Everyone needs to drop Copart. Can't believe people are actually towing for $35 a car... kills the industry

I agree. I did work for Copart only one day. They wouldn’t move on the price for me, I was done with them. I know other towing companies who they offered $65 a car and told Copart no. This was ten years ago.

The problem is the way people want to run their business model, You should have tiers, and not fully depend on copart to make your business successful, if anything they should just be there whenever you need fill work when your main accounts and contracts aren’t keeping your trucks busy, then copart takes over as extra money I see way to many folks try to make a living off of motor clubs or Copart and run their truck to the ground and it doesn’t work ! Their pay isn’t the greatest, it should just be full works to have your back on a rainy day !

I work in Minnesota, and Copart has asked us to run trucks for them occasionally, but we do not do it at the prices they are asking we tell them what we will charge and they will make a decision on whether they have us do it or another company.

@@edwinperez7151 It's not fill work, it only comes even close to being profitable when loaded double, and if you are loaded double that's not fill in work that's a fully occupied truck, If you rely on copart or IAA with their shit rates your business will either never take off, or will fail rather quickly... Maybe as one guy with one truck you can barely break even on it but anything past that you will not get anywhere.

My company sub hauls for CoPart. We have no complaints because we know how to make it work for us. We use CoPart to keep the wheels spinning to generate a consistent cash flow instead of just waiting for potential roadside service calls. I appreciate you for sharing your input because a lot of guys spread a lot of misinformation in regards of sub hauling for CoPart.

Copart is like 50 a car for us, Not a chance that would be worth running even just as fill-in work. Not to mention the only time it might ever be close to making money is if you are loaded double with a rollback in which case it's not fill-in work because it keeps your truck occupied. We are at like 125 an hour minimum copart and IAA come nowhere near.

@@towtruckaj You definitely need a car carrier with a wheel lift to maximize your earning potential when hauling for Copart. In addition, I wouldn’t suggest keeping your only truck occupied with hauling just for Copart. I’ve tried that in my past and quickly learned that I needed a backup truck and possibly a driver on call. The industry is extremely competitive in my area so the average tow ranges from 60-70 depending upon the pickup and drop off locations. However, there are times when those out of network calls come in averaging 120-200 plus a tow.

@@cngtowing0519 Well the reality is if it's bad business for one truck only, its bad business regardless of the number of trucks you have, Unless having more trucks gives you the ability to negotiate a real-world rate it's simply not worth it. Copart is effectively just running a truck to make you feel better about it not sitting, because every dollar you earn is dished right back out in the form of driver pay, fuel, maintenance, insurance, etc. Copart is not profitable and if it is it's barely so, I'd rather have my truck sit and do nothing than do coparts dirty work for pennies, the only thing you do is a dis service to yourself by letting them get away with it.

I’ve been hauling copart since November 2021,it started out great. But it falls apart real quick. In the beginning was real busy,pay is not the best per car but I was hauling 4 a day from zones 12 to 20. But the longer I’m there I’m seeing a lot favoritism.they promised fuel raises 2 months ago,I have yet to see it.it’s ok for extra income,but don’t plan on living off of it!
