 mpg on trucks
A really good truck will get 7mpg. I think I heard Kevin Rutherford say that 1mpg will cost you $20000 in a year. It would be really wise to buy a XM radio and listen to his programs on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. He gives a lot of tips on how to run a one truck trucking business. If you are really into it you can take his class to be a CMC-Certified Master Contractor. The information in his classes would be a waste for someone like me because I pretty much know how a trucking business works for years of trucking. Talking to people and checking out different deals. It would be a great investment for a complete newbie to spend the $500 or whatever the class is because you will lose way more than that if u get in a bad situation because of your lack of knowledge. After that I would recommend Anderson Trucking. They have a 1 year lease program where you can jump out at any time. Its sorta like owning your own truck, but they hold your hand a bit. The experience you would gain in 1 year at Anderson as a lease operator would allow you to find the best deal for you or maybe you would buy a truck from them and continue to work for them? They sell you a truck at their cost, but of course they make money on the interest of the loan and you working for them.
