    I am interested in working for a hotshot company that pays by the load. What percentage of the load is average?

    Not sure bout hotshot, but most trucking companies pay 23 to 27 percent.

    Thank you. That is what most places have been offering, between 25 to 30 percent. I just wondered if that was normal considering most jobs around here are pretty local so if they get $3 per mile on 100 mile average jobs, I don't see how that will pay off. Maybe I should look for jobs paying by the hour. Are there any like that from your experience?
