ..they are very useful ..I have new(last week) CDL A licence ..l want to start experience at carhaul trucks ..what should do ..whats your recommends ..thank you
The company i haul cars for is still fairly busy,Volkswageb in Chattanooga will be busy until plant shutdown in 3 weeks,we are also the countrys 2nd largest auto wholesaler so they buy cars everywhere,As drivers we need to save for the bad times when things are good. I heard URS is laying deivers off at their West Coast terminals.
I personally don’t know about really anything that’s happening on the west coast. But it wouldn’t surprise me if they did. Are you a driver for sec? And I hope you guys can stay busy I hate that a lot of ppl seem to be struggling right now
I laugh when I see the billboard that says, the best fudge comes from Uranus. I think it's in Missouri and Tennessee
It’s been years since I’ve been up that way but yes I remember those billboards
Does United hire out of Texas? I'm really wanting to get into the car hauling side.
Yes they do they have a San Antonio yard a Houston yard and a midlothian yard
Are you an owner operator? Or a regular company driver
I’ve reached out to your personal email a couple times with no response
I put you as a referral and I was just trying to get some insight on the company. I’ve not been with URS long
I’m gonna check my emails right now I’ll look for your name right now. I try to check my emails 1-2 times a day but maybe your email went to my spam folder I never check that.
What’s your email I can’t find anything with your name in my emails or just ask here and I’ll do my best to answer your questions
thanks for the video. what happens if you damage a car? do you pay for this out of pocket? I am an owner/operator. Do you recommend starting with United Road if you have your own truck?
As a company driver it comes out of your safety bonus but as a o/o yea your just gonna be paying it out of pocket.
I am starting next Monday at the newak nj yard. Regional work. Do you think they can keep me busy ? Thanks man
I would say yes with ease that’s an area that has a ton of work. Congrats on getting hired
Thanks man. Nyc region is by backyard. I am comfortable with places that lots of guys hate. Long Island, manhattan, brooklyn. That makes me valuable I guess. 😮
@andersonaraujo3262 if your god running those areas I’m sure they’ll love you for that. Because there’s lots of us that would park the truck before taking oneof those loads lol
Hey Anderson, congratulations on your new job. I'm with the red door company 😂in Newark, NJ. I'm local, so I live in traffic every day, never gets old
I tried car hauling and it’s not for me. 1.53/ mile with teamsters union benefits at no cost. I personally think it’s to much BS,responsibilities and time away from home for the pay. 1.53/ mile is great but lower guys don’t get the miles and to be honest I like sleeping in own bed . My respect for you guys be safe brother!
I’m a recent cdl school grad, recently put in an application. Does United hire new drivers? I’d love to run regional as well! Unfortunately I didn’t put you down as a reference.
Sadly they don’t normally. Normally you have to have a minimum of 6 months of otr experience. But if they do hire you please let me know. Also what area are you looking to run
@@CarcarrierTv Okay, I’ll keep you updated . But id be looking to run regional loads in the pacific north west/western regions. California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, etc.
where do you sleep?
Appreciate the content bro,
Do u think that having an automatic restriction will be an issue with united? I don't know how to drive manual
Driving the trucks I can’t see it being an issue but I have 2 manual cars on the load I’m hauling now
@CarcarrierTv hey bro, I mean I'm talking about driving manual truck with 10 or 13 speeds, most carriers are automatic these days , but idkn about united
@alexreddragon88 yea United is mostly automatics but your gonna have to learn to drive standard because we still haul cars that are standard and you can’t load them if you can’t drive them.
@CarcarrierTv I can drive a a traditional 6 speed, but to be honest I wouldn't want to drive a manual big rig... I already filled up my application with united...
@alexreddragon88 oh nvm then I was under the impression you didn’t know how to drive a manual at all. Then yea your gonna be fine here they have plenty of automatics so no worries there
Where is the rail yard ?
Dacula GA
Is there much interaction with the shipper and you or is it pick up and drop with no interaction?
There is normally a fair amount between finding them getting them to look around the cars and inspect them. I just don’t stick a camera in their face while they’re trying to do their job.
What type of drug test does united road do ? Urine or hail follicle ?
And do they hire straight out of CDL school
It’s pee test and no you gotta have a minimum of 6 mouths otr. And don’t do drugs do you don’t have to worry about how they drug test
Used car market really slow for us in the Midwest right now! New ford loads are crazy busy though
How much did you make for 2023? The amount you make for a company driver is insane! I just got my cdl permit and was wondering.
He mentioned on a different video 160,000.
When you get on a good run yes 140-160k is pretty common. The record for the company I’m at is 188k and he was still home most weekends
@@CarcarrierTv Geesh! That's amazing.
38,000 is that gross to the truck for the month
Yes that’s gross to the truck
I'm doing Houston to kc , kc to TN and SC back to TX staying hooked up so far without any layover.
@zaneturner4478 that sounds like it would be a great run
So, is that 10,000 take home a week
No that’s truck revenue I make 26% of that plus a monthly bonus of around 1600-2100
@@CarcarrierTvWhat is the bonus for? Safe driving ?
@dj39st so there’s 3 bonuses.
1 monthly/production bonus
2 quartely and that’s your longevity bonus
3 biannually that’s your safety bonus
You said that you don't normally get months like that but to me you seem to be spoon fed on a regular basis
😂😂😂😂 I would agree with you if I didn’t talk to 20+ drivers from yards all over the east coast that get runs like I do. I’m sure they have a list of drivers they can trust to get important loads to their deliveries at a specific time. And in 4 years I have never had a late time sensitive load.
You must be a spoon fed car hauler that could not make it as a car hauler
Good load driver.I would have backed the pick up in the belly for weight and you will put your self in a jam if it's raining backing it up and out trust me I always back pick up's in the belly for that always it gets side ways also.
I’ll that to try that on the quick loader. I used to always back in with my high rails and stackers but never tried it on the 80ft quick loaders
@CarcarrierTv I do it all the time much easier sir especially when it's raining are snowing are your up hill
I'm hauling ford pickups out of kc 80 ft quick loader I always back the one in the belly easier to get it off if the weather turns to crap
@richardallbritton0687 lol yea I hate loading or unloading in the snow doesn’t matter Car truck or suv not a big fan of it
Are you still stopping in that opening between the ram and latter or do you stop somewhere else
