Car hauler outfit that will lease on O/O new to auto haul ?

Are there car hauler companies that will lease on Owner Operators without auto haul experience? I am interested in changing from Flatbed to Auto hauling. I have load plenty of military vehicles as well as machinery, vehicles, etc... on Stepdeck and Flatbed.

I have haul cars on a wedge trailer and 1 ton pickup but not on a stinger or double deck trailer. 14 years CDL with no tickets or accidents.

 

I used to have my DOT# and mostly did flatbeds and tried briefly hauling cars with a 3 car wedge trailer and a 1 ton truck. That did not work out because 3 cars is limited. I hate sleeping in a pickup truck. I have moved from east coast back to California so flatbed work in west coast sucks. I even tried container work in CA and that did not work out. I am pulling flatbed now and not generating enough income. Car hauling should be better money. I know that each car from west to eastcoast gets around $900 to $1400. With a 8 car trailer, that should generate $7000 to $8000 one way. Running hard, I should be able to do 1.5 to 2 full loops from west to east and back per month.

As for backing a car up to second level, I have no issues with heights and backing. I did well backing up on a 53" wedge trailer. I have been tarping 8' tarps on flatbeds for over a decade in all conditions so height and climbing is no issues.

Bottom line, I know there is more money in auto hauling than flatbed if I get my own Authority. I do not want to run under my Authority because the overhead cost are too high. This is why I rather lease to a carrier.

 

I found a small outfit that will lease on car hauler with limited experience with auto hauling. I plan to lease purchase a 2010 Cottrell 5309 9 car trailer. Any thoughts on this trailer ?

I know that it is heavy and harder to deal with multiple stops. I plan to do long haul as in 2000+ mile trips so I dont mind taking time to shift load.
