    Federal, state (if applicable) and local tax has surprised many. After depreciation is exhausted. I'm working on taxes now. Uncle Sam wants his cut.

    What I've tried to do is to lay out the numbers in a way that others who are considering going into this industry as lease/owner ops, will sit back and go, "WHOA NELLY, do I really want to do this?"

    It really doesn't do any of us any good in this industry, to have the cycle repeated over and over and over again, by these guys who think they can beat the odds established by the house.

    There is only 12 out of 35 that apply to me.
    3 of the 12 I would have no matter what I did for a living.

    I think your fear mongering.
