-2500 miles week in and week out seems high. It's tough to dispatch yourself and run lotsa miles and get a good per mile rate. You can have 1 or two but not all 3.
-5.5 mpg in the summer maybe. Might want to budget less in the winter if you're running up north.
-Got a bunk heater and A/C? Idling can cost you ~$25 a day.
-Don't buy a 2008 ISX. Trust me on that.
-$1.20 seems high.
-You really need to factor in some DH....at least 10% if it's a van and more of it's something else.
-You really need to factor in some OOR miles. Your actual mileage will be ~15% higher than your "paid" miles.
-What about health insurance? If you get hurt you lose your equipment.
-You going to eat in the truck every meal? Could cost $20/day minimum to eat.
