I have already worked independently hauling waste for Stella Environmental using another owner's truck. Through MIIR Logistics, I want to build on that experience by establishing an owned-truck waste-hauling business in Missouri, with the equipment, operating protection and working capital needed to pursue sustainable operations.

The intended operating model is founder ownership and management with a qualified hired commercial driver. The driver must meet applicable licensing, medical, insurance and operating requirements. My prior experience remains central to planning and managing the work; it is not a current hauling award or a guarantee of future loads.

We are raising $124,000 as the initial project-wide funding milestone. The original plan below totals $118,900 before actual fundraising fees. It was developed for an owner-operator launch and does not yet include a complete hired-driver payroll and staffing plan. Driver compensation, payroll obligations, recruiting/coverage, insurance and compliance must be reconciled with actual hauling rates, miles and settlement timing. We will disclose the revised allocation and any remaining funding need before acquiring equipment or beginning paid operations; we are not claiming this preliminary schedule fully funds a staffed first year.

• Cash tractor acquisition allowance: $35,000.
• Transport, travel and transaction costs: $4,500.
• Independent inspection and diagnostics: $1,500.
• Hydraulic/PTO adaptation and verification: $5,000.
• Initial service and preventive maintenance: $6,000.
• Tires: $5,000.
• Assumed annual insurance premium reserve: $18,000.
• Registration, heavy-vehicle tax and routine authority fees: $2,400.
• Driver/safety compliance setup: $1,500.
• Fuel and DEF working capital: $12,000.
• Other operating working capital: $4,000.
• Emergency repair reserve: $15,000.
• Tax uncertainty reserve: $3,000.
• General contingency: $6,000.
• Total planning allocation: $118,900.

The objective is more than purchasing a tractor. We need a truck whose condition and hydraulic/PTO system fit the actual hauling assignment, along with inspections, initial service, tires, insurance, registration, safety compliance, fuel/DEF working capital and emergency repair protection. An advertised wet kit is not proof of compatibility: hydraulic output, connections and the transmission must suit the trailer's requirements. The $5,000 hydraulic line assumes verification/adaptation of equipped machinery; a complete conversion requires its own quote and may cost more.

The figures are planning allowances informed by the earlier dealer and public-fee research, not binding offers. No truck has been purchased or reserved by this campaign. Insurance is not a quote. Fuel and working capital are startup reserves to be replenished through paid operations, not a promise that a full year of recurring costs is already funded.

A suitable donated semi-truck tractor or compatible equipment would also help. Please contact the organizer about a proposed donation. Before accepting equipment, we would verify transferable title, arrange an independent inspection and check suitability. An accepted donation would be recorded separately and the remaining cash acquisition/startup need updated; it would not remove every inspection, repair, insurance or operating expense.

Stella's previously researched advertising describes top contractors making $3,500 or more weekly. That is not a guaranteed contract, net profit or take-home pay. The earlier cost model showed that fuel, miles, maintenance, insurance and settlement terms could consume much of gross revenue before a hired driver's compensation. We must establish viable operating economics rather than use fundraising reserves to conceal ongoing losses. No Stella endorsement or new engagement is represented as secured.

The retained $80,000 comparison has lower equipment/reserve allowances. The stronger single-truck $204,000 comparison and $502,000 two-truck staffed comparison are conditional alternatives, not additional current requests. The campaign goal remains $124,000, and fleet expansion is not represented as commercially justified by the current assumptions.

We intend to report confirmed work/equipment requirements, staffing and cash-flow revisions, inspection and acquisition decisions, operating readiness and actual costs. Every trucking fundraiser supports the same MIIR Logistics project; combined contributions, fees, accepted in-kind support and remaining need will be reported together. Contributions do not purchase ownership, repayment or guaranteed income and are not represented as tax-deductible charitable gifts.

Under FundRazr’s Optional Tips pricing model, the platform fee is 0%; payment-processing fees still apply. The itemized amounts are planning allocations, not guaranteed net proceeds. We will report actual fees, combined project receipts across channels and any remaining funding gap before committing to work that available funds cannot cover.

See other official pages for this same fundraiser on Yahmiir.com. The goal is shared across those pages.
