Truck financing payments will be disbursed directly to lenders by the investor as they become due and treated as equity invested, rather than as upfront lump sums. The schedule above indicates when each one-year payment cycle begins and will be paid on a monthly basis for 12-months from the date the vehicle is purchased. After the initial 12-months, truck payments will be paid using net cash flow from operations. Additionally, the investor agrees to provide a contingency line of credit of $25,000 if needed for ongoing operations if needed. This contingency funding will be repaid with priority before any profit distributions are made.
Financial Projection Assumptions
Revenue
Our trucks will operate at approximately 8,000 miles per month at an average rate of $2.25/mile, while transit vans will run 4,000 miles monthly at the same rate. These projections are conservative compared to industry averages of $1.50-3.50/mile, which we expect to exceed through strategic route planning and multi-load transportation.
Revenue forecasts reflect our phased vehicle deployment strategy, beginning with one F-250 with trailer, one F-450 with trailer, and one transit van. The F-250 and transit van have already been purchased by NXT LVL, with an additional F-450 and trailer to be acquired upon securing equity investment.
Our business plan assumes systematically adding two F-250/350s and an additional F-450 each quarter in Year 1. This measured growth will result in a fleet of five trucks and one transit van in the initial 12-months. Beginning in Year 3, we'll expand by one additional vehicle annually, reaching an optimized fleet of nine vehicles by Year 5. This calculated scaling approach enables us to maintain our premium service standards while steadily increasing revenue and net income.
Expenses
Fuel Costs - Calculated at 20% of revenue
Driver Wages - Allocated at 30% of revenue per load
Insurance - Projected at $18,000 annually per truck/trailer combination and $6,000 for each transit van
Truck Financing - Structured as a 60-month term with a 7% interest rate. Monthly payments are based on current Ford pricing: $1,324 for F-250/F-350 models and $1,347 for F-450 models (XLT trim with necessary upgrades)
Trailer Investment - Excluded from Income Statement as these represent Fixed Assets constituting part of the Investor's equity contribution. We've budgeted $15,000 for each 40' 14GN trailer (15,900 lb GVWR) and $35,000 for each 3XGN trailer (30,000 lb GVWR)
Financial Projections
*Reduced by an additional $20,000 to account for the trailers that will be purchased in Years 3-5 using cash flow from operations.

Equity Multiple
*Investor Cash Flow figures for Years 1-2 reflect adjustments for loan payments funded by the investor, which are treated as equity invested. This reduces expenses in these years and increases Net Cash Flow.
**Cash-on-Cash percentages incorporate these Net Cash Flow adjustments. These enhanced returns appear only in this investor-focused table, while previous slides maintain standard financial projections.
All projections assume a 5-year hold period with break-even occurring in Year-4 due to strong annual cash flows. Cash-on-Cash, IRR, and ROI calculations account for the initial loan payments treated as equity invested during the first 12-18 months of operations. The 3.2x ROI is based on a Year-5 exit at a 3x EBITDA multiple. Should this multiple increase to 4x, the ROI would reach 3.7x—exceptional returns for a 5-year investment horizon.
While we've maintained conservative projections showing 9 trucks by Year-5, our market research and team capabilities support more ambitious goals: 10 trucks by end of Year-3 and 15 trucks by end of Year-5. This expansion would drive annual revenue to approximately $3-3.3 million with net profit of $750,000-950,000, potentially increasing your investment ROI to approximately 4.5x over the 5-year period.
