Expand Your Business

Lots of car hauling work is available, provided you know where to look. You’ll most of it is on load boards, which are online portals dedicated to helping match drivers with customers. The objective of most businesses who haul cars is to match with people on load boards to gain repeat customers as well as good word of mouth about their professionalism. It’s essential to provide a great experience, so your customers keep coming back to you.

Finalize the Rate

After you find suitable car hauling tasks, you'll need to figure out how much to charge your customers. Don’t forget to factor in fees for insurance, gas, food, and lodging when charging a flat rate for transporting a vehicle with your auto trailer. If you have to get additional insurance for the vehicles you’re hauling, you may want to charge more. Once you take into account all your costs, it’s time to fix a standard hauling rate based on miles traveled. Of course, the rates will vary depending on other factors, but you should earn a good profit with your car hauler for each transportation job.
