Owner Operators Closing Operations Next Year?

You're good, I wouldn't delete them. Just remember all the little BS expenses really do add up in a years time, that's why it's important to keep track of every penny you spend for your business....

I'd recommend getting some type of expense/accounting software or program to help you keep track. I use RigBooks.com but have heard good things about fogline software...

 

Retirement...

You’re missing at least $1200 per month maintenance. That’s with good luck. Might be less one year, more the next. On average over approximately 4 years it’s about $48000.

 

I "missed" several things, thank you for replying. Yes, I feel like an imbecile. Good news is, I have a truck with a warranty..ugh

 

Notice how quickly everyone was to correct you. That’s because we’ve all done the same thing. Try this- figure the numbers working only 3 weeks per mo. Not only are you short one weeks pay, you’re short 25% of fixed costs. Meanwhile the bills always come in on time.

 

Most of the competition ain't funding that, among other things.

 

Are you including trailer maintenance and tires? If so that's pretty good IMO.
I include everything including for my own trailer and average about 15–20 K per year.

 

I gotta wake my ### up at 6am every day this week and drag myself up to Vascalinas. Yeah, I'm doing the drywall there at the new McDonalds

 

15-20 is more realistic. I have averaged close to, maybe less than 12k per year on my Classic and dry vans over the years. I planned on figuring every penny since 09. Wife threw away all the taxes and receipts. I still have about 8-10 years worth. I’m curious myself what the actual averages are.
