    Used to be like that in the old days. My rig was leased to PIE,CF,TIME DC,other union carriers,back in the day. All pretty much the same. Tractor got roughly 40%,trailer got 10%,together,that was the truck check. Driver pay was on a separate check,roughly 25%. Last 25% to the carrier. Pretty much every carrier back then was on, or close to a 75/25 percentage lease. Driver was an employee of the company,got teamster benefits,and even gained senority.

    I’m a bit confused... you are in a Leased/Purchase Thread (Leasing a Truck through a Company) but wanting to discuss leasing your truck (assumed owned) on to a Company...

    Maybe I’m missing something.

    Not that way any more because 25% was not enough for the greedy companies. Also a ignorant crooked individual I will refer to as Jr let some companies get away with too much.

    Companies obviously got smarter than drivers in a business way.
