Your truck payment isn't too much. Your trailer payment will run $165/week or less, depending on whether you rent one of their trailers or buy your own. I would rent until you see if you are going to like pulling a flat. I would think $1,200-1,500 would be more realistic starting out. In fact, the $1,500 may even be a little high to start.
The weekly take-home pay of 1200-1500 that you refer to....is that after expenses and provisions have been made ( including driver salary, maintenance / major repairs fund, truck replacement fund, and ofcourse, existing truck payment....and all other variable & fixed costs ) ?
