thought you was leasing a driver, meant he had a truck leasing to you.
if he’s buying like a 1099, be something like a 50/50 split after fuel.
means you pretty much both split fuel say $4000 gross- fuel $1100/2 $550/each
$4000-$550 (your part of fuel) $3450x50%
$1750 for that example

That’s if your leasing to sale the truck to him.

Why not just pay your driver on W2 instead of “leasing” them the truck?

 

Because you have to pay FICA/Medicare/UMC/Comp/File 941/940/State filings/ect. Maybe even offer benefits.

 

So hire him on W2 and pay him 30% of gross. That will still be gooood money and he won’t be making the payments on something that doesn’t have his name on the title. Then when he has his own truck just lease him onto your authority.

 

So he is free to pick his own work and run when he wants?
