Thousands of owner-operators around the county make a great living from car hauling, with drivers averaging at over $6,000 per month. With hard work and perseverance, drivers can earn a healthy income and run a successful business.
And in the past few years, more drivers have entered the auto transport industry, eager to start on their new career path. However, with so many new drivers, competition among car hauling companies has risen and made the job harder than ever before.
Auto transport might sound straightforward from an outside perspective, but it can be quite tricky sometimes, particularly for car hauling newcomers. And if you happen to have just started as a car hauler, then you likely have a lot of questions. New haulers often ask: “where can I find car hauling loads?” Today we’ll be answering that question.
Invest in the Right Load Board
So, where can you find car hauling loads? Well, the primary source that haulers use to find loads in recent years has been online load boards. Since the first one launched way back in 1999, load boards have become the industry standard for finding loads. Load boards are the most convenient way to find loads for your car hauling business, however not all load boards are as good as others.
While it’s the longest-standing load board in our industry, Central Dispatch lacks many key features that are found in other load boards. Newer load boards like Super Loadboard feature a more modern design, are far more secure, and have a better rating system.
Additionally, finding car hauling loads on the Super Loadboard is just easier because users can instantly book, request, and bid on loads directly from the app or platform, unlike Central Dispatch which forces users to communicate outside of their load board via a phone or email.
Form Connections
While load boards are undoubtedly the best way to find car hauling loads, over time you should be able to form connections with shippers. The auto transport industry is a bit community and one that car haulers can benefit from by getting direct load offers from shippers they have formed a network with
Alternatively, Super Loadboard offers a feature called “preferred carriers” which allows shippers to mark carriers as “preferred,” enabling them to book loads instantly, and faster than ever before.
Preferred carriers gain a huge advantage over others by gaining priority over other carriers, have the ability to take loads instantly, and aren’t even required to contact the shipper for a no-call, no-contact 24/7 booking. By forming connections with shippers, you can become a preferred carrier and haul cars easier and faster than ever.
