    My brother in law is trying to get me to come drive for him. He said he will pay me 30% but I pay for my fuel? Estimating numbers i wouldnt make much at all paying for fuel.

    30 of nothing is nothing.
    No way man, and you give him the receipts and you pay the taxes.
    Run and give his sister back!

    You would go broke in no time.

    In the expediting world, the customary split is 60/40, with the 60 going to the one paying for the fuel.
