Whoa !the new guy launching a missle across the bow
Good for you driver,i see where you are coming from. This country was founded on men and women taking a chance rolling the dice and taking a risk! Like they say NO GUTS NO GLORY!
Hell I MUST ADMITI did the same thing.
Ifyou dont take a chance, you'll be sittin on your duff saying "what if" or "remember when"
good luck to you driver,

according to my math
you need to bring in about 14K per month GROSS to start making any money thats about 168,000 per year
B&T Rogers Thanks this. -
so we have 168,000 per year divide that in 2(conservitively) for taxes tires fuel road taxes permits insurance food rent electricity water clothing shoes work boots car insurnace mortgage payment and any other payment i forget at the moment thats 64,000- 84,000 take home. But I could be wrong

We would be more than happy with $168,000 .... They way we have our numbers right now at the low end $125,000 , High end $175,000 so anywhere in the middle of that is fine with me . I was reading your post , when you were first looking at your pete a while back . You did good , even if you have to fix a few small things on it. That's one sharp truck you have there. Glad to see you got it.
On the other hand it seems to me some people cant separate business expense from personal expense. The company will get paid first guys, there wont be any $1,200 figured in my bottom line for computer services LOL. Or cell phone service LOL Part of your cell bill sure, but not all of it. That's a personal expense not a business expense. You don't pay your car payment or house payment out of the business account ,LOL . This will be a stand alone company that pays for itself first , then pays the driver "Me" . The mortgage will be paid the same way it is now. Car payment , come on... WTH are you thinking .. I drive a 1986 Jeep Comanchee pickup No way will I ever count on the company to pay a car loan LOL to funny . Auto Insurance again , not a company expense ... Just goes to show why some people cant make it trying to live high in the hog pen. That cell phone crap is way high More like $800 a year.. There are plenty of things that can be done without .... Use a Map...Oh maybe that's just old school . Well then use your cell phone GPS and a map . Still only $60/$75 max a month for national plan. Maybe i am just to #### cheap??? We are not looking to make millions or have high expectations . Logical B/P's will work not these far fetched I want all of my bills paid out of the business account crap. Thanks for all the info , the good stuff and the regular I'm a trucker and I talk and tell stories like one too stuff . It makes for good reading and is very comical at most. -
