Paying $80,000-90,000 for a 2016 semi truck with 800,000 miles?

My driver wages and net business profit (after the driver is paid) are the in the same stew. I am the driver that would not quit after the boss *also myself* says to him that I need to cut my salary or vice versa.
By collecting both the driver wages and business profits, this much more leverage I have. I always argue that a solo owner operator with own authority, in practice, does not see his own drivers pay as a cost. Yes, in order to pay less taxes, he does but still all the money goes to him.
That's something that perhaps is in disagreement with the "run as a business" paradigm but how does it matter if I can strive through lean times with merely a Swift driver salary and $0.00 business profit, while someone else with multiple trucks and hired drivers can't?

 

Crazy prices for way overpriced equipment, ufb

 

Auction prices way up ,50k for a 20k truck

 

700k is not slightly used , but over priced , I remember when u could buy a 450k mile truck for 34k

 

U never will re coup the money spent and ure cost per mile will be too much and u will go belly up

 

Right now 65k

 

Ain't seen one of those in long time but if it can move down interstate then worth big bucks

 

That's total bs

 

U need at least 2.50 a mile to run and need to have some sort of discount fuel program or u will be out of business soon
