    The average PMTG driver wage for the last 3 years was $72,000 plus
    benefits. Driver wages (other than training wages) are paid at
    approximately 20% of the revenue for all outbound loads. Wages average
    approximately $0.55 per mile for all miles driven.

    Please explain what this means
     
    ATX Thanks this.

    say revenue is 1100.00, you get 20% of that which would be 220.00
    you would then divide your pay (220.00) by the total pay miles driven
    example 220.00/400=.55 cpm
     
    ATX Thanks this.

    No kidding. I get 28% and that works out to about .36/mile. I take it because I may spend 1 night a month on the road and I'm off from Friday afternoon to Monday morning.

    When dealing with % load / pay formulas, the 'mistakes' aren't always 'mistakes' ..... catch my drift ? Keep GOOD records !
