    So any money you make over cost goes in your personal pocket that doesn’t make very good Business sense to me or maybe you missed the part about paying over 90k in three years

    Any money you spend on extra maintenance is lost revenue that would otherwise have gone in your pocket . It’s just lost. I’m just factoring the cost , I’m not saying you can’t recover it through extra work

    To be honest I am not one who needs to bring home 60k Gross revenue but when I left Melton I was only averaging 42k to 52k a year

    Why do you keep so much cash in a company account, I'm assuming you are talking about a Mercer type maintenance fund?

    No I don’t have money automatically deposited in Mercer escrow account I have a private company checking & savings account when I need to get tires or equipment from the company store I build up money on my fuel card account and have them transfer the money from that

    Add on as for why I keep so much money on hand it’s my rainy day cash if I have my engine rebuilt I have most of the cash on hand and if it goes Beyond that I have a credit card account with a 24k limit that sends checks every month to transfer balances in @ 0% interest from 6 to a year for the rest
