This channel will teach you how to get into the business, how maintain your equipment and how to load your trailer. It will also teach you that driving into DOT scales is not scary as long as you stay within your weight limits and maintain your equipment.
Videos are not scripted they are filmed each time we go out as we never know what will happen while picking up and delivering vehicles, you’ll see the issues we go through as we go through them.

Oh my God the judge asked if he could stop to let the highway patrol on the freeway does he not know how to drive and the rules and regulations of the road when you merge onto a highway you have to yield to highway traffic but u need to match highway speeds so you can merge people are so stupid nowadays
Yes but you can pull more weight on the Ram 5500 you’ll worry less about being overweight on the drive (rear tires). If you go with the F450 make sure you know your limits on your drive (rear tires of truck) and stay within limits.
I am glad you got this resolved, but this should be a lesson - you need a dash cam. In the line of work that you are in, you are literally insane to be driving around without a good quality dash cam.
Hello, getting closer to having the authority of running. I'm kind of scared at how high i can lift the deck up so I can clear little over 6 feet so I can place a pickup truck on the rear. Being this trailer is a 2003 Supposedly what is called a Kaufman Pro Series 5/6 yet the vin tag reads General Trailer any ways before I had it restored the Kaufman logos were visible on the sides. The lower deck has 5'8 of height till you get a car's length to the front then the ceiling goes down to only 5'2 but watching your suggestions only load cars that clear and leave 4" of distance from roof of vehicle. I need to locate a fork lift that can handle the weight of my deck so I can see just exactly how high it will go before the tubes come out. Kaufman told me yet they are not sure being they quit making owner's manuals after a certain time on older models. The furthest I have taken it up is just past the 5th cog where you would stick a pin. But it was at 5'9 and I wiggled the steel bars listening and feeling about where they might be touching in the tube body maybe 7 to 11 inches left. Now being these were not the original hydraulic lifts forks not sure if they went longer than the original being they were bought new from Kaufman. So, I seen in one of your video's that you do not weld things for your trailer I'm not a certified welder, yet I do my own modifications I've been thinking of removing 17' of decking and building an area that is enclosed so I can haul more classic cars. Then take the decking and fill in the middle holes to the end of the trailer so I can also load motorcycles in the enclosed section. Also, what is the closest you have ever come to falling off the upper deck. I thought about something a person could use in such a emergency. If they lost their balance, I bought 8 shower handicap suction cup handles they can mount to the glass or onto the body of the car and are easy to remove.
Hey guys thanx for the videos you guys put out a lot of great info.. i’m looking into getting into the car hauling business in SoCal what things would you guys recommend to do first besides buying a truck and trailer? I do have my CDL.

That conversation in a nutshell shell shows the dangers of being uneducated when it comes to the differences between fascism, socialism, communism and capitalism.
Same thing happened to me a few years ago. Driving home from work around 11pm and entered the FWY, stayed in outside lane, officer coming down onramp to my right decided to speed up infront of me to get into FWY, I let off gas to give room, no cars around. He then changes lanes to middle lane, slows down and gets behind me...pulls me over not even 100 yards from where he entered FWY, says I was going 57 and it was unsafe speed. I said F U just give me the Ticket C U N Court. Dismissed.
Amazing & informative channel. I'm retiring in the next few months & from the Sacramento area as well. I'm only 50 years old and would love to start my own business with my wife in this field. I would be grateful if we can chat. Be safe!
Excellent 👏👏, good job, hacen un gran equipo los dos y trabajan seguros con su equipo, pero lo que llama mi atención es algo que yo también hacía años atrás cuando empecé en este negocio del Car hauler, no es necesario colocar el gancho del strap tan pegado a la goma del auto con que quedé a 90 grados es suficiente(dos pulgadas y hasta más )no pierda tiempo ⏱️ que es dinero y pues tiempo en familia que no recuperamos tampoco. Bendiciones
This is why you should NEVER vote for a conviction on the word of a police officer. Social media has exposed them throughout this country on how corrupt, dishonest and incompetent they are 😢
If a cop tells you to stop recording, he is wrong. It's a constitutional right, and he is a criminal just for asking you to stop. Also, he is guilty and doesn't want evidence collected, so it's also witness intimidation. He is an example of why police are not trusted or respected.
One thing you never do is turn off a camera when you’re interacting with the police officer, never. Doesn’t matter what the hell they say you have every right to keep that recording going.
How about maybe the cop could pay more attention to driving. What a concept that would be. Quit trying to hem up average citizens for the mistakes of cops. The cop even admitted to being distracted.
Sounds like the cop should have gotten a ticket for failure to yield, and distracted driving. But naturally, a cop could never ever admit that they were wrong, they have to re-engineer the world around their own little storyline that makes them out to be the victim.
I always enjoy your videos and your wife has a cute voice. I’ve been in car hauling about three months but I’ve been hauling freight for over 20 some years. I’m able to be home every night and I’m semi retired.
I just retired, I was looking to get into car hauling, I have class A. I just want to do a 3 car set up. What do you recommend on how to start? I live in so cal near the 10,60,215, and 91 pretty active spot I think? Thanks for your help!! John
The speed limit in California when towing is 55mph! The CHP was wrong and owes you a huge apology. I wouldn't hold your breath but I would "out" the dumb SOB.
The woman narrator of this please never speak again EVER you have a very annoying voice , I dont wish to sound degrading or mean but please I beg of you ,,,,, dont ever speak again for any reason.
