    I'm going to a new shop. When you get an estimate, they usually charge 30% more than an estimate when work is actually done.

    Half of these so called “owner operators” have no clue what their operating costs is, forget a break even point, or cost per mile. I update my spreadsheet on a weekly basis, and know my numbers every week, month, and quarter.

    I should just start corporations and run it for a year and then sell it.

    My contacts will follow me to new MC not a problem.

    I’m highly thinking about it.

    35k for set up corp and MC. I’ll guarantee 12 inspections and 12 passes.


    Interesting.
