Getting Into The Game

Got my own numbers 3 years ago, first truck was an ‘89, insurance company asked if I would run an ELD, I said Nope, they said ok, and that was the end of the discussion. My rates were high, as a startup, but nothing like some of the #s I see posted on here. Sheesh. I paid 21k the 1st year, it dropped to 13k the second, I’m gonna be around 11 this year.

 

mines 21k this year but I also have 250k cargo that is 4K off the top, and 2 trailer unlimited miles, my 25 utility is about $100 cheaper a year then my 15 Great Dane was for whatever reason, plus my spare utility.

I also live in Mass,

 

I don’t know if you mentioned where you live. But I don’t think you will find a company that will lease it on.Like mentioned an older truck like that the problem is readily available parts.So I would go for your own authority and keep the truck local.Depending on where you live if there’s a bigger nursery you can haul plants or brick or concrete block plant,mulch plants usually these facilities will work with single O/O guys and you can stay close to home. The drawback is that it’s close to winter and these companies slow down until spring
