I don't like running out of margin so I get an oversized tow vehicle and pay the price in upfront cost and operating expenses. Of course, I could sell the trailer and guarantee myself that I'll never have a towing accident but that is not acceptable either. So far when bad things have happened, I have always had adequate margin and no one got hurt.

Thank you Mr. A for all the numbers up front of this post. Very good to have hard data. Nice conversation going on.
Thanks WBMiller for the idea of margin. Been doing that a long time but never had the correct term for it. As you can tell by my signature I too like to have a little " margin " left over.
