Paying Driver 50/50 Split ?

if you'r paying %50 of grose then I'm looking for work. If your paying %50 of net then good luck

 

I have talked to a few people who have done this. They say you make out a little better than % or mileage. In their situation, the owner took care of all the major break downs and maintenance. Did you talk about that with him or her?

 

The way I understood it, it's 50/50 except major repairs and maintenance.

 

OK, sorry for 3 different posts. You and the driver, in your case, have to come up with a % that stays just for the truck. Like we will say 5%. You subtract that off of the top. Then it's 50/50. If there's a payment, insurance, so on. That's all split. Or you can figure that off of the top in a % and split the rest. I would make SURE he or she is going to slit fuel.

 

Split it all. I would work for that. Your on the hook for the big stuff. That stuff ain't cheap. If he or she abuses the truck that only comes out of your pocket. I would split EVERYTHING.

 

Thats a sometimes you're the bug,sometimes you're the windshield kinda deal....If your Hand is gonna split fuel and you're lucky and have 0 major breakdowns you can come out even or a bit better I'd say.IF you have a decent size breakdown,you will miss that extra cushion of the % that was going towards the truck imo.I'm kinda like you tho',it's kinda odd to figure it at a 50/50.Keep us informed on this cause I'm curious how this will work out.
