    You should not be paying for anything as a company driver. When I started as a company driver we were given 2 credit cards. One for fuel and one for hotels.

    You ran 4250 miles for 1119 bucks gross.
    And you still have to pay all the taxes yourself.
    No health insurance and no benefits.
    You make less than a rookie at swift.

    Your right.
    The truck made 4250 for the week.
    He got 1119.
    About 25 percent.
