When I read the initial post I got the impression that Todd was looking for a smaller and more personal type business model. If so, my advice would be to get a 1-ton dually pickup with a 5th wheel hitch, and get a good 30' enclosed car trailer.

That 30' trailer should give you plenty of room to load a car and load any spares that I see these cars frequently come with (such as 4 extra sets of wheels and tires, or extra fenders, or whatever). You can put a small DC wench in the floor to bring aboard those rollers and projects you mentioned.

The advantages of going this route are lower lower startup costs, lower insurance rates, and fewer operating restrictions (as compared to a big-rig). Also, you have the advantage of using the truck for other things, or using the combo to take your car to DE events.

Another thing you need to calculate into your costs is dead-head mileage. It's often difficult to line up a revenue run for the return leg of the trip when operating this size combo - unless you can get hooked up with a hot-shot outfit that can get you emergency and/or expedite loads.
