So I'm going flatbed

They make it pretty simple adds how much ever more to your fixed cost as little as $20 or as high as you want it to be, contract doesn't change. So I'll still be done with the lease in April of 2018 have 3 years experience, 2 years flat bed ,a year reefer. Then will have enough saved up know the business side of the industry well, I keep up with numbers fuel cost etc. Will get my maintenance fund, tire fund, excess mileage charge and performance bond back equal to about 10,000. And If I Average 50,000 Next Two Years and save half I should have about 50,000 saved by 2018 gives me enough overhead after buying a $25,000 truck that if I drive it two days and the engine needs an in frame I have the funds to do it. And if I end up making more I could end up with my on trailer and truck in my name then I'm leasing to a flatbed company.

 

Here's the kicker, I will have business experience I will have flatbed equipment, I will have flatbed experience, I will have driving experience. And did I mention that I'll be buying a pre emissions truck. Am aerodynamic truck. I'm thinking a t600 mid roof.

 

See here's the thing, I'm not looking to buy the truck. I don't want the hassle of a emissions truck until the government makes me buy on I live in nc so im pretty sure I can avoid California. And eventually I would like to get into over size over dimension without needing a lift/pusher
