    I'm looking at getting into car hauling with 9 car setup. What insurance coverage are brokers typically wanting on central dispatch? I was thinking 1 million liablity, 250k cargo, but wondered if the cargo might need to be higher? Appreciate any insight

    Anyone have any recommendations on insurance companies? My current provider is Progressive and apparently the max cargo insurance they will provide is 250k

    I was looking at the load boards, looks like it'd be a nightmare to get everything going the same direction but could be wrong. I think might be better with a 3 car setup if you don't have a connection in industry, but would rather stick to flatbed than do that. I only was looking at superdispatch load board though central dispatch may be different

    Its complicated to organize all those stops and it has to be under 14ft tall so a lot of challenges,new truck and trailer is about 400k for 9car,jenzig youtube channel says he makes 4k+ weekly(1099) with weekends off as a company driver for brothers transport,thats pretty good money
