    I plan on getting a 5 car sun country trailer and tractor. I'm in the worst place to haul cars , Florida. I did get some good info from a member about getting loads from the rail yards, and I need to know other than central dispatch are there any other good load boards I could use. I'm just trying to line my ducks in a row so I can start immediately after getting the unit. I want to have a load ready to pick up leaving the dealership with the unit lol. I want to move the sprinter vans, duallys, limos, even those small busses along with cars.

    I don't know if they qualify as "good" because the rates are highly variable depending on where the vehicles are, but Manheim and Adesa both have online presences. Cars Arrive and Ready Auto Transport. If you're picking up in the more obscure regions, they pay ok, anything near a normal freight lane with volume, not so much.

    But they should be part of your arsenal. There's also United Road's board, and I believe Axis has one as well, but I don't use either of those.

    Don't wanna start a new thread and sorry for hijacking, but maybe anybody knows what would be a price for transporting a running car from Seattle, Wa to Detroit, MI? Planning to buy a car there on auction

    Cars posted on central dispatch are running from 700 to 1200 depending on size and exact locations. Safe to say 900 would get your car there.

    I don't run anything down there, I wouldn't have the slightest idea what your best option would be.
