    We run a mega cab Dodge dually with a 3 car wedge hauling show trucks, No CDL No DOT card. Never had anything said to us. Once had a DOT cop ask us about the show trucks at a gas station while he was on duty haha never ask for CDL or weights of anything. Ur the man Dave

    Dave is absolutely right 110%
    I ended up going with a TP ez 4 because of its versatility, i can haul 4 cars or haul 3 big cars, bigger cars often pay premium, and nit have to worry about heights and deal with that hassle

    I started with a wedge trailer and they definitely do have a few advantages. I just got tired of the limitation on income for the same number of hours worked in a day so I went up to a seven car and have never regretted it.

    A lot of good info. I can put 78 inches in the belly of my trailer which is most any full-size truck and a lot of vans. And that’s if I don’t air the tires down. I can also put two sprinter vans on my top deck.

    With your experience. I just started my business, and own a 2022 Ram 3500 cummins h/o Dually. I have the work lined up with moving cars for auction houses daily. I have my CDL A
    What would you recommend as far as trailer goes and not having issues with DOT? Could I get a 5 car trailer and be okay with weight restrictions? Would you stick with a 3 car?
    I plan on purchasing a used trailer this week to keep costs down and would appreciate any feedback

  • @jordano69
    @jordano69 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    IMO it depends what kind of work your doing and where. I live in southern California and there's no way I'd use anything less than a 9 car hauler. You're just cuttin yourself short on money. But, 95% of my work is local. I pick up all my cars in 1 spot, literally takes me 45 minutes to an hour to write up all the cars AND load them. It takes me 30 minutes on average to unload all the cars. The furthest I usually go is 2-3 hours away. I charge between 50-150$ a car. Depending on how far I go. The only upside I see to having a smaller setup is less maintenance and cheaper to get started. There's way less that can go wrong compared to a bigger trailer. Which I've had my fair share of repairs. But to each their own. Whatever fits your lifestyle best.

    I love your thought process on way the three car hauler is a great Business model. I am learning tons of inside information, so I can make some really good decisions based on the vast knowledge and experience you have. It is super greatly appreciated thank you so much. Looking forward to learning more. Question mark what would be the best truck set up for a three car hauler? What type of gearing should the truck have? It makes so much sense because you are not limited ,to car or truck size to put on a three car hauler . Their is so many ways a person can go with different combinations of different types and sizes of vehicles.
    I do have my CDL with Hazmat endorsement and my TWIC card to get into ports.
    I’m considering on buying a single axle sleeper to haul a five or bigger car hauler. My question to you is ,can I make a little more money doing it that way as opposed to doing it with a pick up truck and a three car hauler.? I really do like the three car hauler idea as for all the options that I can work from.
    What are your thoughts on my ideas? Thanks again for the insight.

    Hi David. Nice video. Question. I’m getting back into the business again I have a CDL and I use to be a convoy combat trainer for the Military. Before my accident I ran a dodge 3500 and . I had the take 3 triple axle 3 car wedge trailer. But I had to get rid of it due to an industrial accident. I’m thinking of getting back into the saddle.I was thinking of getting the Sun country 4 car hauler and a Dodge 5500 but an older one with the Isean automatic transmission. What do you think about the Sun country 4 car hauler wedge trailer Metro 40 foot model.with dually two axle Would you take that over the 53 foot unit that has the 3 axle. I’m just thinking of meanuverability and efficient operation . Thank you brother

      Look at your class rating on your drivers license and the weight you can haul. It all depends on what state you live in. Class c, class b, class a. I think in class b you will be alright to answer your question.
