If you are looking to work for someone else all you will need is a valid CDL, and whatever the employer requests. IF you are interested in starting out on your own then you'll need your equipment and your authority/insurance. Visit the FMCSA website for info on your authority.

Been a car hauler and all I have to say is go to Cassens Transport and get what you need learned, then get out and go o/o after saving up enough money after a few years. You'll start not making a lot but once you learn the trade in 6 months or so, you'll be making enough to be happy about. The sad thing about this is that it could-be good job but they're Teamsters which only spells trouble since they don't want you to get your five years vested so they have to keep you. Maybe if you kiss the right a$$, turn into a company snitch/henchman, or suck a d!ck you might have a chance at a lifelong career with them. You waste so much time sitting and waiting, being jerked around, having the bottom of the board unsafe trucks constantly fixed, being given runs that are saved just for you because no one wants them (you will see the same loads for years unless you're treated special), given a hard time even though you are doing a better job than people above and below you, threatened to lose your job if you don't break d.o.t. regulations, left in states w/o a truck if you get sick or hurt away from your terminal (they'll come and pick it up and leave you), have your car broken into and robbed at the terminals by the very same people you work with, have your personal life messed with if possible (they will, trust me), have fellow workers lock doors on your cars, have fellow workers lie to management about you, have no backing by the stewards (they'll say it happens to everybody - bull$h!t), and when you try to get out and get another job, they'll block it so you can't by lying to prospective employers. They break contracts rules on a daily basis but throw them in your face to get their way. Get the knowledge, work non-stop, save all your money, and keep to yourself. I wouldn't trust one single guy I use to work with, or for, with a penny of mine. They're all back stabbing, limp d!cked, jealous little $h!ts without any morals. GREED IS THE NUMBER ONE DOWNFALL OF THIS COMPANY.
