found a job where i can drive a 1 ton truck hauling rvs but have expense questions

Problem is, nobody is paying anywhere near $1.70 loaded mile in the US and it's silly to run what costs $50,000 USD to buy new and show NOTHING for a note payment or depreciation, plus your fuel cost is too low if you're running 7000 MPM loaded assuming you will rarely find anything that resembles a back haul that is practical. But go ahead, you're welcome to it. And to pay yourself anything less then $4000 month is sort of silly too considering the investment required and the risks and challenges involved and the fact the business is VERY seasonal and you WILL not run 100% more then maybe 7 months/year

 

Spent about 5-6 years moving RVs.

Good Luck.

If some one pays 50 k for a new truck they got it in the wrong place. I run all year and my loads going east pay well.

 

hiii98 , we all wish you well....you came onto the forum with questions.....and we tried to give the benefit of what we do know...there are all kinds of variables , and still more total un-knowns that can't be figured in or predicted , just make sure you come up with a figure that you can live with as profit and go for it....but also remember those un-known variables , try to get a figure in your plan that seems to work...then double or even triple it , just to be safe. It's those type variables that folks don't prepare for that cause them to go belly-up....seen it happen too many times ...no one can predict what your trips will be like , some may pay very well , others you will loose money on ( nature of the beast)....But please don't discount what us experienced guys have told you.
