Truck two can double your business or drain your bank account. See how many jobs it needs, how long it takes to pay for itself, and how much cash it eats first.

Add up what truck two costs each month: payment, insurance, fuel, repairs, its crew and the extra marketing to fill it. Divide by what you keep from an average job after dump fees. That is the number of jobs a month it has to run before it makes anything. The calculator shows it as jobs per week.
