What are good terms for Owner/Operator? If you work on percentage of the take split, what do you expect to be the percentage? This is assuming you have your own truck and trailer, pay all your own insurance (cargo, liability etc) and don't need fuel advances. What other benefits do you expect?
Please be realistic. We're looking to hire O/Os and we want to be fair. We book all loads based on "total to the truck", not based on some low rate plus fuel surcharge, so the split has to be based on total amount, not a base plus surcharge. Trying to keep it very simple.

Why would you take a split? If you have the wagon? Get your authority. Quit paying ridiculous rates for people to jump on a load board and find you freight.

Because you want to spend time on the road, not looking for loads. It takes surprisingly much time to actually find something that pays well. That's why I asked about FAIR split, not ridiculous rates.

i would say 85%

We pay 89% with the fuel advance and weekly pay. But if you can't afford to offer a complete package then you are down in the mid-single digits to you and are basicly a dispatch service.
lowjo Thanks this. -
Depend on where you getting you loads from. Bill gave you the 89% but he has his own freight that pays good. But if you gonna be pulling mostly off load boards not giving fuel advances or any other perks then you are no more than a dispatch service 93-97% range
lowjo and BigBadBill Thank this.
