Paying Your Driver

If paying by the mile use practical miles.

If going percentage then usually it pays from gross linehaul. I have seen some that pay percentage after fuel. Kinda keeps the driver from wasting fuel, or that's the idea at least.

 

I would think, if paying all miles having a hub meter and paying hub miles would be the easist.

I always paid percentage.on exactly what I was paid. Generally you do not pay on the fuel surcharge, but a lot of my loads were just a rate, no surcharge figured seperatly, so to keep it simple, I paid on the gross that I collected.

 

I have the driver keep track of his miles odometer.

Then
I use google
Maps type mile trucker and if the miles are close I pay odometer on the drivers favor

And ifta tracking gps doesn’t lie

 

It depends on if you are employing the driver or using a contract and paying 1099.

Employee would be paid actual miles, all miles.

If 1099, then by the load with a percentage of the load.

 

I’m 1099 cpm it works

 

You can be a genuine employee and paid percentage, just as easy as miles..

 

You don't want to compete with megas ...you can't afford thier turnover
