I have been wanting to do this for a while now just something on the side since I have alot of time off, I work 6 months out of the year. I have the truck just need a trailer looking for one that can handle up to 3 cars. Anyways does anyone know anybody that does this for a living and knows how to get into this ?

Good luck.

Kaufman makes a good 2 & 3 car hauler.

As far as contacts & business ....... get on EVERY car/truck related forum & advertise. The internet is the key for making some $$.

I too have looked into this heavily & was hoping after this year I'd be adle to get in. Lots of cars moving up & down the roads these days.

Keep us posted on your progress.

I looked into buying a triple axle trailer a while back, even used ones are expensive. I found a nice used one I liked on Craig's list last summer, they were asking $10,000. I would of thought with the economy being crappy the price on them would of came down, but there staying right up there were they always have been. If your gonna use it to make money, and can get enough jobs out of it it might be worth while. Just remember that insurance & all the other fees that go along with it will also add up.
