I think this is a wonderfully informative thread, but I think it also seems to serve as a lesson.
As a LO, you're competing with a massive industry that sets rates of pay and profitability on moving a load as quickly and as often as possible. Taking a lot of time off is not profitable.
There are no shortcuts on maintainence. The profit plan must include downtime for maintainence (planned, and unplanned) as well as accidents.
Never short yourself. Have a plan to get out if it goes bad, and have a substantial cushion. With deference to the LO in this thread, it doesn't seem possible to run a truck with zero working capital and go into debt.
I am curious to see if there are successful profithe plans when leasing on Prime. What assumptions do you use?darthanubis and DocMarten Thank this.
