I was a OTR driver for a while and am considering buying an expdeitor, as a former truck mechanic, i know about equipment expenses and maintenence, I have calculated truck notes, and fuel but what i need to know is what the expenses are in registering/insuring a D truck
1.) If you get insurance thru the carrier you are leased to do you have to have additional insurance?
2.)Where do you get the truck's base plate and what is the usual cost for it?
3.) What other expenses are associated with a start-up of this type when one plans to lease to a large company like fedex cc, panther 2, or tri-state
Any help that can be given is much appreciated
