I'm very confused right now. BD was talking about Steve. Steve and GMAN are not the same person. Steve bashed GMAN on a couple of different occasions, so maybe you are confused about that.

You appear to be utterly incapable of grasping this elementary concept. It seems you are unable to grasp that new business owners must estimate costs. My fathers maintenance costs have been very low over the past few months. He's replaced a few tires and has had an oil change and a light and a resister for the A/C. So, is he to divide those costs by three to figure his monthly costs for maintenance? Or is the better plan to look at what other drivers pay for their maintenance and budget accordingly? Truck drivers have very few costs associated with doing business. The most expensive is fuel, truck payment, insurance, maintenance and trailer payment. Everything else is very low. If I had to guess I would say that most O/O's go out of business because they cannot manage their time and do not budget properly. Tell me what expenses I have not accounted for...
