Drive-Away

Thanks for the input, everyone. To clarify matters a little, I have called several of the driveaway companies, including Bennett. None other than Horizon Transport is using drivers from Nevada currently.

I would be a 1099 contractor. My tow car would be my fully paid for 2005 Honda Civic from which I can get almost 40 MPG on the highway driving conservatively.

I only need to net about $2,000 per month doing this or anything else. Driveaway is something that I think I'd really like to do, if I can earn that kind of money without having to work truck driver hours.

Given these parameters, can you guys offer any more input or suggestions?

I use to drive for Quality and I think that its a GREAT company but I spent a lot of money getting to the next location to pick up the next vehicle. If you had a tow car with good fuel mileage I know for a fact that it will be highly profitable..

If you are towing trailers on the ground it is hard to make a buck. Your mileage pay is only loaded miles and there is no back haul. But if you want to invest in a medium duty truck with A flatbed you can tow one with as much as 2 on the bed. You would also have a sleeper. And might even be able to get backhauls. Otherwise it is a waste of time. Wal Mart greeters make more $$.
