Operating costs are simply the fees you need to run the truck, such as gas, insurance, registration, etc. Typically, with used semi trucks, operating costs are lower. One main reason for this is because the truck is worth less than a newer model. For example, if the truck is totaled in a car accident, the insurance company will pay less to cover the cost of the truck if it is used vs. if it is new. Therefore, your insurance premiums are usually lower with used trucks.
