Pay for drivers as an O/O.

Have a truck I need a driver for. But wondering whats the best pay scale. Use to work for a small company and was getting 4”60/40 split after fuel. Wanted to know if this is still a good pay scale or should i consider cents per mile. Am a driver so i dont want to seem like im jerking someone. Any other small company can give me some advice on how they handle pay. Thanks in advance

 

1099

 

Really not familiar with how is best. Thats why i made this thread. Never had drivers. But thats how i was paid when i drove for a small company.

 

So let me ask another question does any other small 3 truck company pay thrre drivers W2 or 1099. And whar pay scale works bedt gor them. Cents per mile or percentage split.
