    You can always look for a job that would train you and specialize in car hauling. You would go out with a trainer learn in real life situations, not in school.

    Once you learn 9/10 car, 7 car is easy. Why pay for school/training when you can get paid to learn how to load from a company.

    They will teach you basics. All you need to know you will learn when you have to load and unload cars on the daily basis. I can't imagine paying $5K to learn how to drive a truck and load/secure cars. It's not rocket science, watch more youttube, get a car hauling job with a trainer and you can put these $5k as a down payment for your first truck.

    Why are you wanting to be independent? And why do you need to learn enclosed and 7 car? If you learn 10 car you can jump right into a 7 car and it will be a breeze

    I'm not sure why you would want to pay $5000 to learn how to haul cars when these companies will pay you $1500 a week to to do the same thing. This is just my opinion, but I think I would hire on with a good company that trains and give them a year. Learn the ins and outs, make some money, and if at any time in that year you decide carhauling is not for you, all you have to do is quite and move on. Then your not left with a truck sitting in the yard and a big payment book.
