<p>[QUOTE="*Five-0*, post: 4571145, member: 146515"]An interesting pay structure might combine the two somehow. You start with a base cents per mile rate lower than normal (like .25/mile) then add in a percentage based upon gross PROFIT, with the percentage of gross profit calculated in such a way that that the driver could potentially earn into the $70,000's (or more) with a decent effort. The true earnings potential comes from a combination of 1) Solid rates 2) Productivity and 3) Control of costs. By providing an incentive to the driver to earn more by controlling costs and achieving high productivity, you should attract and keep drivers who take pride in their work, will take care of your equipment, and act as a partner in your success. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just a thought....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
