Let’s switch gears and break down a sedan-based opportunity, since many people start with a car. The goal here is the same: Don’t jump at a number, slow down, ask questions, and run the math. 🚗 The Opportunity - 💰 Pay: $250 per day - 📆 Schedule: Monday – Friday - 🚘 Vehicle: Sedan - 🔁 Round trip mileage: 180 miles per day - ⛽ Average fuel economy: ~30 MPG ⛽ Estimated Fuel Cost - 180 miles ÷ 30 MPG = 6 gallons per day - Gas @ $3.25/gal (estimate) - ⛽ Fuel per day: ≈ $19.50 - ⛽ Fuel per week (5 days): ≈ $97.50 📉 What People Forget to Factor In Even with great fuel efficiency, this is still a business decision: - Vehicle wear & tear - Maintenance (oil, tires, brakes) - Insurance - Time commitment - Taxes - Burnout from high-mile routes Low fuel cost doesn’t automatically mean high profit. 💡 The Lesson Sedan work can be profitable when the numbers make sense but it can also quietly eat your vehicle alive if you don’t evaluate it correctly. This same evaluation process applies to: - Cars - Cargo vans - Box trucks - Dedicated routes - On-demand contracts 👇 Let’s Talk Would YOU take this opportunity?
