My lease adventure

So this month I took a loss due to taking a good chunk of change out of the business to pay off a personal debt. With the acceptation of that it was a decent month. Made 2.47 per mile, a new high I think. Had one break down on my trailer. An air bag started leaking but I was able to get it to a shop without a tow. Lost one of the gears in my landing gear this month and found out it can't be fixed because the parts aren't made anymore. That's what I get for having a old trailer. Now I have to replace the entire landing gear set up. Going on vacation next weekend for a week so I will put the trailer in the shop to have a new landing gear, valences, and air bags put in. Estimate was just over $3200. On top of that I will need new tires for the trailer soon. When it rains it pours lol. Next month is probably going to be a negative month again but we will see. Don't worry everyone I have saved up the money to do all this so it will be fine.

 

Sorry I haven't been on for a while it's been really Busy and big things are happening. Will update everyone this weekend

 

Here is an update for everyone. I found out there was nothing wrong with my landing gear so I don't have to replace it. I was looking into having my doors and supports replaced on my trailer which came to $6300. I was scheduling it for December to be done while I was on vacation over Christmas but then something came up. I had a very good month September and it allowed me to make a pretty big move. I am buying Another trailer. It is a 2018 Wilson With sliding winches and all the Bells and whistles I wanted.. I bought it for $52000. I have to sign all the paperwork Monday and they will put new brakes and do an alignment on it before I pick it up. Obviously I'm going to park the trailer I have and and slowly fix the minor things that are wrong with it and decide what I want to do next.I'm not in a hurry to fix this trailer right now. It gives me time to think of what I'm going to do next.. I can either try and get another truck on with the company I'm leased on to and have it pull this trailer or or I can sell it. I definitely have some thinking to do. So that's the big news your boy is getting a new trailer.. Once I get my profit and loss statement from my accountant I will post the numbers for September with an updated year to date. August was a decent month but I had a lot of repairs to my trailer that I had to pay for so my net was only a 100 bucks. I'm pretty glad that I Was able to get this new trailer because my trailer I'm pulling needs tires And is starting to fall apart.

 

Here are septembers numbers. 8082 miles driven so I made 2.91 per mile

 

Expected a loss October due to buying the trailer and some high maintenance costs. Still was a good month I made 2.13 a mile.

 

Here are November numbers
