    You gave info did you not? Like I said in past post( I don't expext all info from just one driver but maybe many will share some kind of expense they experienced) sample: hotel cost me $900 while waiting for my truck to get fixed so now I have an emergency fund just for that. Not to mention rental car and taxi.

    Yes I think I did at some threads before. I took time and did. My total repair costs for 2016 were
    $ 21,551.87 on 125K miles and it includes steering and whole set on drives. I bought a new trailer so I don't have the trailer tires costs for another 2 years, I hope.

    Depends on the state and how many miles you run. I live in IL, but have OH plates. Since I run a lot of miles in IL, my plates would be around $2,800, but being I'm from out of state, it's cheaper.

    I'm thinking about 45,000 and I should be able to get this off the ground.

    Insurance, authority, plates, permits, ect. ect. ect.
    Maybe get lucky and have 10 for maintenance 20 for feul?

    I should be saving soon.
    Lol soon as I get to work.

    Almost forgot, I still need a trailer.

    I hope when time comes I can get insurance rates as good as you got.
    Being a new start up I doubt it.
    Who knows, may I get lucky and keep my nose clean I Won't get raped to bad?

    when i first started out my insurance was over 10k per year,

    as far as plates go, i have 1 truck 2 trailers and a service truck that are all registered to my company so thats why mine might be a little higher than most, also its slightly less than the number quoted but rounded up
