Unless you have a wholly mobile earning skill set.

But, seriously, your dream sounds doable for about 75k.

I'm not totally sure about the cost of fuel, tbh, though.

If you arnt driving it much it shouldn't impact too heavily

like 150,000 youre saying?

Sorry, where did you get that number?

No, more like 100k

69. thats ahris favorite number

You got the capital of the truck and trailer, about 53k.

i would only really travel for music festivals and i got that number because im high as fuckright now

I live on about 35k a year, if I'm behaving, but that includes rent.

If I just add it all together, replacing rent with fuel, you got 90k. Though your insurance will go up for mileage.

Boom, your dream now has a number.

That's assuming 100% living in the trailer, mind you.

You gotta have some contingency reserve for breakdowns that you can't repair on your own. 100k and your first year is all you.

im about to go to school to get a tCDL license making roughly 6k per month so doing that for a few years saving a lot of that money would allow me to jumpstart it

You could just take a semi retirement and roadtrip the entire continent.

that could work too

Should it not be your thing, you can resell the stuff, settle in a place you found that you liked (and you would've scouted them out, too, while doing this road trip) and you'll have stories and experiences and knowledge altogether too few others have.

@RedVelvetMGTOW tcdl?

my bad lol i meant CDL im just high right now

Most truckers do not earn 6k a year, least ways until they get the job experience. Tanker is usually the way to go.

@Xychotic yeah i always have a back up plan if that doesnt work out

6k a year?

I'd hope most truckers don't earn 6k a year

6000 a month mayble less with taxes taken out

a yearf lol my bvad thought you said month, sorry brain fart

And now my spelling, bah.

Well, let's assume they take out something obscene, like 40%.

Your take home is roughly $3600

Something obscene, is essentially my tax rate <:why:480186116222353410>

(I assumed 40% because that's basically gov't spending of GDP)

Actually, let's make a daring thing and cut it in half to account for whatever benefits you have.

damn is it really like that?

In some cases once you have the experience, usually 2-3 years, and you own your own truck. You can clear upwards of 3k a month, but you have to include overhead, cost of fuel, repairs etc. My brother hauls fuel and make 98k a year.

That's why you don't want to be an owner operator.

That's a lot of risk you're taking on for yourself.

True

This is not RV's career, this is his money until he's got what he wants.

damn i never thought of it that way before, thank you guys for the advice

Owner Operator is a shit deal
