Potential Owner Operator with Questions About Trucking

I have a cousin who has been a truck driver for 6 years now. My father is willing to buy a truck and pay for the expenses (gas, insurance, taxes, etc.) He wants to make a decent profit and wants my cousin to make a decent living.

My cousin says its complicated to figure out who gets paid what, so I said I would look into it. What did I get myself into? LOL.

I understand what he means by "it's complicated". My dad was even thinking about buying two trucks in order to make more of a profit, but see how it goes first with the first one.

Should we just move on or keep moving forward and learn more about this trucking business?
