Expenses of Owning/Operating- Water Truck (Construction Sites)

Hey folks, newbie to the site, and found some useful information about owning/operating a Water Truck.

I have been trying to get all my stuffed lined up for purchasing my first water truck soon (maybe during rainy season for better pricing).

Plan to operate in Construction sites for Dust Control, Pool services, and etc.



I am wondering if anyone on here already has there business up and running and started the same way i am. I need help in crunching down all the expenses from; Fueling, City fees, licensing, average maintenance costs, Commercial Insurance cost(monthly), and any other expenses that are mandatory when hiring others to run your trucks(which i plan to own more then one).



>Plan on purchasing a used truck of course. In the process of finding the right one.

>Working with a Water Truck Broker

>Debating on tank size still from a 2,000gal vs a 4,000. I hear the 4k ones stay on the job site longer.

>Kenworth, International, Mack, Peterbilt debate over reliability?


any advise on any of these matters i would greatly appreciate constructive Feedback.



Thanks in advance guys!
