Please help me. Is this a good deal? 60/40 split

Sorry for the explanation. I’m bad at explaining things. He pays the fuel. But I get 40% of the gross minus fuel. So let’s say I gross $10,000 for the week. And fuel is $4,000 for the week. I would get 40% of $6,000. I’ve had many people say I should get 60% and I’m getting screwed. I’m not very smart and I’m scared I’m getting used. Ty for helping me

 

Yes. My goal is to learn the spot market, running lanes, how to negotiate. Basically learn how to be an owner op with minimal risk

 

Ty for the reply. I’m so lost and questioning myself now.

 

1. I’ll

 

He owns it. I was just using those numbers as an example

 

That’s kind of what confuses me. I’m not a smart person. He pays for it but it comes out the gross that I get 40% of. So many people say I’m getting screwed. I need y’all’s input. Idk if I am getting screwed or not

 

If that makes sense. For example I book a load for 1000. It costs 200 in fuel. I get 40% of 800. So even though he pays for it it’s almost like I’m paying for it. Does this sound like a fair deal?

 

Ok so if I book a load for 1000 and fuel is 200. I get 40% of 800. So he pays but it is deducted from what I get 40% of. Everyone says I should get 60 not 40. I’m asking for help as to is this a fair deal or should I get 60%. I m lost
