I’ve applied based on your videos and because I want the experience. Just waiting on a call back from the recruiter. I’m currently a glass hauler in the lower 48 and Canada. I prefer OTR in a sleeper so I hope those are still an option as I can’t wrap my head around hotel stays in a daycab with a 75-80’ trailer that low to the ground, 😂. Keep the videos coming and thanks for the info.
Awesome I’m glad to hear it. I hope you put me as your referral. What part of the country do you live so I can hopefully give you an idea of what they have in that area
@@CarcarrierTv I’m in Fort Worth, Texas. Forgot to add a referral to the application though but if the recruiter asks me for one of course I’ll make sure to mention you. I believe the company has a terminal in Arlington and that’s close to me.
@@CarcarrierTv thanks for the info. Hopefully the recruiter will reach out soon and I can see what’s available. Submitted application on Sunday of this week. 🤞
Thank you for doing this video. Brought back memories of when I worked in the yard in Janesville Wisconsin brining loads up for the drivers. My dad drove a car hauler there. He drove a 2878 if you know what that is?
That seems quite low what area do you haul out of? Most of my loads tend to be around the $1 per mile mark for both out hauls and back hauls. But I’ve also gotten some runs that seem to pay like $.30 a mile before
Hey brother, currently driving flatbed but coming to car hauling in April. I have a ton of questions but pertaining to this video. How do you all know how close or far apart to park the vehicles on the tractor/trailer? I‘ve been watching tons of videos to gain as much knowledge as possible before starting. Thank you for your time and information!
So that’s something that you will learn over time but the rule of thumb is at least your fist with your thumb up for bounce from bottom units to top deck. For bumper clearance between cars on trailer it’s at least a fist between bumpers. And head rack to trailer it’s 18 inches so I say make a fist and the distance between your elbow to your knuckles
@@CarcarrierTv Thank you very much, if I chose to go with United I’ll make sure to use you as a reference! As for now keep making great content, it is working and I am learning! Thank you!
@@CarcarrierTv I have 3 year OTR flatbed experience , perfect mvr, trying to get into car hauling does your company hire without car hauling experience?
I will say they are mostly pretty good. You have some old ones from time to time but nothing dirty. You get to pick the hotels you wanna stay in as long as they’re in the CLC plan. I think in 3 years I booked a hotel twice got there and then said nvm I’ll look elsewhere
Why would you Not want to be in a union, especially in car haul? The guy in this video seems like a very conscientious and responsible person in regard to his approach to job performance. These are the type of people the union carriers are looking for. Over the years, I have witnessed the shortcomings of poorly trained and unskilled non-union drivers. You can make damn good money with unrivaled benefits working under a union contract without the constant need to kill yourself working relentlessly and worrying about time deadlines. Unions get the bad rap over the senority aspect. Believe me, any distasteful senority issues when first hired are a small price to pay for a short time with a rewarding outcome by sticking it out.
I appreciate the good words you have about my channel. And as for not working for the union I don’t have anything personally against it I just love the freedoms I get here in the way I’m allowed to run my truck. Now I’m not saying the union wouldn’t allow that but here if I wanna stay on my normal run I can or if I get the urge to run long coast to coast I can whenever I want or if I just want a week of different scenery I can run wherever I want. Like I said idk if you can run that way or not in the union but I like that I can do that here
Personally, I think the car hauling industry is absolutely outrageously ridiculous. I say good luck to everyone who goes into that industry. It is absolutely positively not worth it. That’s my personal opinion everybody could feel differently.
I drive for Cassens Transport they pay me $1.55 a mile full Medical good retirement yeah we’re in the union they take union dues out of my check I don’t even notice it I love the Teamsters most of us make over 100 grand a year

I hope so as well. It did take them 2 weeks to call me after I applied
Love this kind of video!!!!
Nice video..very informative. Subscribed
I'm just glad to see you are still living the dream
Thank you for the video.
16:29 Love it!!
Thank u for ur video I subscribed my question how night should be so can pass under the bridge?
I'd like to know more of your thought process on why your loading the cars where you are
I can do that
I’m busy at the port my self but I’ll definitely check back witcha okay?
Thank you for doing this video. Brought back memories of when I worked in the yard in Janesville Wisconsin brining loads up for the drivers. My dad drove a car hauler there. He drove a 2878 if you know what that is?
Your welcome and no I wish I did know what trailer that is. Do you know who built it I would love to try to find some photos of it.
@@CarcarrierTvDelavan built it. Thee are pictures out there.
@rsrdevon I’ll definitely check that out. I learned how to stack on a 1972 delevan idk the model but the trailer was a tank
Oh heck yeah, long video for the win!!!
😂😂😂😂 thanks if you guys want longer videos I can make them longer
Absolutely yes!!!!
United Road, like any other company pays .60/mile or less. As a company driver they offered me three loads which all were .55/mile to .58/mile
That seems quite low what area do you haul out of? Most of my loads tend to be around the $1 per mile mark for both out hauls and back hauls. But I’ve also gotten some runs that seem to pay like $.30 a mile before
Thanks for the great content. Know anything about car hauling for CarMax?
I really don’t know much other then I think your home every night.
Awesome video! - What do you do with low sports cars? Are they a problem?
Why is it that United Road doesn't have sleepers?
They do they’re just in the more otr yards not the local regional yards
@@CarcarrierTv I will run out of a Mississippi terminal.
@yoguttier3324 I don’t know what work they have left over there so I can’t really help on which trucks they’ll have
@CarcarrierTv that's ok, I appreciate you.
I'm curious if there's any kind of weather that you avoid loading or unloading in. Maybe icy conditions?
What’s your name and how long is orientation and why you don’t talk about orientation? What do they do on orientation and how new is the equipment?
I would’ve like to see more up close video where you’re stopping the tires and strapping them. Otherwise great video bro.

You talk about low clearances and how to avoid them?
I'm learning how to drive an auto color any advice
I wish you were able to record this video from your eyesight view that way we can see how you are securing it up close
It is so dangerous not to pin the upper deck 🫣
Wondering are you company driver or Owner operator?
I’m a company driver
Thanx for the video shows how tough you have to work but you also let me know it's not impossible 🤝🚛🛻🚙🛻🚙
No it’s 100% possible to make money in it but yes it is hard work. But with that hard work comes the money for doing it.
What’s good bud
Finally back to working and back to making videos
How much do car pullers charge?
Normally $10 a car
@@CarcarrierTv I have 3 year OTR flatbed experience , perfect mvr, trying to get into car hauling does your company hire without car hauling experience?
@redtoprich yes they do as long as where you live that terminal has trainers. A few of them don’t
Heyyy by the way for the best quality of sound get a windscreen for your headset mic coming from a professional sound engineer 😝
I’m saving for the DJI mic they seem to be really good for a wireless mic but they’re not cheap so hopefully I’ll get it in the next month or so
Your trucks don't have PTO?
No our trucks have PTO’s
@@CarcarrierTv Oh ok. Do you not use it because of the noise? Or does it slow you down?
No I use my PTO every time I load or unload that’s the only way I can move my truck and trailer
If the sorentos get put on hold.... my bad lol
How you doing sir .
I’m great and I hope you are as well
How are the hotels they put you in ? Nice, not so nice, or bad
I will say they are mostly pretty good. You have some old ones from time to time but nothing dirty. You get to pick the hotels you wanna stay in as long as they’re in the CLC plan. I think in 3 years I booked a hotel twice got there and then said nvm I’ll look elsewhere
