Just Became Owner Operator and got questions?
This past week I bought a 1985 FLC 120 Day Cab (350 Cummings, Big Cam) 15 Speed Overdrive, and Log Trailer to start my business. I know it is a much older truck, but I will be driving 30% 250 miles round trip, and the rest 100 miles round trip hauling logs out of the woods.
Here are my questions:
1. How much should I set aside for maintenance.
2. Is there a place on the web for me to go to and get some ideas about business start-up and how to figure up cost per mile? (I have read over the past post about the spreadsheet that someone had, on excel, but I don't have excel).
I have been a company driver for the past 8 years and have always had maintenance and everything else took care by the company. I am looking at doing my own pm, oil change, grease etc..., but will have to learn.
Any suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated.
