average fuel surcharge at this time is around .26 cents a mile
-
I get paid 60% of what my loadd pays plus 100% fuel surcharge
-
I drive for a fleet owner and get 60% of the load + 100% of the FSC. I get 100% of any DH and 100% of any Detention pay. I also get 100% of a Dry run

60/40 split is standard. Bad is you pay for the fuel and you dont get to keep the truck or anything. Panther sucks though. Good luck with them.

I have posted this a couple other places...so I apologize for repeating myself. I told this guy I'd call him by noon EDT tomorrow.
I have been offered a co-driver position by a guy who says the drivers get 40% (20% each) of what the load pays and the company pays all the expenses of the truck.
His average...he says...is $500-600 per week gross. As contractors, the drivers are responsible for their own self employment taxes, etc.
This number sounds low to me. Am I missing something? -
At 20% after al of your expences you will be broke and don't even think of not doing your taxes . It will only drag you down even more!
