Trucks are as followsCouldn't sleep last night so finally read the entire thread, very impressive work, you definitely hustle. I have a few questions if you don't mind...
How are you handling truck maintenance? (Send them to a shop, maintain/fix them yourself, etc) If you're looking for deals on used trucks do you have issues with them? I know how rough guys can be on equipment.
Also, when you got your SBA loan what did you use the money for? Did it help you scale how you thought and did you use the money the right way or would you have done something different looking back?
Once again, very happy for you and great job. It's a motivating story to read and cool to see people on the forum getting it done out there.

Maintenance is just oil changes on the weekends. I’m taking the f150 in for one today actually. All part of a managers job. Each location will have a manager and they will be busy for 120 days with signups and hiring but the rest of the year they can easily find time for maintenance.
Finance every car. Why would I park 30k into something that sits and does nothing? I can spend $1000 on ads and get 55 leads, schedule appointments with 25 of them, signup 15 of them and add 28,800 in revenue for that year and take home 14,000 of that as profit. I don’t have savings, if it’s leftover it’s just more growth money.
I spent the money on ads and having extra employees to make sure we had no problem ramping up quickly.
