you are correct but I have a Co-Driver that lives 30 miles from me and I ever had a issue paying him. Like you said Prime will never get involved if a LO does not pay his co-driver.

It's covered by a contract between the drive and codriver... that means you get to handle the dispute in court.
-
You run team, right? And your a lease operator, correct? How does that work, expense wise other than you paying your co driver .08/mile? If that makes sense. Like for fuel, break downs, etc. My husband is looking to team with a lease operator. The guy is saying he will only pay .03 per mile, so a total of .15 per mile, to me that is really low. I mean my husband could drive solo company and make more than that.
-
His team miles would have to average over 5,500 every week at 15-cpm to meet the yearly averages most solo drivers post. That would be quite unlikely.
-
That is what I thought. What are the averages that solo drivers are getting, do you know?
-
That depends a bit... a few years ago I was averaging over $800 AFTER taxes. That was at the lower pay scale (2-cpm or so lower) than what solos start at now, no lightweight bonus... they didn't have them yet.
Your ol' man can do much better on his own that 15-cpm with an LO.mattswife Thanks this. -
I averaged 2500 miles per week. So at .42cpm thats 1050.00 a week before fuel bonus, which was another .02 per mile. And that is all before taxes of course.mattswife Thanks this.

break down pay we split what prime pays me what the question you have on fuel. I don't get fuel bonus
-
For Mattswife's SO, a better number would be your yearly average miles. August has reasonably good freight... what does February look like?mattswife Thanks this.
