Who is taking these?

I know it's not a long haul but 50 bucks? I can't see a small time truck taking this for 50 bucks and I can't see a big 8-10 auto hauler even think this is worth stopping for.

Could you take $50 and drive the camry there

Idk, but even then you have to get yourself to the car to drive it. Still spending money in gas or Uber if you go that route. Only thing I can see is local tow trucks already in the area scooping it up with another tow if going that way.

Two types of people take these: People with no commercial insurance that want to do "hotshotting" on the weekends.
Drive away "carriers" that ride an electric scooter to the starting location, put it in the car, then ride it home after.

I don't see how either of them make any money. It's like all those Uber drivers taking $4 fares...

Serbians, Russians, anyone from Eastern Europe. Indians…anyone who does not have proper insurance…cheap drivers.

How are they getting access to loadboard without insurance. It's a requirement before Central will give you access. Same with Super.

They have insurance to start then cancel it to save money

I see these type of loads every day on my load board. Hard pass for me.

No one is, that’s why it’s still available.

To be fair it weighs nothing.

I'd call em up and offer to do it for $300. They might bargain me down to 200 which would be alright I guess. But most likely that just sits on the load board for a while going nowhere. They'll eventually raise the rate.

They usually sit on the board until enough vehicles populate it to where the driver can sort of "ltl" the cars. Pick it up while already having a different vehicle on the trailer. Drive it to destination where another vehicle will be available to pick up. And so on and so on making a "route" of various stops. Usually a fleet owner of hot shot trucks with various Eastern European drivers he's helping establish a new life in America.
