That is why I'm using equipment I already own and not out buying equipment which will result in more payments.

The other thing is if one truck breaks down, I'll still have one person sitting, cars not being moved, customers unhappy.

I guess if you already own the trucks and it's a new business, that makes sense. I assumed the business was established and you had assets sitting idle (your other truck). Good luck with the business!
