New Semi-Truck vs Used Rig: Which is More Profitable? | Episode 119

This is an episode, comparing the profitability of a new semi-truck versus a used rig has been a long time coming and is one people have been asking for. I have been super excited about doing this since the early days of Haulin Assets. This was an eye-opening deep dive into profitability for me and to say the least, I am pretty shocked with the results, the difference was bigger than I thought it would be. I have some really good data and hopefully, you feel like it has been well worth the wait.
