Are you questioning his level of professionalism?
(I wouldn't hire him either----he does have a bad attitude)
I'll bet I could run circles around either of you. Package car or feeder...choose your weapon.

Will the load be limited to envelopes only?

Maybe you didn't hear. I'm taking peak off.

Nope. My truck is packed to the roof every day. Tell me. How fast can you chain a feeder or breakdown a set? Or can you even drive one?
The truck is an automatic. Commercial toes are expensive down here too. You really think $300/wk? That's close to 16K a year in maintenance on a truck.
The truck that comes with it is old and getting up there in miles. 2000 International p1000 300k miles. I thought about buying a new truck with a warranty but if something happens I have to take it back to the dealership and they take forever. My diesel mechanic will drop a new crate engine and transmission in for 12k. Those engines come with a 3 year warranty so I don't have to take it to a dealership for problems.
According to your numbers above, if you put a reman engine and trans into the truck, you will have $4k left for all other maintenance and breakdowns. Oil change every 10-12k, oil and fuel filters, set of tires. How are the brakes???
New trucks do not guarantee reliability or availability either. We have had several of our new trucks out of the lineup with fuel pump issues. How much does it cost to rent a truck if yours is not available for delivery???
I think the last thing I would ask is: why is the turnover so high among route owners?
what are you seeing cost wise per truck a year on maintnace?
