Do what Rambler says you'll do OK. I owned my own for 5 yrs paid myself a set amount a week and put the rest in truck savings account(wife was my money person) if I needed tires or repairs money was there. Don't do like some guys go out buy a new dually diesel wife a new car. If I wasnt 59 yrs old I'd do it again. Don't forget about retirement also.
Finally!! Got my own truck!!!

In your first post you stated you got the trailer in the deal for 50k. Are you just wanting to upgrade or was that a typo? Either way congratulations and stash that money away.
RollingRecaps Thanks this. -
Congratulations man! Nice choice in the truck also
-
Congrats on the new headache. Two of the happiest days of owning a truck are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. There will be highs and lows but stick with it and you will be fine. Again, Congrats

Congratulations on the new business purchase. Sounds like your going well. But there is a long list of expenses besides just fuel and tolls.
-
3000 per week clear profit, or do you have to pay for repairs, insurance, maintenance out of it?

Congratulations
