Overall with equipment purchases and sale did you break even?

Too bad mine didn't burn down would've been nice to get the insurance payout!

 

I sure hope you got pictures of that, both the load and the delivery.

I'm glad you had a good run, and I hope your future endeavors will be enjoyable and prosperous.

 

Why would anyone stop if a car hits your icc bar? That's not a you problem, that's a them problem.

 

I spent $130k on truck, trailer and equipment and sold it for all for $80k.
After all expenses I had $65k left if the checking account so over all I came out $15k ahead.
I operated in the black averaging $13k pretax profit per month.
I put 57,000 miles on the truck in 5 months so about $1.15 net profit per mile.

 

Seems like a ton of hassle and expense you went to just to throw it all away a year later, but if you prefer flying airplanes and can make a living doing that, fine. Do what blows your hair back and gets you revved up in the morning.
