So you want to "own " your own company

Yep...

New truck...$60,000 - $120,000 depending on what you want
Trailer...just a guess around $12,000 for a good used one.
Then there is insurance, plates, back up funds for breakdowns, etc....


A lot...

 

Cute, you live on Epsilon Eridani? I've got a friend that lives in Eridanus as well.
Her internet sucks though.... you must have a good provider

Sure your ready to go O/O? If so, have fun and good luck. Just remember, it's a business.

 

dont forget about 3 months operating and living costs

 

Yeah, I forgot those in the midst of all the other money yer gonna need. Plus finding the freight that's gonna feed the truck, and hopefully you and your family.

 

I have mid 6 figures from an inheritance. so if spend under 250,000 it looks like that will be enough.

 

Take the money and run. the only way to make a small pile of cash in trucking is to start out with a big one

 

unbelieveable
