Interesting video. I drive what we call a car transporter in the UK. It's interesting seeing the differences between the vehicles in America and the UK. We run at 61 foot long empty (plus overhang) and 16 foot high, which allows us to carry up to 12 cars (for example Minis). One of the most striking differences (apart from the sheer size of the cabs in relation to the shoe boxes we have!) is the complete lack of fall protection on the upper decks. Is that not a requirement in the States?
hey guy's. I drive a car carrier but also in Germany. Now I wanted to ask you how long are your trucks. and most importantly how much are you in bridging the matrimonial? we get up to 23 meters and our bridges are in the average meter 4th
@LesRoutiers86 Most car haulers capable of hauling 10 cars(some can do 11) are around 75 feet in length around 13 feet in height-most bridges are 13 feet 6 inches-14 feet for maximum height
more so than wind resistance he was probably saving a couple hundred pounds from the drivers depending on what kind of load he was putting together there. that little car drove into position one is not going to affect the steering any more than a mini van backed on. YOU STUPID IDIOTS AND YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE BACKED ON COMMENTS, i'm kidding, lets all marry eachother and produce retarded children together
@nutcupster13 you back biggier cars on rack 1 to change weight around, if it was small cars you can drive all of them on. And My 2007 Peterbilt is around 82ft long when i'm loaded. Weight does not effect my steering i can put 14,000 pounds on the steer.An height i haul in USA alot of east coast height is 13'6 get out to the midwest u can run 14ft
@texomaCarter I also drove an 07 pete with high rail all over the lower 48. Some heavier "small" car loads might all have to be driven on anyway, or you might end up heavy on your drivers. Yeah 14ft is easy in a lot of places, even some places in the east. But ofcourse there are also plenty of places that will convertible'ize even a 13'6 load if you're not paying attention or know where you're going. I once got an over length ticket in Iowa for being stretched out while empty.
@texomaCarter Also, if i didn't have to worry, I'd back cars in number 1 position because less weight on your steers isn't a bad thing even if you do have the 14k front end (i did too, you never load it that heavy anyway). The reasons to drive it on are either because it really is a small ass car and it doesn't matter, or you might need a few hundred pounds off your drivers. The cars front ends bounce a little more when driven on 1 position as well in some cases.
Thank you. As far as inches between the cars during shipping, they need to in most cases be as close as you can get without touching. I like to have about 1 to 2 inches between. As long as there properly chained down, they wont touch.
@turbotoyzz Not Neccesarilly. Still under 13'6", and much less wind ressistance with the nose of that car forward versus the flat rear. Maybe save $100. in diesel fuel on a 700 mile trip.

you should have reversed the first car up, there would be less weight affecting the steering
