Thinking of purchasing a Truck. Need some insight on basic cost for it

Hello,

I know that owning a truck is expensive, but what are the most costly expenses associated with a truck on a daily/weekly/monthly basis?

Can anyone give me real honest insight?

 

Hookers & blow then fuel then insurance, tags, maintenance & repairs. Not necessarily in that order, depending on what kind of truck u get and how much u like sex & drugs.

 

For me it's three things. equipment cost , fuel, variable cost I.E. repairs & parts. Fixed run at 11% fuel at 34 % repairs, which are high now for me are at 15% of total revenue. About 60 cents per mile. On a 2003 non egr tractor.

 

I do Maintence fund,Fuel truck insurance,and tags

Ex-
Trip=2500.00
1500 miles
575 fuel
maintence fund 400
insurance-varies each company as o/o
tags
the ifta if you dont buy enough fuel in a state they tax you

Don't forget if it's a Prostar with a Maxxforce motor don't forget money for towing.
