New to trucking, just purchased my first truck, advice please?

You left out an important piece of the equation, what are you paying your driver? What does he/she have to say when asked why the truck is parked so much? I drive for my dad, he pays me hourly, I make good money, and dad still makes a lot even after paying me. Guarantee that if he wasn't making good money, the truck would be parked.

 

I’d say it’s time to take your truck somewhere else. You haven’t answered the question about what you pay the driver. If you pay decent you can always find a driver. And still be able to make money too.

 

Sounds like you won’t last much longer at the rate you are going. First thing find a driver who your truck won’t be sitting for days. Then take your truck to a bigger carrier, Chinatown a member on here is someone to talk to about where to go.

 

What kinda low wage burger flipping job do you have that a truck payment is the entire payment? And who talked you into this boneheaded move?
Have you ever been in business before? 90% fail in 5 years. passive income is a ridiculous proposition outside stock market averages and established buisnesses

Got your hands on a 200k truck?

You bought the peak, sell before its at the trough

 

She gonna run her trucks first. Pay her bills

 

Its hard to make money with 1 truck and another driver.

 

What make and model is the truck and who are you buying it from?
