What you really need to know rather than the percentage paid is the amount of revenue to the truck. 65% of a load paying $1000 is better than 905 of that same load paying $700. Do a lot of research before choosing a company to lease on with. Talk to as many drivers as you can. Find out how they run and what to expect as a fng.
Is there a way to get more than 65% without having own authority

There out there you just gotta look.

The answer to the OP's question is simple. You (an O/O, that is) are always going to work a little harder than you think you should and bring home a little less than you think you deserve.
If you beat that common result you will pretty quickly expand and then you won't be an O/O anymore, you'll be a company owner with a different set of problems. Those problems will mostly be drivers who complain about having to work a little harder than they think they should and are bringing home less than they think they deserve.FoolsErrand Thanks this. -
When I asked my company it was 82% for vans iirc. $25 a week for trailer rental. They cover most of the rest. 65% seems pretty low.

Pure Freightlines pays 80%. Higher if you have your own trailer. Renting a dry van from them to use costs $213 a week. Can use your own insurance or pay to use theirs.
small company out of Chicago with less then a hundred drivers.
