how to figure pay out

$900 for 600 miles is $1.50/mile (900/600). Multiply by 65% to get $585 & $0.975/mile.


Unless your 65% cut is $900, in which case the load paid originally paid $1385 (900/.65) or $2.31/mile

 

Take the dollar amount and divide by the miles driven. 900/600=1.5

 

65% of $900 is $585 and divided by 600 miles is $.975 a mile.

Dang I'm slow. Lol

 

There's a formula for everything just a matter of decimal points.

900 x .65 = 585

585 ÷ 600 = .975

 

This is cheap no matter what formula you use.

 

It sure is lol

 

Well if your cost to roll is only 78 cents a mile (allegedly!) that 97.5 cents means a 20% profit. So ones man's cheap is another's gold mine. Me, I'd just roll on over and go back to sleep lol.

The formula:

97.5 x .80 = 78

 

Truthfully, the load probably paid the company ~$1300 and the in house "brokerage" business took $400 off the top.

 

Hopefully he threw those numbers out as an example but sad as it is they are probably real numbers.
