One more thing I will ##### about as I sit here going through receipts that I hope no one ever has to deal with is when you are in any kind of wreck, good luck getting anything close to the money invested in an old truck back out of insurance for it, ~100k in recipts over 4 years and it’s “general maintained that doesn’t prolong the life of the truck”
FloridaRetired, NightWind, Midwest Trucker and 1 other person Thank this. -

More of that paid off truck magic this week
check valve from supply tank to primary tank, and supply tank to secondary. Check valve at air dryer, plus signal line and fittings at governor, ~$600
also $150 on an air tank for the trailer which while I didn’t loose a day on, I did have all of Tuesday off between my Monday night drop and my final Tuesday night drop, so 80 miles round trip to the yard and back to
my final drop
oh and how come washer pumps never die on an empty tank? That was another $45 plus I’ll probably loose half a gallon changing itFloridaRetired, John Joel Glanton and ElmerFudpucker Thank this. -
That’s a hell of a log bookElmerFudpucker Thanks this. -
A solo o/o with own numbers on the spot market in the last 2.5 years, who pays 10k plus for insurance, some even pay 15k or more, then additional $2k for IRP, $2k for parking, etc., also the office paperwork involved; compliance and book keeping, has a hell of a task to stay profitable enough to make it worth while than being a company driver.Last edited: Dec 17, 2024
