am i thinking ok or not

do they charge a rental fee for their trailer or just the 5%?

 

i would say try just truck for a little while and see how much that 5 % costs you in a month work out what a trlr costs payments and maintenance my opinion

 

no problem best of luck

 

Just as a reminder; if you are an O/O leasing your vehicle and/or your sevices to a company you are responsible for your own fuel taxes, medical insurance, fuel costs and many other things you probably take for granted.

 

Figure that if you make 200k/yr that 5% would be $10,000. A new all alum. flat bed payment would cost you about $8,000/year, a alum. step would cost you about $10,000, or a RGN would cost you $12-14 or more? Add the extra ins, maint. and everything else, I think I would pull their trailer. This is all based on the $200k figure, if you would make way more than that and I would hope that you would then you can see if it would be worth it

 

In the olden days, the trailer was paid 15%. Steel haulers said their profit was in the trailer even after the expense of chains and tarps. Of course, we are talking Michigan trains here.
