Percentage Pay

Ask them for their average per mile, load, etc... Our company pays 75% and our O/O are doing well. Therefore we will be loooking more into it soon.

 

depending on the freight, they should be able to give you an average.
Only thing is when there are lots of different trailers involved like in specialized. 2 axle step, 2 axle RGN, 3 axle RGN, etc etc etc. Bigger trailer gets paid more, but even then they should be able to tell you the average for a given size trailer.

Percentage is good pay,better than milage most of the time.bad part of percentage versus milage pay is you dont get paid deadhead miles too good.So make sure where your deadheading to is worth the trip and you can make a profit off it.I would chk around abt leaseing your trk on with other co's who pay more %. 72% isnt very good.10-4

 

percentage pay is better. 72% can be good or bad depending on what the leased company provides and what their rates are. I get 70, they provide trailers no charge all ins except bobtail (allegedly they'll offer it soon) all tarps straps are provided, most loads are preloaded strapped tarped on the pickup side- I avg $2.25/$2.40 a mile after fuel surcharge for all odometer miles.

 

It all depends if they are going to guarantee a good rate or at least an average.

I drove for a company that paid me 25%. Little did I know their average rate was about $1.50 per miles. That job sucked.

Now I am working for a Mercer contractor making 30% on a 1099, but I run the truck like I own it.
