    Yup... one has all kinds of sunken and fixed costs while the other is just cash in the pocket to go feed your self, and hopefully your family too... one must get a firm grip on these additional costs before saying 1.05 is better than 30 CPM... not really just a simple no brainer of the top line.

    But fuel is very cheap and tires last forever and you don't need insurance or permits unless you get caught and sell the truck and sign another L/P before you need to do any maintenance on the truck... it's a good business plan!!!

    And I prefer that peanut butter and jelly mixed in the same jar... it's much "cheaper" since you only have to buy one jar instead of two.
