    We paid our drivers 28%-30% (T4 employees), I wouldn't even think of trying to operate a truck on that little.

    When we were contracted on percentage, the truck was receiving 88% or 75% (their trailer).

    ETA: And these were trucks that were earning ~$350,000-$400,000/year.

    Thank you for that. The percentage I quoted (31%) is the amount I receive after all expenses. That is the 22% taken by the company (giving me the OO 78%, fuel, license, insurance etc) . I am a new OO and just trying to understand what kind of average other OO's are making after all deductions.

    How much do you net? And with truck payments or no payments? Own authority or company?

    I'm gonna take a guess and say if he is getting 16-18k(gross)he is probably seeing 7-9(net) take home. Plus or minus 1k.
