Questions about TMC percentage pay

I generally get enough points for 28% to 29%. I believe that Terry Lamar was consistently higher than that.

That depends on the area. Out west your deadhead (bounce) could be 200 miles between loads. In the midwest you can sometimes reload in the same city.

For some long haul loads the mileage pay did work out better, but for me I almost always ended up the same or better on percentage, since I would get short loads working my way up the northeast to get home.

I am currently on a mileage based pay plan for the dedicated account I am assigned to. I think I would still choose percentage if I went back longhaul.

Basically it depends on what area you are in and what kind of freight you haul which is better for you. I kept track most every week and compared both pay options. Most of the time percentage earned me more, but if mileage did better one week it was not by much.

You will keep track during your training period and will get to choose after your 5 weeks with a trainer. Pick whichever you are comfortable with.
