So You Want To Be An Auto Transporter?
Have an extra truck, car carrier or perhaps a enclosed car trailer laying around? Think you can make some extra money hauling cars with them? Think again. Lots of people think its as easy as just driving the car carriers back and forth. What many drivers don't realize is before doing so you need proper insurance, licenses and operating authority like USDOT # to be a professional and legal auto transporter.
While its a great opportunity to put that car delivery equipment and your truck driving skills to use, get your ducks in a row first and you will save yourself many hassles form the law. The things you should get inline before picking up even one vehicle first are as follows:
1. Required liability and cargo insurance for carriers
2. Apply & approval of DOT number and or bond (if auto transport broker& carrier)
3. Proper equipment
4. A place to find loads like central dispatch for carriers, hauling depot for auto transport brokers.
