    I'm starting out in flatbad was offered a job at logan making 25% of the load. This may be a stupid question but is 25% a decent rate for flatbed? Or should i move on to a different company, any helpful advice is appreciated.

    Ask them flat out what drivers average per mile on their percentage program.

    That's bout the only effective way to know if the pay is decent or not @wcherron

    25% of good paying freight is better than 30% of crap paying freight.

    I was told it's a flat 25% then after a year it went to 26% and about 2500 miles a week.

    You are not asking the right question. Ask them how much money their drivers average per mile.

    Is that W2 or 1099? Percentage is the only way to go with flatbed unless they strictly do full loads only with 1 pick 1 drop. I run mostly partials so it's worth it for my drivers to be on a % based pay instead of CPM

    It's w2 and I'm pretty sure they strictly do full loads but I'm not positive.
