Insurance is definitely high. Mine was $300 a month based on $60k with Gallagher. I pay way less than that now.
I could save quite a bit on plates carat in Oklahoma you only pay for the states you ran in the year before when you renew but you're still registered to run in so 48 and Canada. My tag was $1650 the first year and $1300 to renew cause I don't run all 48. Then I have to do my own IFTA which takes a whopping 10 minutes if I have all the info. I do run LS base plate currently and I haven't switched because I've never asked Landstar if I can get a quarterly report from my elogs showing the miles I ran in each state. If I can get that then I'll end up with my own base plate at some point.
Just throwing this out there for reference.

We put a new 2023 Cascadia into service 2 weeks ago. Looking up the price of the truck (well-equipped double-bunk condo), and it was under $162,500 with TriPac APU and DD15/DT12 combo. That's up from the previous model year by only 3%.
Granted, this is fleet pricing with along-established dealer relationship, but not $40k worth of difference...Geekonthestreet Thanks this. -

from my research sfi leases these trucks but you can only sign on with there approved carriers, meaning you can't run the truck under your own authority. But for someone in the op position waiting to test out the owner op its probably a fair way to go. But I would probably get an older truck and pay less for it rates for dry even refer our pretty ####ty right now
