gdude in Victorville, California said: I have a guy that is ready to sell me his 3/4 car hauler and his 2001 dodge 3500 for 17.000. All the equipment is in very good shape. i had a guy tell me on line that the brokers are not paying as well as they were a couple of years ago. Can any one tell me if this is true? Or is it still a business that will pay you well if you work hard at it? I am under the gun to make the deal before someone else buys it. Like a couple before someone makes the buy. Please comment ASAP! Thank You i am an auto broker owner. go to www.centraldispatch.com and as a member you can call on tons of cars available for pick up and pick up as much as you want. you can stay as busy as you like. |

buying a pick up Is a bad idea if u do the math on the payment And fuel and tolls your gonna be in a world of hurt. If you break down do you have the money to get things fixed o. The road? I just had to pay over 500 dollars for a break down on the road the cost only 92 dollars back at home ur gonna be working to run the truck and not have any extra cash. Central dispatch doesn't care about you they just want their money every month. Example two cars paying 275 each that's 550 dollars to go 1000 miles and spend 600 bucks in fuel or more 95 dollars in tolls . The cars o. The return barley was 200 a car. Profiit was like 950 - 695 = 255 divide that by the 4 days of travel. You made 64 dollars a day. Central brokers are getting three time more money then what they are paying you to sit on the phone. So go buy that truck your gonna lose out the rate are still dropping. |

grimrepo in Canton, Georgia said: $275 for a car going 1000 miles is 27.5 cent a mile! that car can sit for that price. cars on central pay from 20 to 70 cents per mile, like i said if they are not paying a minimum of 40 cents a mile they can sit right where they are at! i am a dispatcher and all the good paying cars on central pop up, but they dont last! that is the benefit of having a dispatcher that knows what they are doing! i have called on a car that was on central for 1 minute and it was already gone, because it payed well! now you need someone sitting on central all day long to get anything that pays well! yes there are cars on central that pay well! no one should ever haul a car that pays less than 40 cents a mile! if no one would haul those cheap cars the brokers wouldnt even place them on central because they would know it was a waste of time! i am dispatcher with 10 years experience! Hi,i looking for work i have MC# Ins. im runing OR,WA,CA if you have good paying load please contact me new i have Dodge 2006 and 2010 take 3 trailers(2 cars trailer) |

In California if you have a bed on your truck you do NOT have to stop at the scales. |

A great alternative to central is CarHaulerDispatch www.carhaulerdispatch.com They are a new site but they seem to be doing things right for a new auto transport load board. |
