Whichever it is, you will still not be able to avoid these necessary check-ups and repairs in case of a breakdown.
Same as truck accidents or climate changes have a huge impact on trucking and are unavoidable, the checkups go straight proportionally with these variations.
5. Insurance
To continue with, as natural the insurance trucking expense as it may seem to you, you need to be careful because there are different insurance policies for the trucking industry.
Several of those specific insurance policies can cause over $6,500 costs on a yearly basis.
Having said this, besides the different insurance programs, you have various insurances to cover as well:
- Drivers (Medical and Dental)
- Trucks Insurance
- Business Insurance
Same as the previous inevitable trucking expense in your business, the insurance coverage soaks money profit as well.
How To Avoid
As shown above, you will need from $2000 to $4800 per truck in your trucking expenses.
