Some numbers for new O/O

Bummer. I didn't read back far. Is that a D12? How many miles?

 

The original post is pretty #### close. I decided to start with a truck I could afford for cash, and I use a company trailer so that cuts into bottom line for 8%. But otherwise, the model is accurate!

 

I'm still in the process of buying one semi, renting it out and seeing how it goes. Not planning to drive.

Just wondering, what would you do if the truck breaks down far from home? Would you just call any nearby shop? Obviously, if you've been in the business awhile, you'll have a 'go to' shop

 

This sounds like a train wreck.

 

Why do you say that? I don't want to start a business right away, so I feel I am limiting my risk.

I'm just trying to gather information about what it takes. I have a family member who drives a truck so I'm planning to ask him if I can come along. I'm kind of reluctant right now because of Coronavirus.

I would drive myself but I am disabled (balance problem because of a stroke. I need the assistance of an aid to walk). I just saw this as a way to get a little income (haven't had a job in over 10 years).

 

Didn't even know that was an option. Thanks!
