Team Driving?

Usually teams "split" an amount per mile. Say 40 cents. So each person will get 20 cents per mile.

Some companies (like FFE) will pay each team driver according to experience. (up to the normal amount)

Some O/O will pay mileage, and some will pay percentage.
I know some that pay 20cpm for all miles truck runs as TEAM.

I am a lease operator and my partner "works for me".
I split the profit (after expenses) with her 50/50.
She does HALF the work, so she deserves half the rewards.
It's just like we are both leasing the truck instead of just one name.

 

Wrong thread.

 

Wrong thread.

 

think she wanted info on prime teaming........

 

You're right, I just noticed the thread. Well, I gave her lots of food for thought.

 

ChuckTaylor posted something on how the company side split is made... I don't recall which thread. As far as L/Os are concerned it's however the two individuals decide to split the net... usually they go 50-50 on expenses and revenue; and that would require a partnership agreement to make things right for the IRS.

 

Team goes as follow
Company drivers

Lead seat gets .21 CPM
2nd seat is .19 CPM

LEASE teams

.12 CPM prime pays and the rest is determined by the lease operator.

I team and here is how I do it as a Lease Operator

Prime Pays .12 CPM with a W2
I pay .08 CPM with a 1099

 

you can guarantee Prime will back up their part. But from what I hear, they wash their hands of any problems if the LO has problems keeping his end of the pay agreement.
