Cost of Operations

Are you going to post finished spread sheet ?

 

Where do you live?? And what kind of freight are you looking to pull?? How long has it been since you drove??

 

I got 6..48 last year in my 2001 international with a isx. Not much idling though.

 

I hate to say you came to the wrong site for insight. honestly help for ppl wanting to take a leap of faith ain't that great in here. But if you look up @rollin coal he had a thread of starting his own company!! Since you aren't going to get your own authority not all will apply to you.. I will say that once you figure out what kind of trucking you want to do you can then see what others in that field have for startup costs. Then you can easily figure out most other costs like plates highway taxes and etc. depending on the company you go with your insurance cost will vary especially since you have a older truck and the value of the truck is lower. Fuel costs is a part of doing business and depending on what type of trailer and freight you pull also what part of the country you are going to be hauling. Also some of the bigger companies get fuel discounts so that also will alter that.

 

You have me confused with someone else. I'm leased.
