Am I getting paid enough?

Company driver for small fleet...18 trucks total. Supposedly I get paid 36 percent of the truck's revenue. Detention pay 18 per hr after two hrs. I am a regional driver that is home 2 to 3 nights a week and every weekend. No other pays or benefits. Is that okay?

 

Are you happy and does it pay the bills?

 

Does'nt sound too bad most that get paid on percentage is 25% and no detention.You get it after 2 hrs,can't beat that.

 

36 per cent is a good rate, by the number, but it obviously will be tempered by what kind of rates your company hauls for. If they haul cheap stuff it may not be so good, premuim rates, it would be real good! What other expenses do they make you pay or they pay?

 

I front toll money if it is out of the local area....reimbursed of course...no other pays....if I stay out and dont go home during the week, I gross over 1000 for the week. If I go home every nite, more like 6 or 700.

 

I am on a dedicated account, no cheap craap here.

 

I am, but the wife hates my job....am pretty sure I have the best tanker deal I could ask for...considering I havent been driving over 5 years yet...She wants me home at 5 every day....not this guy.

 

So no health insurance, no vacation pay, are you on w2 or 1099?

 

1099..........

 

Awww....man say it ain't so.
