Earn money driving: CDL not needed
Last week I flew from Colorado Springs to Phoenix. Next to me was a fellow who earns extra money by driving for auto dealers in the Santa Rosa, CA area. Larry might go pick up a car at another dealer's place, take one from his employer to another's or pick up cars bought at auction. Once he had to bring back a car from Denver, but most are one- to two-hour trips. He has a regular job and does this when he can, so it is not a full-time job for him.
Most of the time at least two cars are involved since another driver and vehicle is needed to either take the driver to the pickup point or bring him/her back from a delivery. Larry prefers driving the chase car (the one delivering the drivers). The drivers are supposed to caravan but often the full-time drivers want to hurry back so they can get on the list to get another assignment, while Larry sticks to the speed limit.
Larry explained that you can work for one or more dealers as an independent contractor. Or, in cities, there may be a driving service that provides drivers. In any case, drivers get paid by the job, not by the miles they drive. Larry advised that if you are looking for this type of work, go to a car dealer and ask if they need drivers or if they use a service.
If you want to hang around a city for a season, you might be able to pick up some extra money this way. Jaimie
