Request Assistance with monthly and annual cost

You may also have to file mileage reports in Oregon, New Mexico, Kentucky and New York. You may have to register with New Jersey, not sure because I don't run in New Jersey. It's a business license or a business tax.
You may want a $1 million umbrella liability policy in addition to your main truck insurance.

 

Don't forget repairs and downtime cost, which is an abstract number unless you know how to do wrenching yourself

 

Parking and Tolls,unless your tolls are with your eld package.
I rented a spot in Houston for $200 a month,your parking situation might be different though.

 

Trucking office does TMS/keeps up with your paperwork you input/billing/mileage and has an ELD that will be free with your TMS subscription

OOIDA if your a member has BOC agents for all states no extra.
Plus ooida has a tire gold program for Bridgestone/Michelin account and do CMCI which is for drug testing consortium

 

What part of the country do you plan to do most of your operating? If the Northeast say Richmond north to Boston including PA & Upstate NY, give yourself $2-3,000/month in tolls. A lot of them can be avoided, if you have the time to go around.

as was already stated, you’re missing state specific fuel/hwy taxes.

 

Sounds like another human working on an AI project to make more humans irrelevant.

Best of luck.

 

You know what? Nah. Worst of luck to the AI people. An industry of integrated AI boards and stuff for loads would look like infinite, even worse Amazon Relay. I refuse to even consider pulling for them because, I think, if you pay attention, the more complicated ways Amazon manipulates rates internally to get trucks dropping and hooking for company driver pay and doing 14 stops for full truckload pay, and making people run several unprofitable, super cheap loads to "get a score", and all of those things, they're as bad as TQL, maybe worse.

AI cares even less than the worst broker you've ever talked to on the worst day of their life. The way these systems can network together? No, we should never provide capacity for places that do what Amazon does. There's no upside. It can only make things worse for the trucker, and in most ways, even for the broker! Almost certainly for the shipper too.

 

I'm no friend of AI but I have a couple of friends who are using AI in their very technical engineering jobs. I explained to one of them the other day how AI is taking over brokerages and he laughed out loud. His response was that automated phone bots is about the worst possible use of AI imaginable and the more I think of it the more he's right. As a way to store and organize information it has it's advantages. As a glorified answering machine for a phone system it's just causing more chaos.
