Owner Operator with a new truck

I am wondering how much money it would take to be an owner operator with a nice truck. If there is any of you out there I would love some feedback. Maybe list some salaries, expenses, and just some of the joys and pains of having your own truck. I have some extra money and I am wondering how much exactly it costs to have run a newer truck and pay all of its expenses along with all the other expenses of owning a truck. The trucks I am looking at are of course something like a Peterbilt 389 or a Kenworth W900. They are my favorite trucks and it is my dream of driving the country in one of these trucks. Any input from you guys would be great

thanks

That's a whole heck of a lot. Would you mind sharing what all these costs might be?

 

Not all pretty boy stuff just enough to make good money. I'm wondering about a new truck over a used one though because of less repairs but it would cost more. Or would a used one be better that I have to stick money into? Trying to make money but look respectable at the same time

Those are all very very good points I will keep them in mind. Everybody can dream about their dream truck tho and I was just wondering if anyone on here has a similar situation to what I listed

 

Just wondering are you an owner operator? Just wondering about an estimated salary no one has said anything yet
