    Keep in mind the OP never said 1099. It sounds like taxes are deducted.

    Feast and famine.

    Get out of there. I don't see how you as a W2 that you signed for can be billed fuel. Something stinks. Unless that W2 is meaningless and they papered you in as a 1099.

    When I drove for percentage 35 years ago, it was 25% of gross minus brokerage fees.

    Is that what the going rate is now, 25% ?

    I think they call that a fuel efficiency bonus/incentive. The less fuel you burn the more money you get. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but it's smart business.
