Estimating Expenses Before Buying a Truck

You had better factor about $1.15 to a $1.20 a mile in total expenses, this will include a modest salary.
Fuel alone is anywhere from .60 to .70 a mile depending on the truck fuel economy.
You cannot factor % when your getting paid mileage or a flat rate. You have to factor hard numbers and you will sit there and ask yourself.... how can this be right ? I'm making $1.45 pm with fsc and my expenses are almost equal... something ain't right here. Numbers don't lie !!!
