  1. I agree, best thing to do is go talk to them and get the packet to start. It tells you everything you need to know including what insurance you need. Copart does pay less than IAA but they also require less insurance. Win some you loose some.
  2. These are our rates for our copart each one is different depending on the location of your local office. They will give you a rate sheet and a map if you go ask them for one.
  3. We subhaul for copart. We have an older truck that has low mileage so I honestly feel a bit insulted by the guy earlier saying everyone that hauls cars for them have basically junk for trucks. It doesn't have to be a $100,000 brand new fancy with all the bells and whistles truck to get you started. Ours is well maintained and very much DOT compliant as are all the rest of the guys we haul with. Your pay is based on zones that go out so many miles from the main location and the pay increases the farther away you go. So you may go 2 miles into one zone and get $75 per car or you may go 25 miles into the same zone and still get $75 per car but it all levels out in the end. Our rates are pretty good and so far we have been successful in getting rate increases readily when fuel prices go up. We won't get rich over it but we make a decent living. It's alot of miles being put on these trucks every day because your running constantly. So yes there are more break downs than usual because of the constant running. It's challenging and a fast learning environment because you pick up every thing you can imagine all in one day. You could pick up 2 that run and drive in one load and the next load they maybe severely damaged and you've gotta get creative and do a salvage hookup because there's no front end left. They do their best to make sure we have a towable and non towable on each run so it's a full run and will also add on a motorcycle so your hauling 3 or set you up with a haul out to deliver to an owner or collision center to up your pay if they've got one. They value their subhaulers because they are their life's blood so they work hard to keep you happy and successful.
