    Howdy yall! I am located in Dallas, Texas. I am a diesel mechanic with a class a cdl. I’m thinking about getting a tractor and letting my father in law drive it. I fix it and drive it on the weekends. Would I make enough to pay my father in law, the truck, plus insurance? Rn I’ve been quoted a truck payment at 2700/m and insurance 1800-3k/ month. I wondering how much is it possible to make, if I’m a power only carrier. My father in law is only gonna get paid as a driver- he has no ownership. His choice not mine, I want to pay him fair . He has years of experience driving. I’m just a fish
