Even with all that weight, Shinn reports that 70 mph down the freeway is no problem.

* When you're starting, make sure there is plenty of room between the cars. Many trailers will fit 3-4 vehicles, but only put three on to start until you get used to how much they will move around.

* While they do make two-car trailers, you'll need one that can haul three or more to make good money; a heavy-duty flatbed used to haul industrial equipment is another option.

* Buy the best hitch you can! Hitches rated at 24,000 pounds can sometimes crack if you're hauling four cars, so use a 30,000-pound capacity hitch if at all possible.

* Buy the newest, lowest-mileage vehicle you can afford. The last thing you want is to spend your money replacing parts on your truck. Remember, if you have down time, that means you're not making money.

* Shop around for insurance before you start. Also, remember that since your truck and trailer will be overlength, you'll need a Class "A" license in most states.

* Try to get as many steady clients as possible. If you are in a bind and need money, uship.com can be a good place to find business.

* Last but not least, SAFTEY FIRST! The last thing you want to do with your new profession is to get into an accident. Remember that stopping distances will be longer, acceleration slower, and turning much more difficult.
