So I need some help. ( flat bed work )
I currently have my girl running a tanker for me local, she makes $25 / hour, OT after 8 or 40 / week.
I've been currently paying her hourly wage when she does extra OTR stuff for me but I've come to realize that it's not sustainable to pay her an hourly wage when she does OTR stuff because it pays SIGNIFICANTLY less than my tanker work.
Would it be more ideal to give her a cent / mile OR % of what the total bill charged is.
Back story, she is currently working a 2 weeks on, 1 week off schedule. I do the same, so we cross shifts every 2 weeks.
I've been doing the OTR stuff personally but I would like to throw her out there so she can get on the road ( she likes long distance stuff once and awhile, the tanker work is pretty boring )
Help me decide what to pay a driver

Typical pay is 25%. Depending on you’re revenue, you can decide. But 25% as a rule of thumb Should insure your overhead/ profit is met. Along with paying her a decent rate. I think % is best for everyone. Makes both parties Partners in Sucess.

I just want to diversify a little bit so everyone has a little more work. -
I see ads for van drivers offering both percentages and CPM, most of the CPM rates are running between .48 to .58 for starting as company driver, higher end for experience. Have seen a few that are in .65 to.78 for more specialized work.bonder45 Thanks this. -
It doesn't matter what you pay cpm or % because it all works out the same unless you're paying her some extraordinary wage. Being that she's your chick if Im understanding that right, Id probably pay her more than a fair wage.

We discussed it and she agrees with any OTR work at 28%.
She’s just a worker, not my girl.beastr123 Thanks this. -

Hers checks average $3000 / 2 weeks when I pay her by the hour. This OTR is just extra to fill in the days when the tanker work is slow.kemosabi49 Thanks this.
