    Company driver for small fleet...18 trucks total. Supposedly I get paid 36 percent of the truck's revenue. Detention pay 18 per hr after two hrs. I am a regional driver that is home 2 to 3 nights a week and every weekend. No other pays or benefits. Is that okay?

    36 per cent is a good rate, by the number, but it obviously will be tempered by what kind of rates your company hauls for. If they haul cheap stuff it may not be so good, premuim rates, it would be real good! What other expenses do they make you pay or they pay?

    I front toll money if it is out of the local area....reimbursed of course...no other pays....if I stay out and dont go home during the week, I gross over 1000 for the week. If I go home every nite, more like 6 or 700.
