I agree you don't calcute your own time @163$/h.
But calculating your own time @ 0$ is also wrong.
Then your are a slave off your truck.

Not many repairs I’ve done have taken more than 4 hours.
Plus most of the time I feel better knowing I did it.
I had to have a radiator put in on the road. 3 broken bolts (not fixed) and a glob of grease on the drivers seat. Not even so much as an I’m sorry.......
I don’t have to work so hard on the road and enjoy the time I spend in the shop wrenching. All possible because I’m not buried in a monster truck payment.
I’m glad there are people like me AND also people like the guy I’m leased to with a fleet of new trucks. Makes the world go around.Swine hauler, kwswan, Long FLD and 5 others Thank this. -

I'm ready to learn something. -
Here they are. Actually if you go to " ATRI operational cost of trucking" and get to page I think it is 18-19 and compare it to mine, they do not seem too unusual. Keep in mind though that the expenses listed in the survey, their respondents have an average 3 yr old truck and you have to convert US dollars into Canadian

90% of those expenses look like regular maintenance items to me.
