Percentage pay is when the driver is paid a set percentage of whatever the the load pays to the company. If the load is a cash cow for the company, the driver makes good money. But if the load doesn't pay that well, the driver takes a hit in low revenue as well.
Mileage pay is when the driver is paid a flat rate based on the miles from point A to point B, usually zip code to zip code.
Or were you asking about the take home pay?

Can you give a average on pay for percentage and Milage. I am new to this and trying to see what's best. I want to stay on road and work as much as I can, I don't care how long I am gone, what's the average on pay for a rookie driver?
-
It's kind of hard to do an average cause a lot depends on how you run, how you run your hours, where you're running, and types of loads. If you suck at tarping and all that, you're going to struggle. If you're home weekly, you're going to struggle somewhat. Lots of factors. When I was line haul, percentage killed mileage. On specialized, percentage kills mileage. I guess it's more in what you prefer. I'm also not the best to Tell you, cause I'm biased towards percentage, but whenever I did the figures it was either a wash, or percentage killed it.

Do you think tmc a good company to start with as a rookie, as for getting the experience and drive time.

MinniesB Thanks this. -
Bounce was 33 miles and loaded miles are 372. Under / mile pay you would get a max of .36/mile (if i remember right). that's $145.80
Which one do you want lol? Clearly % is better on 95% of the loads.Last edited: Apr 15, 2014
