What to pay a Line Haul Driver

10spd, DD15, twin screw. The engine is brand new (one poor decision of many during my inaugural 2yrs).

Looking but can't find any pictures on this phone. Its pretty much a generic white freightliner century condo, though.

 

Hiring a driver as a 1099 is lurky water and can lead you into a lot of IRS fines and having to payback tax withholding.

When I was in school. I drove a ten speed manual. And since I've been otr. I had a 13 manual and two automatics. All company trucks.
Personally I don't like the automatic s. They are built for fuel economy and not for work. The one I'm in now is a 12 speed. I'm in 11th great, literally at 35 mph. No speed or hauling torque. I can't stand it. On the lock in manual option. I get better power. More wheel control. But when I shift it up. I lose it all and have to start back at the beginning of the next gear. Great fuel mileage, not great power.
My first truck will be a manual. And no super singles.

 

What's a twin screw?

 

Both rear axles are powered with the flip of a switch.

 

Oh ok. So only one power axle. Un till you flip the switch I like that
