Sorry if I asked before. I'm thinking of starting a part-time shipping company. First, what level of interest would members have, especially if i offered a significant discount.  Second,  how would I set it up on the site? This would cover the 48 CONUS.

TIA

I  would love to have a shipper that is set up to move non-running project cars  , 

also maybe a motor etc on a pallet 

And having a GSM  person involved  helps find the shippers that can do this without all the BS.

I'll have to ask him but I know a guy that does logistics for this type of operation.

May have to remind me via DM.

In reply to Docwemple :

Are you versed in DOT/CDL?

This can be a big hurdle making it hard to do it part time.   Legally stay under DOT requirements for far less headache.  

 

For myself, in a similar situation, business got eroded away by new entrants willing to do the work at third world wages. 

You'll need to log in to post.
