How many years does it take to recoup the investment for a 6.8-meter refrigerated truck?
1 Answers
It typically takes about one year to recoup the investment for a 6.8-meter refrigerated truck. Here are some relevant details: 1. Freight Rates: A 6.8-meter high-side truck is suitable for medium to short-distance hauls. However, given the current freight market conditions, it's challenging to secure loads due to low freight rates. In terms of freight revenue, it lacks the advantages of semi-trailer trucks. 2. Risks: Operating large trucks involves increasing risks, including stagnant business volume, low freight rates, difficulty in collecting payments, frequent delays in freight payments, high driving expenses, fuel and toll fees accounting for half of the total costs, vehicle repair fees, routine maintenance costs, tire wear expenses, and potential fines from traffic police and road inspections. Therefore, entering this industry requires careful consideration.
