    Yes. You will need to get know your expenses the best you can. You can estimate how many miles you plan to run a month then calculate expenses. Truck/trailer payment, maintenance, fuel, ins, tags, permits and dont forget retirement. lol. I have heard guys say 40-45% of gross should or will be your operating cost. i have also heard guys say thats too much and some guys say theirs is more.
