Waarmyguy Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I have a couple questions for the experienced and new operators 1. where can one go to get approved for a used roll back with a wheel lift when you have questionable credit? 2. what rates is Copart and IAA paying these days in the Pierce County, WA. Areas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodmichael Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I would strongly suggest that you develop a strong business plan before you leap into a truck payment. I would have savings in excess of six months to cover your living expenses as well. Know your cost per mile, cost per day, cost per week, cost per month. Your biggest expenses will be labor and fuel. Fuel is very volatile and unpredictable. Here in S. Texas you need about 10k a month to keep a truck on the road. One needs to generate about 334. dollars each and everyday to accomplish this. Knowing your costs allows you to add in a profit margin so that you turn a profit on every call you make. There are no free miles in the real world. Every mile wears out tires, clogs fuel and air filters, breaks down brake, oil, diff fluid, and trans fluid. There is no free.
