    Fuel and maintance changes for each year and type of truck (also who drives it and how) Insurance is going to very depending on coverage and driveing record.

    you cant go by what others costs are. some are better and some or worse then others. my fuel milage for a "crappy" mbn motor isnt bad.. 6.0-6.5mpg others its in the 5's.. some just have bad luck with break downs.. some dont.. only one way to find out.

    I don't own a truck, but there's a crapload of items:

    Fuel
    Truck Insurance
    Workers Comp Insurance
    Maintenance
    Tires
    Truck Washes
    Taxes
    Your personal pay
    Your drivers pay (if you're not driving)
    Permits

    and the list goes on and on. Some items are fixed costs (such as insurance & permits), while others fluctuate, such as tires and maintenance (in the event of a breakdown).

    I think in PA o/o dont need Workers Comp Insurance. I dont have it. No one has ever asked me for it.
    Truck Driving an occupation consisting of hours of boredom interrupted by sheer terror!!

    It probably also depends on the carrier you're leased to - I know Celadon requires it.
