Didn't he say they were paying insurance and making the payments? I know its besides the point but if he financed it for three years he could stay ahead of the depreciation and come out with a paid for truck

[@Sizukun1]

They pay the insurance and some "minimum payment". Essentially he's getting a stipend for the truck. Yes he went into debt for the truck but they're paying for it every month. Its dangerous if he quits or gets fire, but if its stable and he's there long term he essentially gets a free truck. I think this entire clip missed that point.

[@PanchoSmitty1122]

They pay insurance and a mileage per diem which is basically they take all the gas prices in the area, average the cheapest ones and pay him for 75% of his travel. This is part of his total income, so his base is probably somewhere in the 18-20k range when that’s accounted for. That’s why Dave was saying he’s paying them to work there because once taxes, bills, and groceries are accounted for his annual savings is probably $5k or less.

[@Sizukun1]

@@PanchoSmitty1122 Not sure where you're making those assumptions. Many companies default to the 56 cents per mile IRS number, I know someone working for oil companies that get paid $1.50 per mile without a stipend for their vehicle because it isn't explicitly used for work. I'd say we probably didn't get enough information, but this isn't uncommon for field workers like this and so very rarely do they actually pay extra just to work at their own job.

This doesn't include it being in his name and insurance in his name. The legality of if he has a crash while working but in his personal vehicle instead of a company vehicle. That would require higher insurance (commercial) for the company instead of individuals. Maintenance and upkeep with oil changes, brakes, tires, etc... are most likely his responsibility (even time for repairs being on his time instead of paid company time). I have did both the using personal vehicle for field work and using company vehicle and having a company vehicle comes out on top even if have less money from mileage pay.
