Practical suggestions for saving $ for O/O

It's a beautiful business model when you think about it. If it's true, and the OP didn't know it....well....how do you not know that if you're an O/O?

 

lol, You'll see one day...........That $1000 you booked will go in the pocket of a mechanic once youir radiator goes......

If you have no intention or desire to work on your own truck- You'll just "get by" financially In todays climate.

Besides....You'll get to know your truck better- AND its good exercise and keeps a positive image about you and your truck.

If youi choose to spend tens of thousands on shops to fix your truck, Thats your business- its just not smart with a 1 truck operation.

I think you're missing the point. Instead of spending a day replacing the radiator (assuming I knew how to do it and invested $1000's in all the tools) to save $500-600 in labor I'd rather work an extra day and put close to $1000 in my pocket. That's why I didn't buy a truck with 1,500,000 miles.
You really have no idea about my expenses or my gross including gross per mile to say I'll just be getting by. And finally having a 1-truck operation was never my goal when staring this business
