Owner/Operator Advice

Ok this is a "Lets assume Question" and I'm sure you all know it's not just for assumption....So, I start with this;

2005 Volvo VNL670 60" sleeper and a 2000 Great Dane trailer 2004 Thermo King Reefer 53' air ride

(November 2013) repairs included:

• brake shoes and drums
• brake chambers
• brake s-cams
• shocks
• muffler
• exhaust pipe
• lube and oil

• turbo
• jake brake
• starter
• alternator
• a/c compressor
  
• drive tires
• steer tires
• windshield
• power steering pressure hose

there are more parts already replaced ...Truck is fully registered and insured and currently on the road working and making money

Here's the set up; If a guy with little experience could buy this unit for under 25k w/ trailer, is it a good deal? Can he make $$$$ doing it? What would that trk need to turn per mile before making money, how many miles a week would he need to run?...Fuel, payment, maintenance etc...

 

I do have less than a year as a "driver" i have been around the business for sometime. My dad was an O/O before his passing....I know that most business failure and success isnt as much as knowing the business but know how to manage a business. It was just a deal I ran across and wondered if a newbie could go overboard and make a good living doing it bu just jumping in with both feet...Im sure its not the recommended way but could it happen?????...IDK, I just think with the right advice it may work.....Im asking you guys because Im sure you have paved the way......

Yes it includes the 53' reefer unit......I thought it was pretty sweet but then again Im a newbie and just wanted to see if one (newbie) could make $$$ doing it...Jumping in with both feet from the pan to the fire but you cant open the parachute without jumping from the plane...lol...I just wanted to see how much that truck would cost before making money
