    Greeting car haulers

    Trying to understand how some of us get paid 25% of the load and other get paid by the mile .

    Lets weight the prIs and cons

    Obviously some loads pay better then a $1 per mike when hi get 25% of the load and vice vercea , what do you guys think

    I'm not entirely sure what type of info you're looking for? Maybe be more specific or precise

    Yes, some get paid CPM and others percentage.

    % of load means no D/H pay. % is better (IMO) as long as D/H is minimal and you know the rate. Problem can be co's that don't tell you the rate, or, make up a phoney rate. Proper way is to show you a copy of the freight bill.

    Percentage is best in car hauling. Really depends on how well the freight is paying. I'm by the hour and only drive around 1200 miles a week. Hauling cars, most of your time is loading and unloading if your local/regional like me. Should average $25-30+ per hour working 50 a week.

    Ziggy do you mind if I ask how you pay your drivers? Just curious as going to mileage pay seems to be an Auto Haulers America Association idea for better or worse.
