Re: What's the going rate on car hauling

Could be true 50 cents per car per mile. that's add's up to 1.50 2.00 a mile fully loaded. I pull a 40' and don't run unless it's 2+ a mile plus fuel...but I come home empty a lot...car lots are everywere so there might be som money in it??

Are you talking about $.50/mile per car? I would think so, my cost of operation (including insurance, financing and all) runs close to $.50 per mile bobtail. At $.50 per car with a 3 car wedge makes $1.50 per mile, a more reasonable rate to the truck.
