Truck and Trailer Repair

Allowing for maintenance costs is an important part of any business, and this is especially true for owner operators. For Jason, being able to manage and save his own funds for truck repair is vital for his business. 

“When I became an owner operator, I always heard [save] 10% of whatever you make for maintenance. I’ve done that. I’ve kept it in a side bank account, and it has always covered my maintenance cost,” he said. “That money is going back into the truck. You don’t have [that] account, your truck has [that] account.”
