Looking like that $150k is low Brian..... hope you are running LoJack or equiv. on that trailer. (No, I don't expect nor want you to publicly name what you are using).
Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the big Fords, but a truck is relatively easy to replace.
Costs are brutal. I know of a local garage where the building was bought outright but last I heard they still weren't making money - local business taxes and insurance alone are a killer.
I also have a friend who owns an 8 bay garage. I've seen some of the incoming invoices going through there; even the little incidental shop supplies add up crazy fast.
