truckDoctor's truckCycle Laws™

- new trucks become used trucks(as soon as you sign)

- per mile maintenance expense goes up as miles increase

- supply demand forces determine used truck values(quality is a relative rarity)

- ability to buy (credit, cash, and industry knowledge) determines used truck prices (dealerships, the factory will hose you in a second if they can get away with it)

-some trucks maintain a value that is a much  higher percentage of their purchase price than others

-some trucks have a significantly lower maintenance cost per mile than others.

if you don't know how the above applies to you or don't know the answers to the open statements...

RULES

To make more profits and to create a new profit center.

Generally there are two basic ways to profit with truck ownership

1) operationally

a) paid utilization rate

b) expense control

- driver

- fuel

- maintenance

- insurance

-  deprecation

-administrative overheads

 

2) sale of used equipment

- Since individual truck values decrease with time

- and quality used trucks sell first and for more

- then careful attention to truck model and specifications

a) can allow for profit on the sale of used over and above the maintenance and depreciation costs involved in aging the truck ...i.e.; buy a little more up front, get a lot more back and enjoy the fruits of quality along the way.

 

the  "cheapest priced truck" often means the highest operational expense and the highest risk along with the lowest resale value.

TruckCycle Tips

Convert all truck revenue and expense to "per mile" basis  ...if you think all your truck decisions in terms of $/mile all the numbers fit together.

 

Your paid utilization rate determines your profits. 

$3.00/mile and 400 miles per week usually doesn't work as well as $1.25/mile and 2500 miles per week.

$20-30,000 down ...anything less makes the payment just too high for most.

Numerous benefits, including a healthier food potential.

Downside - high payment, length, weight.

Critical Thinking in lowering truck ownership risks;   ...Specifications, the truck make and model, financing terms, safety issues, driver and market perceptions, the time of year are all considerations,  components integrated into  the truckCycle™ program and each can mean thousands of dollars of equity to you.  With thoughtful considerations of time and other risk factors the result is an exceptional "low risk" for you, a great income producing tool,  with the huge side benefit of asset growth.

Action

A determined effort, a tough  "I will not be denied" mind set helps, too.  Unfortunately, trucking remains above all else, highly competitive.

  truckCycle provides the tools to give you a useful edge.  It is your responsibility to put the tools to good work.

 TruckCycle Requirements

  • CDL

  • 1-2  year recent minimum as an employed driver

  • Positive credit history

  • minimum cash down payment  5k on used 10k-12k new, 20k-30k custom sleeper

 note; weakness in one area can often be overcome by strength in another.  Cash is a very persuasive risk reducer in the minds of most, including the finance source.

- "0 downs" are a bad thing

because they increase future risk disproportionately to the potential rewards.   They most often take away the possibility of profit on the sale of used while forcing the buyer to encounter the naturally high maintenance cost/mile found in an aging truck.

A link to Sundowner Sleepers, these craftsmen build an excellent custom sleeper in LaGrange, Indiana  and the people are straight shooters.  LaGrange is in Amish country so ya might have to dodge a few buggies if you want to drive there.  Oh yes, even after the buggies have gone, often they leave something else to dodge.
