Several dozen loads over the next few years, maybe even 50 or 60 of them, saving $100 or more each time I need to use a truck over some length of whatever will pay for itself.
This is where you want to come to an understanding of ownership and operational costs: cents-per-mile.
1] Projected length of ownership
2] Projected miles in that period
The IRS standard mileage deduction is the place to start. The "game" is whether these miles are approved.
Once you are able to show the true cost-per-mile then your budget to modify a vehicle is outlined. Show it as a cpm calculation to gauge whether the vehicle is meeting your goals.
