Buying a Truck and Leasing it out ??

What was the old saying ...

been there, done that and lost money.

suggestions?

buy real estate.

rentals are profitable and actually low risk.

Consider commercial real estate.

 

If all you want to do is drive and make a little money, buy an rv and stop in towns and sell flags or blankets.

 

check around your home base for another recent retiree and offer him a part-time gig paying a percentage of the gross or a higher percentage of the net. If you are looking to lease onto a company that allows you to operate under their numbers ask the dispatchers who has retired lately and offer them the same type of deal.
If you do this dont expect that he will drive only in winter or will be at your beck and call....he is retired.

 

Call NHH Services talk to maria, run what u want, move campers, or mini floats

 

Lease up don’t run under your own numbers. When leased up, you only have a couple hundred a month in insurance, i know a couple guys who do what you are looking for.

the key is finding a good company to do it with, & one that is ok with you doing it.

 

The only time I’ve heard of a Company letting you do it, charges back for Liability. Maybe a self insured Company would allow part time work? Why not just pay the insurance, and run just a little bit more to cover the cost? Putting a Driver in the Truck seems too risky for me. One mistake, or abuse of equipment, there goes the whole year. I’ve thought about doing the same. Either way, it’s going to cost. Being that working is optional, you can work smart, easily meet your goal. Depending on other costs like equipment payments. Just insurance? Should be possible. Insurance like repairs, pay and look away while doing so. Lol.

 

How much are you willing to lose before you listen to the adults talking?
