Percentage pay pulling tanker, what will it pay?

I work on %. I like it. No stress or worry about miles per day. Just get there on time at whatever pace you like. Avg take home 800-1200/wk. but I also have all the benefits and HSA contribution. So about 200/wk into that before my net.

 

I work for percentage pay in flatbedding. Have for years. Last year's W2 was for just short of $60,000. For 9 1/2 months of home most weekends and screwing off during the week doing around 1800 miles of driving (by the hub)

38 weeks(approximately) x 1800 miles (average) = 68,400 miles for the year.

$60,000 ÷ 68,400 miles = 0.8871929825 per mile. round that off to $0.89 per mile in MY pay off the hub. Wow. I'm really getting screwed here on percentage pay. Sure.

 

I'm starting to see this more and more. I-m curious about it.

 

Ten dash four! ( don't forget Western Star)

 

I'm leased on as %. It works I make good money. As a company driver I averaged around a 1000 a week take home on 26%.

 

Figure your hourly rate, divide your hours by your gross pay, I'm betting you will be surprised. $1k a week is pretty low pay for 50-60 hours.

 

It's the net living in Jersey. Your right you do gas hauling up there you can make 28 an hour.

 

25% of nothing is still nothing. Ask for the freight bill, you'll likely won't see it. It is a shady trucking practice from way back. Bulk carriers in particular seem to practice this pay structure. This way they don't pay for delays, layovers, or overtime. Expect to be screwed at tax time also.
