Wasnt sure what to pay myself, figured I would shoot low and let the business account build, at least for a while..not compulsive on keeping truck clean on the outside, once every month or 3, truck and trailer..so maybe $300-350.. I wasn't sure how much to guesstimate for taxes..I'm figuring I should be able to get insurance cheaper but I have heard people saying from 6-12k..I will definetly elect for higher deductible..yep forgot cpa/bookkeeping..will probablly pay cash for truck/trailer..thanks for the reply..and you think the other numbers were pretty close?

 

okay hopefully I am over estimating insurance..I only have 3 years driving experience, all as a company driver. Will knock down my scales and up my tolls in my figures. Will figure almost double for irp..and definetly will keep up on maint..I appreciate the reply.

 

How many loadboards do you use? Do you have additional services with them? Has it been worth spending that much?

 

I am currently a company driver and am doing some final research before making the switch to owner operator with my own authority. I will probably buy my truck/trailer outright but could lease..i will be getting a dry van to start. I will be driving and paying myself..80k for fuel I figured like this..10,500 miles/mo x 12 = 126,000 miles ÷ 6 mpg x $3.8/gal...and 1500 for scales I figured 2-3 scales/week..just rough estimates.
