Do you also have to deduct maintenance, insurance, tolls, etc.? or is that included.

I read this article the other day and thought of a post you made a short time ago about an increase in freight recently. I wonder if your third quarter numbers took a significant jump over the other two quarters. Here is a
link to the article and below were the paragraphs that made me curious about your post.
Quote:
Consumers weren't the only ones buying last quarter. Gains in both commercial construction projects and purchases of equipment and software contributed to a 7.9 percent increase in business investment. The 5.9 percent rise in spending on new equipment was the biggest since the first quarter of 2006.
An increase in inventories contributed another 0.4 percentage point to growth.
The economy was also buttressed by a narrowing of the trade deficit that added 0.9 percentage point to the rate of expansion. The gap shrank to $546.2 billion at an annual pace, the smallest since the last three months of 2003.
General Electric Co.'s third-quarter profit rose as large- equipment orders climbed 39 percent amid a surge in demand from countries that are building airports and power grids, the Fairfield, Connecticut-based company said Oct. 12.
``We see orders everywhere around the world,'' GE's Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Immelt said on a conference call earlier this month. ``That seems to be accelerating, not diminishing.''
Also, lately I've seen a lot of equipment being hauled around here, new machines not old ones. I see Keen trucks everywhere and a lot of independents also.
Wifes calling, gotta run :lol:
