Question What size truck would I need to haul cars, also what steps do i need to take get my authority. What website cold i go on to check out different things on this endeavor. Thanks
Answer Hi Viola,
It depends on how many cars you want to haul. If you want to haul 3 or 4 cars, get a dually, diesel 3500 truck. As far as getting your authority, go to www.dotauthority.com for everything you need. Don't forget to get cargo and liability insurance!
