Thinking of a career change, seriously
Life just ain't as peachy as I expected in this engineering field. I make a decent living but I don't loved it anymore. I take unwarranted ***** from angry clients and contractors all day long. I'm just starting not to feel it. For awhile being a big shot professional got my rocks off, not anymore.
I have the same passion all of you do cars. My dream job would be working around cars and cars people all day long. Of course I don't want to work in or even own a shop. But I have been harping on a idea for years now. Its been brought up here a few times. Starting a car hauling service.
Growing up we had a family friend that made millions (no exaggeration) transporting cars here in FL. Of course he was transporting for cheap, large quantities, mostly for auctions, dealers, etc. Not what I'm looking for but maybe thats why it always stuck with me. The 1st millionaire I ever met. And that was in the early 80's.
Start out with a Freightliner FL70 and a enclosed 2-3 car trailer. Give personal service and attention. Only cater to the high end user. Drive myself for the 1st year then hirer on drivers. Expanded the fleet, then move into semi's with 5-10 car capability, enclosed of course.
2000 miles a month turns a decent profit for a fledgling company.
My question is, if you bought a $80k car on ebay would you use a service like this or would you hire DAS w/ an open trailer?
Or was that 3rd Corona tonight a bad idea?
