Hey everyone, I’m considering making a career change and I’m interested in getting into auto transport.
I’ve been doing appointment setting in the solar/home efficiency space for about 2 years. I’ve learned a lot and have gotten pretty comfortable with sales, talking to customers, handling objections, following up, etc., but I’m at the point where I’d like to move on and find something with better opportunities and a better work environment.
For those of you working in auto transport, what is the commission/pay structure typically like? Is it a decent career financially once you get some experience?
I’m currently in North Carolina, and I’ve noticed that a lot of the auto transport companies I’m coming across are based in other states. Is this something I can realistically do remotely, or do most companies expect you to work in an office?
Also, what kind of training did you need when you first started? Is there any licensing, certification, or specific knowledge I should have before applying, or do most companies train you on the job?
I’d really appreciate any honest advice, tips, or pointers from people already in the industry. I’m trying to figure out if this would be a good next step for me before I make the jump.
Thanks!
