Team O/O how do you pay yourselves?

My wife and I have driven team as owner operators for the last 4 years. We normally pay ourselves 1/2 of the pay that is deposited in our account from the company we lease to. This pay is after, fuel, qualcomm and insurance expenses.
I have recently talked to another O/O team who pays themselves a weekly salary and they said they love it because they can budget their bills easier.

So my question to you is, How do you pay yourselves for paying your personal bills separate from the Truck expenses? We are just looking for a better way to build up more money in the truck account and yet keep our personal bills paid. We would appreciate your responses.

Thanks

What would be a good salary and do you pay yourselves every week regardless of whether you work or not?

 

Just curious as to why you would have a maintenance account separate from your business account, isn't it all one and the same? Or is there a tax advantage there?
