    For those of you on here who have their own authority/drivers..specifically teams; just out of curiosity what do you pay your teams, how much do they average a week, starting to get the feeling were not getting paid enough..

    I drive with my father as a team, using our own truck leased on to a company. We get 1.35 a mile plus fsc usually about 40c, he pays me and keeps about 80% but we leave most of the money aside hoping to get our own authority soon, is this low/high/average pay

    And before we go further with this, lets do a little math.

    US express will pay you and a team member .50cpm using their truck and their fuel with their trailers so no expenses.

    On the higher side of miles @,50 cpm X 5000 miles = 2500.00 which is 1250.00 per driver which could be accomplished in a week as a company driver.

    Lower side of miles @ .50 cpm X 2500 miles = 1250.00 which is 625.00 per driver.

    We also get a fuel advance, and don't pay for renting trailers, tractor and trailer are both ours,paidoff. We get more than US express would pay if my math is correct..

    Team loads usually pay more as they are on a time crunch. I do flatbed and only every now and then a team load comes up (its under a time crunch) and they pay in the upper 3's to 4 dollar range per mile (the linehaul plus FSC) and I know that it should be similiar in dry van as you are paying for fast delivery.
