The journey begins - purchased a truck.

Yep - to mess with all the freight hauling, that's fun right there. I'm being dragged off to the Monett speedway tonight by the neighbor - get my behind out of the house.

 

Yeah - me too, I feel an entitlement urge coming on - me deserves some cleaned up fishies!!

 

Well - had a chance to total up the numbers for last month. This is one of those starry alignments where settlements are up to date with the truck - translation - I haven't moved in 9 days.

I spent a few minutes looking at month to month expenses, revenue etc, but it all averages out to the following -



Quite a shift from last year - the % of revenue that we're keeping - last year was a mirror image, 57% expense, 43% profit.

This is driven by a much reduced maintenance cost, and reduced fuel. Last year maintenance ran .34 cpm - fuel .31.

'Supplies' had the v-twin pressure washer motor included , as I wash the truck with it, and the generator. So it's a little inflated, but not a lot.

$1.63 remains the all miles figure. Slightly less than last year if I remember rightly. My deadhead doesn't help - I see no point in spending a night or weekend out on the road if home is within 400 miles. I don't care, I've got a perfectly good house and nobody to tell me I can't go home.
