I'm assuming they are going to pay you a % of the "per mile" rate that is calculated after deducting assessorials, such as FSC. FYI - most customers, such as shippers, never operate off of "per mile" rates and a FSC. That is all crap that brokers use to manipulate numbers and keep you in the dark. Shipper A wants to know how much to take there stuff form point A to point B. How you split it up, is not their concern. Their accounting department could care less about per mile... And if you ask me, 22% and even 25% is too low unless they are offering full medical, dental, and vision coverage from day 1 with very low co-pays, quarterly bonuses and a daily per diem. As a company, driver expenditures will take up between 30-40% of your "rate." So, if a truck makes $1.40 per mile as a yearly average, $0.42 to $0.56 per mile is what your driver will cost you. I think you mentioned $1000-1300 a week is what you'll be making...at 22% of gross. So, your truck is making between $4500-5000 per week. If you average $1.40 per mile annually, that's around 3-4K miles per week. You'll never be home!

| Well, had to bite the bullet and ask for a van load home today. I'm in way too much pain to be tossing securement equipment around right now. Hopefully get home, get fixed, and get back on the skateboards.

| Flatbed is the only way to go. No offense to the 400 lb box haulers in the buffet line at the flyin hook with their boogers, nose-hair, stinky fingers in the chicken. Flatbedders have a sense of humor. |
