15 cents a mile for maint.

[EASYTRADER]

Is .15 high low or average for maintenance expenses.

This includes tires, oil, washs, inspections, wipers, anything that physically goes on the truck or the labor to put it there.

The last two years this is how it has worked out. This seems high to me, but I don't know.

I have a 2007 Hino 338 with 700k on it.

It has never left me stranded, but I'm anal retentive so if something doesn't sound or look right I have it fixed or replaced.

How long have you had your truck? What is your historical average? I'd gradually increase it as the mileage increases, regardless of what vehicle you have. If you don't have a long enough history on that truck try to talk to other owners to get historical expenses.

I bought the truck new. The last 3 years, my mantenace spending has been between 15 and 18k per year.

I just dropped 5k to get a new compressor, and some other routine items done. So this year is starting expensive.
