About me: 15 years driving experience. Perfect driving record
I'm looking to buy a new truck. Putting 80-100k down to bring my payments to about 1500 a month. After paying everything including insurance and such I'll have 50k operating capital My cost to operate is 1.24 pm I used high end averages to get this number. This includes all home expenses.
I plan on going to landstar or a similar company for a year before getting my own authority to get my experience with booking my own loads and working with brokers
I'm just curious what experienced O/O think of this plan?

I would say your definitely ahead of the vast majority when it comes to having enough money when starting out...
As for the 1.24 I wouldn't figure anything from your household into that number. I personally would keep the two separate.singlescrewshaker, FlaSwampRat and Wespipes Thank this. -

What happens if you get hurt and can’t drive? You going to go bankrupt? Or are you going to hire a driver to keep your company and livelihood going? So, you need to know your actual costs or you may think your doing better then you are or need to be.Wespipes Thanks this. -
