Insurance costs
Yes, my own bookkeeping.feldsforever and Pamela1990 Thank this. -
Assuming your starting your own authority get ready for expensive insurance. Easily can top $2k monthly. I recommend buying an older truck without DEF and put additional funds to get it sound mechanically. You will save money, staying out the dealerships and older trucks are alot easier to work on if your mechanically inclined.
